Art Journaling

another type of journal :)

Hiya sistahs,

I had my lalalala day last Friday with my friend Galit, and I was very tempted and did in fact buy the CUTEST, BUBBLIEST, YUMMIEST looking Fuji polaroidy (is that a word? LOL) camera.. I just couldn’t resist.. and boy did I have an ideaR to go with it.

I mean COME ON.. could you resist this thing?

so my idea was to start another journal (of course).. you don’t have to start a new one.. you can continue in the one you are using now.. and I decided to take pictures .. random instant pictures throughout the week and journal about them in my “MOLEY” (that’s what Dena and I call our Moleskine  journals).. I think that photos are so important in journaling.. I mean nothing better than capturing a moment, right?  So this is a type of journaling when I am not in the mood to HAUL.. and I mean HAUL my supplies out, this is a fun way to just sit and write what you felt in that picture.. what about the picture made you TAKE that picture..etc..

So now my new thing is that I NEED another tattoo.. yup I know.. I am CRAZY.. but I reHeally want one.. and that is the basis for my entry below.  Dena’s friend Gina has a GORGEOUS tattoo right in between  the thumb and pointy fingah.. you will see in the picture below.

just some inspiration for a snowy Wednesday

mwah to da sistahs who lovey da tattoos and da MOLEYS

    I love journaling… have done it for years, & years, & years. This gives a fresh perspective to that idea. Super thanks!

    Have been obsessively looking at the instax mini lately! I think I need one. Also, obsessing about a new tattoo or 2 or 3! You my friend are an enabler!

    OH THANKS EM. Now I want one too! Not a tattoo – no thanks on that one! But that cute camera – YOU ENABLER LOL!! 🙂

    The tatoo would look perfect on you. Fun and small. Does it hurt to have it done?
    I can’t wait to see the new camera. I always carry my Canon Rebel when I am near the grandkids but I do not take other pictures of every day things when they are not around. Lots of missed opportunities.

    I have always wanted a Polaroid, so I am a little jealousy of you lol

    Journaling huh? I don’t know where I would store my journaling books if I were to start. I’ve already had to buy furniture to accomodate photo albums, not to mention scrapbooks :p

    Now this is my kind of journal…photos, journaling, doodling…nothing too artsy and messy! 🙂 It’s kind of like Project Life, but less structured. Hmmm…maybe I need one of those cameras…We can take pictures of “the glow”. LOL
