get messy: season of kindness week two

get messy: season of kindness week two
* This post contains affiliate links *

I managed to get two spreads made for week two of Get Messy Art Journal Season of Kindness. I really like how these two spreads turned out. I didn’t really follow the prompts this week, but I did create a spread from the week’s tutorial by Sarah, which I thought was so wonderful.

So this first spread is my take on Sarah’s Healing Heart tutorial that was posted on the private member’s blog for this week. I used some wallpaper scraps I had that I had painted with some left over paint from a different project. I painted the wallpaper in a way that created this really soft pastel rainbow effect. The colors matched my journal, so I decided to cut my hearts out of it. I did paint over the pages of my journal a bit with some white gesso and really light pink and mint paint, just to brighten the pages a bit. I added some pen scribbles in places before cutting up a poem I had from some magazine that I thought fit the spread. I cut them into strips and after gluing them down, I added a few white ink splatters to finish off the spread.

This second spread I kept very minimal. Since the pattern page on the left had all those butterflies on it, I wanted to use this dimensional butterfly Prima flower on the blank page on the right. It looked really plain with just the butterfly there, so I used black Liquitex Ink to add some ink splatters across the page. On the pattern page, I just added half of a doily to the page to soften the pattern up a bit and simply added a label sticker that reads “Kindness & Love.”

I’m definitely looking forward to next week’s prompts. This was a blah week for me. I wasn’t feeling very well, so I really think it affected my flow. I’m feeling a bit better now, so here’s to a better week ahead.

    I love these pages, Tiffany. Their softness goes well with the idea of being kind to ourselves.

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx
