Setting up a new month in your journal is exciting. What theme should I pick? Which supplies will I get to use these next 4 weeks?
It's the first monthly set up for the year, so it can feel a bit nerve-wracking. But the trick is just to get in there and create! With a pencil first, of course :)
Here are some theme ideas for you to choose from -
Pastel Theme
A dreamy pastel theme gives you a chance to use those beautiful pastel brush pens and washi tapes!

Books Theme
I personally love books of ALL kinds - murder mysteries, personal development, lettering workbooks -- you name it and it's (at the very least) on my Amazon wishlist. Translating that love into a BuJo month theme would be fun, as you can see below!
