Project: 30 Days Journal Challenge

This is the last of my journal and I really can't believe June is over, where did the days and time go! Its been a month full of rain with a little hint of sunshine but now I hope that July will be full of lots of sun especially since on Thursday I'll be spending the day at the seaside and Friday at a sculpture park... it will be really appreciated on those days!

Day 23: Today I want you to fill an entire page in your journal with one of the elements of art. (Here they are: 1. Line 2. Color 3. Shape 4. Space 5. Texture 6. Form)

I decided to do one continuous line, I could probably have done it fancier but with working on this journal at night, my brain wasn't up to thinking.

Day 24: What is your most favorite place in the world? Is it a country, a town, a room, a secret place that no one else knows about? I know you have one, I want to see it!!

My desk in my bedroom. I one day hope to have a little office in any house that I own but of course that may soon disappear if we ever have children.

  Day 25: I want you to think about your day today. If you had to describe to me in one word, or one short phrase what would it be?? Us this phrase or word repeatedly on your page, trying out new fonts

Monday to Wednesday is usually a long day and next year it will feel even longer if I'm expected to work with the children through their lunch and having mine before or after (or even split). I'll need to discuss that.

Day 26: Today you are going to write out your favorite recipe!! This can be written, illustrated, cut and pasted, something. It is always really good to document these small little pieces of your life. Don't you think?

I used to watch Ready, Steady Cook after work and one day one of the chefs made a mixed vegetable pasta with egg. Basically boil your pasta, cut your veg and put it altogether with a beaten egg. Cook it on the hob to cook the  bottom and then place it under the grill to cook the top. Eventually it turned into me just simmering the veg and boiling the pasta. Adding them both together and topping with cheese and sticking it in the oven to brown on top. My siblings preferred this way so it stuck but I don't make it often enough as its a pain to cut all that veg.

Day 27: If you could change one thing, what would it be. This could be something about yourself, your situation, your city, your country, the world...anything!!

I'm curious to know what funky career choices you'd like to make.

Day 28: What are you most looking forward to? This can be something tomorrow, in a month, a year, or way into the future :)

Day 29: Today I want you to write a letter to either your past self, or your future self. What are some things that you wish you would have known in the past? What are some things that you want to remember in the future? Write yourself a love letter today!!

A letter to my 20 year old self as I decided to just take 10 years off. My 16 year old self was just floating through life oblivious to life really.

Day 30: What did you do this week that moved you closer to reaching your goals?

This will be the last project I will post on this blog, all my others will be posted on my Bubbles blog. I have however not completed my July project yet as I've ended up getting caught up in reading and spending time with my niece. Hopefully I'll get to blog about that soon.

Project: 30 Days Journal Challenge

When making up these project list it really makes me realise how quickly time it flying by. It's Friday already, not that I'm complaining as its almost the weekend... yes! I just need to make my way through work and another horrible rainy day first.

So here it goes.....

Day 16: Short, sweet, and straight to the point :) What are you wearing today? Write it, doodle it, cut it out of a magazine, whatever!

Day 17:Today you are going to illustrate a day. It can be today, it can be yesterday, it can be a significant event that you have had in your life :) Use pictures, labels, words, doodle, sketches, anything you want, to describe your day! This is a cute one. Enjoy!

Day 18:Music is one of my most favorite things ever!! It translates emotions that I can't even imagine putting into words. I love it. Today I want you to create a playlist of some kind. It can be your summer playlist, your July playlist, songs from your wedding day, or favorite songs of all time :) This one will be another fun one to look at down the road.

Day 19: Today I want you to create a "guide to your city." What are the must-see things that you would want a visitor to experience in your city. This can guide can be for your city, town, or state.

Day 20: Here is the age old question, what is in your bag?? This has always been a great photo prompt that i have seen all over the blog world. Today, you are going to write about the contents of YOUR bag, or illustrate it, or take a picture of it, whatever :D

Day 21: What is your most favorite quote? A quote that inspires you, or your mantra. I literally have 4 journals from college filled with quotes that inspire me and make me smile. Today is the day to share your inspiring words with your friends.

Day 22: Today I want to know what your favorite holiday is!! There are soooo many holidays out there and the cool thing is that they differ depending on where you live, your family, and your religion. Teach me all about your favorite holiday and why it's your favorite.

What are you up to this weekend?

Project: 30 Day Journal Challenge

I wanted to post this yesterday but decided I wanted to read instead so I'm posting it today. Here are the next couple of pages in my journal.

Day 9:Choose another person who is very significant in your life right now. It can definitely be the same person that we wrote about on day 3. This prompt is going to be all about those wonderful adjectives, and typography. Describe your special person with as many words as you can fit. For each word, try to use a different font or writing style. This is a great way to practice fun typography

I decided to decribe my sister

Day 10:This prompt is all about collections. What do you collect? If anything. Do you collect buttons, clothes, shoes, friends, parking tickets, whatever!! Illustrate your collections. This will be fun to look back on someday and see how your collections have grown or have moved on.

Hobbies of my past, I really would love to go back into stamp collecting again as I receive some amazing ones but I'm just too lazy to take on another hobby.

Day 11:Hello friends. Today is another one of my favorite pages. And speaking of favorites, this is a page all about your faves!! We are going to list your favorites in each of these four categories: * TV shows * Music * Food * Splurges

Day 12: Journal 12 is all about trends. Whether you consider yourself "trendy" or not, I bet there are a few trends that you find yourself gravitating to. If not, you can create a page of trends that you think are lame too, it's up to you.

I seem to be following in the trends of electrical equipment. I never thought I would be something change I guess.

Day 13:Silly insecurities....we all have them unfortunately. If you don't, you are my hero :) Today I want you to document your insecurities, face them, write them down, reflect on them, and get them out of your system. Somewhere on your page I want you to write "BUT..." This will lead in to tomorrow's prompt :) This is definitely not a fun prompt but it's kind of necessary in order to move past them.

Day 14:Ok, now that we have all of the yucky insecurities out of our system, I want us to completely focus ONLY on the things that make you the amazing person that you are. What are the qualities that you possess that make you so wonderful? Don't be shy and don't be modest either on this one.

Day 15: Today I would like you to brainstorm some goals for the upcoming month. A short list of goals that will be attainable to accomplish in one month

Project: 30 Day Journal Challenge

As I mentioned last week I'm going to for this month post the 30 day Journal Challenge pages that I've done.  I've tried to stick to a similar theme throughout the journal, especially with using an ink pen as my writing is quite small and this helps it to stand out and be quite fun.  Anyway I hope that they are all in place now as the journal is on its way.

Day 2: What is the BEST part of your day? Is it working out? Is it "quitting time" at work? Is it dinner with the family? What is it? You can write about it, draw it, sketch it, doodle it, anything you like!

I also decided to add What is the Worst part of your day for this one too.

Day 3: It's always nice to share with someone why you love them. Today, I want you to draw a picture, doodle, sketch, of a person who you love, or admire. Then, write that person a letter telling them why they mean so much to you! If you are intimidated at the idea of drawing a portrait of someone, draw objects that represent that person or draw their name in a creative way

You knew I'd choose her for this one of course!

Day 4: What does your heart look like? It can be literal, it can be symbolic, it can be broken and need fixing...anything!

Letters, crafts, sweet things, chattering, sunny, music on my mind, day dreaming, broken, disappointed, tired and empty....

Day 5: This page is dedicated to your favorite blogs!! What are they? Are there any blogs that you can't go a day without checking?

These are all fantastic blogs worth following, I have of course since doing this page added many more to my favourites. A lot I lost when blogger decided to get rid of all blogs not part of it in my following list but recently lately I realised I can add them all back again, I don't understand the point of that... Why not leave it as it is in the first place? I've tried to add a little picture of what I've picked up from your blogs in the time I've followed them. Some I've been following for years but have hardly ever commented.... so a silent stalker. Since doing this page, I've been making an effort to comment too.

Day 6: It's time... It's definitely time to do something. It may be a new season for you in your life, or a time to make some goals, or it may just be time to relax (because it's Saturday right?). Draw something that represents the word time and then make a list of things that you need to do at this time in your life, or day, or week

Day 7: Today is an easy one... How are you feeling today? Sometimes it's really good to reflect on your feelings and try to figure out why you are feeling a certain way.

Day 8: Today, I want you to illustrate an "inside joke." I want this to be a page that only you and a few other people would get. Inside jokes are always fun (well, when you are a part of them I guess).

I really could not think of an 'inside joke' to share here, I now think that maybe I should have shared just a couple of jokes in general. Never mind!

I hope that you have enjoyed these entries so far.

Are you working on a project at the moment?

Project: 30 Day Journal Challenge

Sabrina at The Year of The Pumpkin arrived late posted a journal challenge last month on her blog and I decided to take part. I didn't stick to the days as I couldn't so did what I could when I could which is why I haven't had time to do anything else. I've enjoyed it and I hope that you do in learning more about me. I will continue to post my projects on a Friday so you'll have to sit patiently until them.

Day 1: Create a full day design introducing yourself.

As I bought a journal with too many pages I've added in some extra bits just to fill some of them up. You'll have to excuse any mistakes that I've made though! I've tried to stick to a similar theme of bubble writing title, calligraphy pen writing and drawing as well as adding in a few of the Instagram photos that I have taken.

If you have any journal ideas that you'd like to do but need a partner let me know as I had so much fun doing this one that I've bought some books to do more.

Are you working on any thing at the moment?
