Quiz Time

Posted by: Angie Lucas
A quiz is truly the best journaling shortcut I know. And a good quiz can also spark stories, ideas, and insights that you might never think to record if you hadn't been asked. With that idea in mind, I decided to create an ongoing album last year to capture my life at age 33. I wrote a fun quiz just for this purpose, and answered the same questions on the last day of each month for an entire year. (My birthday is March 31, so it made sense for me to choose the last day of the month, but you really can choose any day of the month you wish.) To see the steps for creating an album link this of your own, check out my blog today.





Here's what the quiz itself looks like:



To download this exact quiz in pdf form, simply click here.

To see six months of completed pages featuring this quiz, large enough for you to read the journaling, visit my blog today!


And to win a FREE copy of Quick & Creative Quizzes, an eBook containing about a dozen completely unique (and fun!) quizzes like this one (including a recurring quiz or two), just leave a comment on this post!

I like the idea of a monthly quiz. I've been meaning to scrap about myself and this seems so doable! Thanks for sharing.

That's a cool idea Angie! I think I'll have to do this too. Maybe this will help get rid of my album phobia!

I so often get stuck with journaling. This sounds like a great way to kick start my brain. I think it will be really fun to have my kids and husband write their own answers right on the layouts! I can't wait to try it!

I began something similar to this in January. I've had so much fun sitting down once and month and just thinking about my life at that moment...and you just reminded me that I haven't answered the questions for April, yet!

what a great idea to document a year in your life. This will be perfect (assuming I remember to start) for when I turn 30 this year. (*gulp* lol) Thanks for the chance to win the book too!

I really like the idea of using a quiz or a group of questions. I have never scrapped about myself, but feel I need to change that. Thanks.
