I started using my Traveler’s Notebook in the second half of 2024, and I’ve been using it little by little, and I’ve finally finished half of my first notebook ! 🎉
My Traveler’s Notebook has only one purpose: “decorating to record memories .” Until now, I would throw away tickets I used on fun trips and outings because there was no point in keeping them, but then I suddenly learned about the idea of pasting them into a notebook. Since I’ve always loved stationery and drawing, I thought it would be so much fun to decorate my memorable tickets with stickers and memo pads!
recent purchases
…I haven’t written any stationery articles recently, but I have lots of cute things I’ve bought that I haven’t posted yet (but if I post them all, the photos will be too cluttered and hard to see), so I’d like to show them off somewhere soon.
For now, I’d like to take a look back at all the planner decorations I’ve done so far ! Many of them have been featured in other articles, but I thought I’d take a different approach and reflect on my memories related to the materials I used. Please join me if you’re interested. Let’s go! 🚙

my first solo trip 📓🦢 I was so happy that I was able to keep
the stickers I got at the gelato shop and art exhibition
instead of throwing them away.
the stickers of the girls in the upper right on social media and I really wanted them, so I searched everywhere and finally bought them at the fourth LOFT store I went to 🧵🍃
I participated in the sticker buffet, so I
even got some Korean-style stickers that I don’t usually choose 🇰🇷
and this one is probably at Hotel New Otani 🧁☕️
Cutting and pasting is simply fun, so
I decorate even if the only materials I have are pamphlets ✂︎✂︎
& Ramen Museum (the blue record is the admission ticket) I learned on social media
that using the bag (top right) is cute, so I tried it.
and bought lots of easy-to-use checkered patterns.
I was also able to make use of the bag sealing stickers (thank you) 🗒️
the background of the notebook didn’t need to be visible, so I crammed it in tightly, and I especially love the right page 🫶🏻
I had the bouquet of roses preserved as pressed flowers, so I
also have the shop card from that time 🤍🥛
The Mt. Fuji fan I got at Hana Terrace
is doing a great job~
The brick-style square sticker in the upper right is my masterpiece;
I learned that it’s okay to cut the stickers so they stick out 🧱
(especially from SK-II), and I was so happy that I decorated them 🪿🤍
It was fun making it look like cherry blossom petals were fluttering around!
Gyumugyu Cafe, and lots of materials (shop cards)! My favorite page, carefully selected and packed with them.

…Looking back at these photos brings back so many memories, it’s so fun! It’s definitely a different way to preserve memories than photos , and that’s something unique to decorating a planner. I intend to continue doing this at my own pace and have fun with it.
Thank you for reading to the end!
I hope we can meet again.
See you soon!
