Hello, Pilipinas 🇵🇭

I’m so excited to see you in Manila this March 8, 2025 for a special event I’m organizing at Milk+ Studio.

Manila is where I started my creative journey (10 years ago!) so this event is extra special, as it feels like a homecoming of sorts.

This is where you’ll find my workshop sign-ups and more information to take note of before the event 📔 See you there!

💛 Abbey

  • "(The workshop was) lots of fun—I appreciated the time to fiddle and experiment with supplies and hear about Abbey’s experiences and approach."

    - Katherine

  • “I enjoyed getting to know Abbey’s insights on how she journals every day. It really helped me to try a different style of journaling, and gave me a new perspective on how i can keep memories ☺️”

    - Hien

  • “The workshop set a spark within me. My love for journaling was fully back and since then I've been enjoying journaling again, because after so many years of journaling I felt tired of it.”

    - Sandra

  • “I enjoyed (the workshop) immensely! Abbey was a thoughtful presenter and very engaging.”

    - Jenn

  • “I actually do my creative spreads now, instead of just printing photos and telling myself I'll get to it eventually. Abbey offered a bunch of helpful tips for facing down a blank page that I use in both my daily planner and different creative journals to get past "what if I screw it up?" anxiety.”

    - Heidi

  • “Abbey is an engaging and dynamic teacher with a great sense of humor! I found the workshop to be well paced and comprehensive. Abbey struck a good balance between introducing new journal keepers to the hobby and giving experienced attendees new ideas.”
