there used to be a flash web part called "Amy's Lyric Journal" on the official Evanescence website. it contained drawings from her first diary.

the others were shared on Evanescence website as a 2013 anniversary scrapbook, on the old EvThreads, EvClub, Twitter, Fandom, Pinterest and many other places.

unfortunately many of these primary sources don't exist anymore. but you can see a lot of these pictures on Evanescence Reference with more detailed info.
