My Everyday Life Week 1

My Everyday Life Week 1- Here’s what this past week looked like! 

First page of my Hobonichi Cousin for 2026!  This is my daily check-in/art practice.

Tracy Benjamin- Hobonichi Cousin

I was busy packing up Currently Workbooks this week! 

If you are an international friend, you can get one through Blurb. 

And if you’re not ready to commit to the whole practice, you can download the template to make your own binder OR use it as a digital planner.

This will be my third year using this planner cover. It was originally red with flowers. 

I painted it using black gesso and paint pens. Hooray for DIY. 

I spent some time this week going through my past workbooks.
