It's Get Messy Friday! Yay! I was pretty busy this week with work and my friend coming to visit from Chicago mid-week, but I surprisingly managed to produce two spreads. I wasn't even sure I'd get one done. So yay again! This week's spreads were created using bits and pieces from my Get Messy swap pack that I received last week from[...]
I honestly didn't keep to my intention this week to journal a bit each day. Between doctor stuff and going back to work, it kind of got lost. But I was able to work and complete two spreads from this week's prompts. I didn't really feel any of the prompts like I did last week. I read them over a few times, but nothing really stood out[...]
hong kong Not much of a photo diary, but after Thailand, John and I hopped on a plane to Hong Kong for Christmas. There was so much to see and do and such little time that I didn't really take that many photos in Hong Kong and the ones that I did didn't come out so great. Plus, towards the end of our long trip, I kind of got a b[...]
Get Messy is back and I am so happy to be back home to participate in Get Messy 3.0! The first season just started on February 1st, and it's the Season of Happy! While I'm nowhere near to being happy myself, this first weeks' prompts have been such great therapy for me. Short backstory: in the third month of my 3-month backpacking tri[...]
Since I decided not to continue with Project Life for this year, I finally had the chance to play with Heidi Swapp's Memory Planner. I wanted to try her planner last year when she came out with her new system, but I had already decided to do Project Life and to keep two different albums documenting the same bits of my life just seemed[...]
chiang mai, thailand Chiang Mai was a nice break from Bangkok. We went up on an overnight train for a weekend before heading to Hong Kong, and while I wasn't feeling too well (I had an allergic reaction to something, I don't actually know what it was, but that's another story entirely) I still managed to enjoy my time there.[...]
ayutthaya, thailand While staying in Bangkok, we decided to do a day trip to the city of Ayutthaya and visit all of the ancient temples there. We contemplated doing the trip on our own, but instead booked a small group tour from our hostel for a full day tour of the temples of Ayutthaya with an English-speaking guide, lunch[...]
bangkok, thailand After a really long trip by ferry and bus, we made it to Bangkok. The bus we were on left us somewhere in central Bangkok and after an hour or so of trying to find a reasonable taxi to Hua Lamphong, we made it to our hostel, @Hua Lamphong, only to realize that we didn't have a room booked for that night. Wh[...]
phuket, thailand We finally made it to Thailand! From Penang, we flew into Phuket, an island on the west coast of Thailand. We only stood in Phuket for a couple of days and used it as a home base for the famous Phi Phi Islands. We stood in Karon Beach on Phuket, which was very nice and probably a much better choice instead o[...]
kuala lumpur, malaysia We visited KL for a few days in order to travel through from Singapore to Thailand. KL is a fair city. We were only there for about three days and really didn't do very much. We ended up taking a really nice Aeroline bus from the Harbourfront in Singapore to KLCC. One first impression, I thought KL was[...]
As 2015 is ending and a new year is approaching, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately of what creative projects I'm going to do in 2016. With the absence of Project Life for 2016, I have a lot more freedom to do more documenting in whatever format I want. I most particularly enjoy minibooks, so I was thinking of making 2016 the year[...]
singapore Not going to lie, but I was happy to leave Indonesia for Singapore. I had been anticipating coming here the whole trip so far and was just so excited to finally be there. Indonesia is a beautiful country, don't get me wrong, but I think after a month I needed a bit of a metropolis. I am a big city girl at heart and I th[...]
