reflections on 2019

Before I jump into 2020 in my unraveling journal, I wanted to wrap up 2019 with a reflections entry. I wanted to reflect back on my year and jot down some thoughts on what I’ve learned about myself. I decided to use the remaining bits of my December Winter Cottage printable for this spread, seeing how I I haven’t used it in this journal yet. Seeing bits from each of my monthly printables in this journal is a nice visual of my growth as a designer, and I rather like that.

This spread is very journal heavy. I wanted to get down everything I pondered while filling out the Unravel Your Year workbook. For one of the prompts, Susannah asked us to look back on not only our year but the entire decade and jot down anything you learned. She had me look back through my previous Unravel Your Year workbooks–I’ve been keeping them since 2014–to see my progress. It was very insightful and may did I really did learn a lot about myself in the last ten years.

It’s been really interesting to see which of my One Little Words I actually manifested during that time. 2015’s unravel was a big one for me. At the time, I didn’t think I had manifested that word in my life as much as I could have. But looking back on my writing, I really did embrace that word that year. Same with 2016’s create. All of my words though–except maybe brave–I’m still working at. I never feel quite done with them at the end of the year, and it’s been interesting to see how mindful I’ve been with choosing the new word. For every new word seemed to encompass the old word…unravel, create, open, bloom, flourish. The magic of filling out these workbooks throughout these years made me realize that.

Anyway, I filmed my process of creating this spread, which you can watch below. I hope you enjoy.

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
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
