mid-year reflections | journal with me ✩ 26

June 3, 2019
mid-year reflections

I took a lovely walk to Central Park this past weekend and did a bit of journaling in my unraveling journal, jotting down my mid-year reflections. I actually journaled about a few other things as well, but for the purpose of introducing and sharing this particular journal with me, I primarily journaled on my mid-year reflections.

Since it was the first of June, I wanted to get down a few thoughts on where I am now and how well I’ve been keeping up with my One Little Word, which for this year is bloom. I ended up using my new free printable, June Bloom, to decorate this spread. I thought it was fitting and it matched the overall color scheme and theme of this journal too.

Along with my printable, I also tried adding a bit of mixed media. I kind of made of mess of it though. I used my Arteza watercolor pencils* first to decorate the page with a few hearts, then decided to take out my Jane Davenport watercolors* to give the page a more watercolor wash look. That was a mistake. I sort of knew it the minute I laid down a little too much yellow at the start. But you’ll see how I saved everything in the journal with me video below.

Besides that spread, I did a bit of journaling a on few pages that I had previously decorated but never journaled on. I especially love this one where I used a piece of lace as a tip-in. It covered up my journaling on one of the pages. I love how it hides the journaling but at the same time shows that there is indeed some thoughts behind the curtain. I paired this page with this lovely card from Nazy at Amity Bloom, which reads:

Happiness blooms where seeds of love and joy are planted.

I loved the sentiment and how it fits perfecting on the page. It compliments the piece of floral fabric I have sewn onto my page to create the tip-in well. I simply tucked a doily behind it to complete the spread.

I had such a lovely time in the park this time around. It was a really nice day out. I managed to ignore all of the people around me while I walked through the park, searching for a spot to sit down and journal. While on my walk, I was very mindful off all of the nature around me. I managed to spot A LOT of the wildlife that lives in Central Park, which was a pleasant surprise. There were some moments I wish I caught on film because they were so magical. But I guess there was a reason I wasn’t rolling for those moments…I’m thinking those moments were just for me.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy a little look into my time at the park and enjoy the journal with me!

I think I might film an updated “My Current Journals” video just to share them all. I’ve got a few that I don’t think I’ve ever shared before.

It's really amazing to see how much my journaling has changed since I actively started creating and sharing. I'm very much about THE WORDS lately, but I've been itching to begin a journal just about THE ART. 

I treated myself to some new art supplies this past weekend. I'm hoping I can carve out some time to create art again just as I've been creating the time to write it all out.

Maybe I'll have a new art journal to share soon... xx

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
