Dear Feet, You’ve taken me to so many amazing places, walked me through time and history, kept me grounded in my world and supported my weight through so many adventures. We’ve touched the earth in so many different places. We experienced so many new lands and cultures and habitats. We adapted. We took barefooted strolls along the beaches of the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean, and the Pacific and Thailand. We…

april love 2016: dear home
Read moreDear Home, They say that home is where your heart is and I’m starting to think that they’re right. Home to me is wherever I feel most content, most comfortable and the most myself. It is where my mind and my heart can run free and be whomever they want to be. Home is my shelter. It is where I’m with my family, the only people in the entire world…

april love 2016: dear love
Read moreDear Love, I’ve always questioned you. And I suppose that I still do. I will never truly understand the entire scope of your reach until I deeply witness it first hand. I don’t think I’ve ever been “in love.” I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I still have time, but I think it’s unfortunate. I’ve been “in like” with a person but I never trust them enough to fall…

the art of journaling + get messy season of love: love is confusing
Read moreI’m back with another art of journaling spread, featuring Get Messy Season of Love. This is probably my favorite spread yet! I was sort of inspired by a tutorial from Season of Happy and had that in mind when I was doing this page. One of the Season of Love prompts said to think about and journal some of the bad, less romantic aspects of love or being in love…

the art of journaling + get messy season of love: what is love?
Read moreSo, with Get Messy: Season of Happy being over and the fact that I wasn’t really creating much in any of my art journals recently–towards the end there I because dissatisfied with my Happy book I made–I decided to go back to journaling in my “art of journaling” notebook. I’m just going to call it that, because that’s what I titled the series of spreads I did in it last…

kikki k haul: vanskap collection
Read moreI rarely share haul posts here on the blog (I do share my hauls on my YouTube channel), but this was too cute not to share. I ordered a few things from Kikki K’s new collection, Vanskap. It is the most adorable collection yet. It reminds me of their Dreaming Collection from 2012, which was a beautiful collection (and so me!) that I was never able to purchase as it…

my 2016 heidi swapp memory planner: february
Read moreOne thing I wanted to dedicate myself to this year was a new way to document my everyday for a whole year. I always did Project Life, but last year it sort of fell short and I wasn’t inspired anymore with the system. It wasn’t doing anything for me anymore. So this year, I decided to try out Heidi Swapp’s Memory Planner. I punched my Memory Planner into my Marion…

get messy: season of happy week four
Read moreIt’s time for Get Messy! This week I based my two spreads that I somehow–quite magically in fact–managed to create on just one of the prompts. The one based on Baz Luhrmann’s “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen).” I played around with two lyrics from the song that stood out to me. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. This was the first lyric that…

I compiled a video from the clips (as usual) and made this great video. I love making these videos! They are so fun and great memory keepers. I love looking back on them every once in a while. For this one, I used…
