things i’m loving ✩ 23 | july 2021

July 31, 2021

July seems like it passed by in a total blur if I’m to be honest. Like, I feel like I haven’t been homes in days—that sort of blur. My temp job ended this week (sort of) and I just feel a lot lighter. I did agree to stay on for two more week at a part-time schedule to help train others in what I do there because we had some abrupt department changes, but I feel good about this decision. Full-time work just doesn’t work for me and that’s okay.

Anyway, despite feeling like I had absolutely no time for myself, I still found a few gems and moments of job is all the busyness. I managed to read THREE books this month after all. So here are a few things I found myself enjoying this month:

WATCHING

The Mysterious Benedict Society on Disney+!!! I’m so utterly excited about this show. It’s based on one of my favorite YA/Middle Grade book series by Trenton Lee Stewart. I didn’t even know Disney was doing a show out of it, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw it as a new release on Disney+. Of course, I watched it right away! Only four episodes have been released so far and the show is so good! It definitely has A Series of Unfortunate Events vibe to it—which I don’t remember the books ever having—but I can see why they would take that approach. But either way, it’ becoming a new favorite.

CREATING

in my Summer Stories journal and participating in Junk Journal July. So I decided to try out the Junk Journal July challenge in this journal because I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had any time to make any sort of memories this summer to document in here. I figured these prompts would get me going in at least making a few art journal style pages…and you know, to document the little things. So far, I’ve been having fun with it. I haven’t done all of the prompts yet, but that’s okay. I’ll definitely take them into August to help jumpstart my journaling.

READING

Signs Point to Yes by Sally Hall. Not the best book I read this summer—not by a long shot—but the better book out of the last two books I read. I gave this one 3 1/2 stars. It was cute. I also got through it really fast too. I’m just not a fan of Sally Hall’s books. While this one was better than the first one I read of hers, it still left a bit to be desired. It was simple and cute. The parent dynamics were frustrating and weird, but compared to the other two books I read this month, this one was good.

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
