december daily 2018: week three

december daily 2018: week three

Y’all I’m still doing December Daily, I can’t believe it! In all honestly though, I’m rather enjoying taking a little time out each week to work in this little book. It’s been stress-free and I’m absolutely loving how all of my pages are coming out! Even if I’m not really telling a story–cause let’s be honest, my December has been pretty boring–I’m still enjoying the process of creating these pages.

For this first two-pager, I dug into the new kit from Suse Fish because I couldn’t resist not using that beautiful floral bunch paper! It took me awhile to decide if I even wanted to cover it up with something because it’s so pretty. Eventually I settled on a delicate white doily, a Kikki K kitty, and a short title I whipped up by combining all the different words from Suse’s kits.

On the opposite page, I turned one of the personal-sized planner pockets into a sequined pocket page, simply by sewing through the center with my sewing machine. I made a little random sequin mix for the bottom pocket and even included a few of those wood veneer snowflakes. Then I printed a photo of the rag dolls I had made just to finally include it into my book.

One thing I love about clear pockets are the “windows” they create when you use bits like sequins to fill them. I like being able to see a peek of whatever’s behind it. So of course, I had that with this pocket. I simply backed my photo with one of my favorite pattern papers from The Fairytale Club and layered a few bits from Suse’s kits on top.

The next page I kept rather simple. I added some white ink splatters and used one of Suse’s journal cards as my focal point. I love currently cards like this. They have me stop and jot down all the things I’m currently loving/reading/watching/etc. At the time I filled this out, I was watching Love Actually–I probably watched it at least three times this week–because I love it so much. I’m not much for Christmas movies, but Love Actually isn’t really a Christmas movie, it’s just set during Christmas. Kind of like Serendipity. It kind of has that same early-2000s vibe. Anyway that was the first bit I wrote down and probably the most important.

Speaking of Love Actually, I even included the quote that begins the entire movie in my book! I’m not kidding when I say I watched this film three times this week–cause I totally did. I love the Liam Neeson storyline; it’s bittersweet and totally cute. Bill Nighy is a total riot in this film too. I love him. And if I’m completely honest, I rather enjoy British films. Personally whenever I watch one, I’m always amazed at how many great British actors were in Harry Potter, cause in any British movie I watch there’s at least one HP actor in it.

The following page is another art journal page I did for my Get Messy tutorial. I decided this was the perfect spot for it, so I included it here.

I ended up backing my art journal page with this pretty Suse Fish paper. I love the colors of this festive page! And if I’m frank, I don’t think this page is completely finished. I may have to go back and add something to it, but for now I left it as it it. Because on the opposite I mounted a lovely card from Suse onto a bit of Felicity Jane packaging because I wanted the card in my little book. That gold glitter star is also from Suse’s package. She jotted a little note on the back of it, so of course it had to go in too! I love have little sentiments like these in my book. I did something similar with some gifts my friends gave me the first time I attempted a December Daily. It’s always nice to look back on these simple things.

For this last spread, I went rather green. This week was really a struggle for me. I was insanely hormonal and very emotional. It was like the case of the blahs times a thousand. I felt so down and out. I don’t like wasting an entire week, but sometimes the week must be wasted. At least I finally got to put those Felicity Jane Brooke pieces to use!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
