You all remember this...
...it is getting full!
I have been putting all kinds of stuff in it. It is fun, and addictive.
I found the lemon picture in a magazine...I wrote, "When life gives you lemon... ADD VODKA!
One night I got my vintage folder with a ton of stuff I collected a long time ago, and did a collage page. I really didn't think about it, just glued stuff down.
This is a "to do" list I did for a week. I decided it needed to be in here.
The "art" is just a paper I had, and liked it, so it is here now. I cut the "memories" title from a magazine, along with the exclamation mark, and smashed in the packaging from the candles I put on Jake's cake.
I have two adorable Dachshund babies, so this page is for them. The picture isn't mine, I found it on the net.
More magazine clippings...
Here are ideas from the net, from magazines...Here for future reference.
That's just some of the stuff I have been doing. I also have been putting all sorts of clippings and such for projects I want to do, decorations and furnishings I love, quotes that are funny, etc. I love to just look through it every once in a while. It has turned into a daily junque/smash/inspiration/art journal. Whatever I like goes in.
Stay crafty, my friends!

ReplyDeleteOf wondering "what the heck" is journaling is all about?
I made my journal...lots of pages...all colors of
Papers...turned out very thick and "daunting"!!!

Of faith and dove right in. From that point on I just
Found all kinds of things I had tucked away...added
Them to my journal...two months laterit is 3/4 full!
