Thursday’s RECAP

Hiya sistahs 🙂

Just thought I would share a little bit of DIS and a little bit of DAT with you 🙂

I’ve been journaling a LOT lately :).. keeping up in one of my favorite planners called the HOBONICHI.  If you haven’t heard of it, BEWARE.  ENABLER ALERT and I CANNOT be blamed.  N’uh uh… Nope.. not taking responsibility for this one :).  The shocking thing about this Hobo (as I refer to him) is that I actually have been using it almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.  The beauty of the size I bought (A5) is that it has the month at a glance (which I love)… the Week at a glance.. Which I love.. and Daily pages which I enjoy collaging and scribbling in  ( I actually decorate all of my pages :)).  Ive mentioned it here before but I love documenting life.. taking and printing little pictures.. writing about the good, the bad and the UGLY.. and basically leaving a legacy for those around me.. to maybe understand me more.. to create my own “history” by gluing things in that are current but that won’t be so current in 50 years.. LOL.. does that make sense?  I won’t be so current in 50 years.. HAHA. I make me laugh!

Another thing I love about this journal is the paper… ahhhhh… the paperrrrrrr…  It’s called Tomoe River paper and it is GLORIOUS!  It’s super thin and can take a lot of abuse.. it takes fountain pens beautifully without much show through.. you can stamp on it.. you can even watercolour and collage on it too.. It’s OUTSTANDING. Bella’s stamp of approval fo’ sho’.

Here’s my page from yesterday.. where I treated myself to an OMBRE (where your hair is darker at the top and gradually gets a bit lighter towards the bottom)…. my hair was so grey that I couldn’t even look in the mirror any more! not that there is anything wrong with grey… but I no likey on me.  So I decided to do something a little different.. change things up  a bit.

On the TOP RIGHT of the page you will see our JAVA SPILLS stamp… this is my GO TO stamp to make backgrounds, to fill space in my journals.. etc.  it’s AMAZINK.

I was speaking to my friend today and confirmed my journaling portion on this page with her.  It’s not only me who feels HIDEOUS at the hairdresser.  I LOATHE looking in the mirror there.. LOL.. why do I feel so yuck there? My friend also said she feels the same way.. she thinks there’s something in the lighting and that there should be photo filters everywhere as soon as you walk in LOL.

Another great thing about this journal is that you can use all your scraps in there… you can swatch your coloured pencils, inks paints.. It’s about life and what’s important to you.  It’s YOUR place to play.

LOVE.

Another thing I shared on social media today was that our very own FAYEW-Jabella got our Tiny Townie Penelope has a pencil on the right hand side of the COVAH of Making Cards magazine.  WOOHOOOOOO!!!  Take a lookie.

I also didn’t do WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH PAULA yesterday!  Here’s her STUNNING CARD using Tiny Townie Blossom loves BALLOONS..her colouring?  sigh.

Mwah to da sistahs who “make their own journaling history”
