    Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast hosted by Daisy @MyGreenCow and Meg @megjournals 📖✨ This week Meg is joined by Ian from @ThePaperSparrow to chat about using journaling as a mindful creative practice, the joy of running a journaling club to build creative community, and Ian's collection of Kaweco fountain pens! Join us for this crafternoon full of stationery supplies and create in your journal - and as Ian says, let the paper fulfil its destiny! Ian is an avid journal keeper and analogue enthusiast.
