Meet & Greet and Meetup
Meet & Greet and Meetup are FREE with admission to Little Craft Fest 2025
Friday 4/25 - 7:30pm - 9pm RSVP here
This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow journal enthusiasts and share your passion for creativity and self-expression.
Whether you're a seasoned journaler or just starting out, this meetup is open to everyone. Bring your favorite journals, pens, and supplies to exchange ideas, tips, and tricks. Discover new techniques, get inspired by others, and make lasting connections within the journaling community. We will have a community destash that you can take items from or add items to, so if you have stationery items to destash, bring them along!
About Houston Journal Society:
Founded in January 2023, the Houston Journal Society began as a small group of passionate enthusiasts who shared a love for journaling, stationery, pens, and inks. Unable to find a community that truly reflected our interests, we decided to create our own—and it quickly blossomed. Today, our growing Discord community has over 350 members, and our monthly meetups continue to expand. Whether you're a seasoned journaler or just curious about getting started, we warmly welcome everyone to join us. This meetup is open to anyone, whether you are a current member, future member, curious about the club, joining us from out-of-town, or just want to wind down for the night with some journal time. See you there!

Cynthia from Wonton In A Million, Irene from Simply Gilded, and Margaret from OnceMoreWithLove are more than just stationery shop owners - they're real-life friends who love nothing more than "sardine-ing" (squeezing) into one bed to cuddle, laugh, and catch up on life. They’re bringing their love, creativity, and friendship to this meet-and-greet! Come say hi and snag some goodies with us! We'd love to see you!

hi my name is aarti & im the creator of leelajournals! for as long as i can remember i’ve loved art & hoarded stationery. i find refuge from life’s burdens in the creative. in 2020 i was laid off from my corporate design job. i took this as a sign from the universe communicating w me that it’s time to put my everything into my craft. & that’s exactly what i did. i’m a stationery designer who specializes in notebooks & washi (& other things). i find inspiration in fairytales, whimsical design, childlike nostalgia, & girlhood. my work is a physical manifestation of my inner world.
i make pretty stationery that serves one purpose: to help you feel inspired to create (again). if i bring even one person joy from creating then my job is done! i hope you’ll come check out my booth 🙂 this is my first meet-&-greet, i’m nervous bc i have terrible social anxiety 😛 (this year i’m trying to get out of my comfort zone hehe) but really, i’m excited too bc i can’t wait to meet the people who’ve supported me all these years!! 🎀✨
