December Tin Teddy Daily Journal Prompts

Here are the Tin Teddy Daily Journal Prompts for the month of December 2020 . There is a printable PDF version available too.

Please feel free to interpret them as loosely as you like – or change, rearrange or ignore them too.

It is up to you how much or little you write each day – it may vary.

I will be doing the challenge myself and will put up some of my entries on Instagram.

Use hashtag #tinteddyjournal to post your own daily journaling – but please don’t feel you need to share what you write with anyone! The journaling is for your own benefit, but if you want to share, then please do.

1 Write about how your life has changed in the past year

2 You need to go undercover for a while for a secret mission. Create a new persona for yourself. What is your name, job and pretend life?

4 If a stranger saw your bookcase, music collection or movie collection, what do you think they would assume about you? Would it be true?

5 You are going to give your bedroom or craft room a magical makeover. Money is no object, and the room is as big as you want it to be! If you share a bedroom, you could imagine this is your own personal room.
