scrap therapy: remembering cherry blossoms

March 31, 2020

Hello lovelies.

I managed to sit down at my desk the other day and work in my little scrap therapy book. I’ve been feeling much better these last few days and I honestly credit hours playing Animal Crossing for that.

Now, I should preface and say that I do not play video games. It is not my thing; I was never into. But all of my friends–and these are friends I’ve know for over 10 years–are very much into video games and always have been. We’re on a group Whatsapp chat, and since this game came out last week, that is all they’ve been doing while in quarantine. So, I commandeered my brother’s Switch (to be fair, he never uses the thing) and downloaded the game to see what it was all about.

And y’all…I may be slightly addicted to it. It is the cutest escape from all of this Covid19 stuff and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it’s done to calm my anxiety. I no longer feel tense around my shoulders. I feel okay. That said though, I need to be mindful not to play too much. I can literally spend days just playing this game. So the other night, I took a break to craft.

I decided to do this spread in my scrap therapy book documenting some blossoms from last year because I won’t be able to see them this year. I took these lovely photos of the cherry blossom trees in Central Park back in April 2019 and was hoping to go back this year and do the same. But I’m terribly scared of going outside and this is so nonessential that I won’t even risk it, even if it’s about half hour walk away. The situation is so bad here in New York City, so I’m not even going to risk it.

So, I’ll just marvel at the photos from last year and document why I can’t go visit the ones that have bloomed this year.

I’m actually quite pleased at how this spread turned out. It is very pink and awfully cheerful considering the situation. But I think I kind of wanted it to be that way.

Anyway, I managed to film a video. It’s a bit chatty in the beginning because I go over a few things I’ve been working on, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

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

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. 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
