Project: Doodle A Day ~Present and Heart~

Day 27 & 28: Presents &  Hearts

I wasn't in the mood yesterday to doodle which was a good thing as I was able to combine the 2 days together to create this. I really love the heart shapes chocolate boxes you always see in cartoons so this was the prefect excuse to create one myself.

Project: Inpiration

With hardly having received letters for the last 2 months I have hardly been to the post office which has resulted in me also not going to the library but as my sister needed me to post a card for her I decided to take my niece to the library. This also meant that I could leave another envelope somewhere so decided to choose a book from their new book range as I always head straight for that section when I managed to settle my niece down to enjoy the children books. My niece really wanted to borrow a book on Tuesday so I let her and decided on Thursday to return it. Whilst there I decided to check the new books and they were left exactly how I had left them on Tuesday in a big mess... so no one had even looked or taken the envelope. Hopefully they have by now!

I choose this one to go in the book because it has text on the paper. I also managed to start using my new frame rubber stamps on the front of the envelopes.

I've nearly finished decorating all the envelopes that I have created so far so I really need to make an effort to leave them in some of the following places....

• bus stop
• cafe
• toilets (hopefully disabled ones but usually those are locked here and those who are in a wheel chair have to try and contact someone to open the door).
• a weight loss section
• a flower garden
• bicycle
• milkman
• and any other random places that come to mind.

I am enjoying this project but I haven't even had the chance to sit down and start any of the projects I had hope to do. This time of year is usually exhausting and long at work.

I hope that you are enjoying viewing these envelopes and postcards so far. Have any of you found them inspiring enough to try something out on your snail mail envelopes?

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?
