things i’m loving ✩ 3 | october 2019

October 28, 2019

I’ve been creating a lot of content recently–half of which I haven’t even shared yet. Ever since I put myself on a strict schedule, I’ve found that I’ve been creating a lot more content, both for myself and to share with you. It’s quite amazing how my mind works sometimes. If I leave everything to myself to get done whenever I want, nothing will get done. I will literally waste so much time doing nothing. But if I have a strict schedule I need to follow–even if it’s one that I have to create for myself–I’m more inclined to work and actually create things.

You know that saying “inspiration needs to find you working?” It’s totally true. Since I’ve been creating things I want to share with you on a strict schedule, I’ve found that I’ve been inspired to create other things that I want to create for myself more. Before this self imposed schedule, my creative well was pretty dry. But now, there’s just not enough time in the day to make all of the things I want to make!

With that said, I haven’t been consuming things like I have been. But I still wanted to share some things, so here are a few things I’m currently enjoying for this month:

Reading

This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen…or at least I wanted to read this book this month. That was my plan but I haven’t exactly opened it up to begin reading.

Listening

FEVER DREAM by Of Monsters and Men. It has been awhile since Of Monsters and Men put out an album! I’ve had it since it came out in July, but of course I’m just getting around to really listening to it. I love it more than their previous album. It’s a bit lighter and reminds me of their first album, which I love! My favorite song is Vulture, Vulture.

Creating

A scrapbook layout! I haven’t scrapped in such a long time, let alone worked in my 12×12 album. But I had a little spurt of inspiration and actually created a layout for my album. It was so fun and I love how it turned out! It got me back into my album that I’ve even trimmed the photos I had printed and stuffed them into the pockets, so that when I have another urge to scrap, I have photos ready to scrap!

Preparing

My December Daily! I finally got my Crate Paper Snowflake goodies in and I ordered some fabrics to match for my little coptic book cover. I’m torn though as to which one to use! I really like that pink snowflake print, but the pink is too bright and doesn’t go with the collection. So I’m trying to decide between these two solid linens. Decisions, decisions!

Planning

NaNoWriMo, aka National Novel Writing Month. For the entire month of November, I’ll be attempting to write a novel–or 50,000 words–along with thousands of other people all over the world. I absolutely suck at NaNoWriMo, but here’s to trying again this year! Are you participating in NaNo this year? Let me now if you are!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
