I was kindly sent one of the pre-made journals created by @NinaFickettDesigns for her Keep-It-Spicy journal challenge for 2026. You can learn more about this challenge from Nina. But, basically, there are monthly prompts/inspirations. This month, we were to draw inspiration by pulling a prompt. I chose to pull from my “CraftyHope Prompts.” I have a full list of them in a spreadsheet here as promised: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NsoZL5kJKcqTjQSVRBmpzt2-m0-XFPHsAS4husXBfFY/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Nina's website with all her links are here: ninafickettdesigns.com
You can find Nina's prompt sheet for the challenge here: static1.squarespace.com/static/63b6ebe3ba0a897c885aec7f/t/68b9f214bbab876e3c4ed2c6/1757016596133/2026+Keeping+It+Spicy+Info+Sheet.pdf
