all life unraveling

unraveling 2018

December 15, 2017

It’s that time of the year again. That time when I sit down and fill out my 2018 Unravel Your Year workbook from Susannah Conway and think about all of my intentions for the new year.

This new year, I really want to simplify my life and focus on specific things that I want to get done and happen. I just feel like I took on too much this year and was sort of all over the place. Being so, I don’t think there was much movement forward. Yes, I got to do so many different things and had so many different creative opportunities awarded to me, but I feel too settled, content and slightly dependent, and I know that is not how I should be feeling at the moment. I really need to move forward and establish myself independently before I could ever truly feel settled and content.

So I thought about it and I’m ready to share with you my intentions for 2018.

For creative intentions, I’ve simplified to keeping only four planner/journals for the year. I won’t go too much into detail as I’ll leave that for a different post, but here are the planner/journals I’ll be using and how I’ll be using them:

  • One personal-sized ring planner for all planning, notes, and scraps.
  • One 6×8 memory album. Or two if I fill up the first one.
  • TN inserts/handmade journals for art journaling.
  • One big altered book art journal that I’m calling my Secret Garden art journal for playing around with mixed media.

Along with all of my journals, I want also want to:

  • Take time out for photography and go on weekly photography walks.
  • Expand my Youtube channel to include less planner/scrapbooking videos, more journaling videos, music videos and vlogs.

Besides all of my creative intentions, I’m hoping to:

  • Create more thoughtful and engaging blog posts.
  • Read 10 books in 2018 (I always set 20, but maybe 10 is more doable).
  • Join in on the conversation in the communities I’m in and engage.
  • Grow my IG and Youtube following.
  • Continue to practice mindfulness.
  • Find a job I actually like!
  • Save Save Save!
  • Think positively.
  • Worry less.

I’d say I did pretty good this year, but I could have done more. Hopefully this upcoming year I get to a place where I’m happy (or extremely content).

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
