Did you have a wonderful christmas?

Because I sure did! It seemed to absolutely race by this year but I think thats just a sign of my age! 

Home made christmas pudding decorations on a super festive tree all surrounded by brown paper packages. 

Rustic mantle topped with the obligatory swathe of candles followed by mountains of food and drink. 

And to top it all off an amazing family that helped me turn Boxing day into a Potter fest full of laughter, silliness, dressing up and yes you guessed it more food.

I hope your christmas was as blessed as mine!  

All about Journaling

I have never considered myself the type of person to keep a journal but 29th December 2012 I decided that I was going to give it a good old adult sized try! And much to my amazement I have managed to sustain it so I thought it worth sharing. 

I have used a mixture of collages, bits from travels (tickets, pressed flowers ect), pictures (more like doodles) and words both the spew from my brain and quotes and lyrics! 

I partly accredit the success of this little 365 project to the lack of pressure I put on myself. First off I didn’t use a pretty notebook so I wouldn’t feel like my inside had to live up to an amazing outside! As it is I will be making a fabric slip cover for the end of the year to help preserve her for posterity!

Secondly I did this with no other purpose than to have a little weeny creative outlet at the end of each day so I could approach each blank page with no expectation. 

 

I know it’s not the end of the year yet but so far this project has been great fun, given me a crazy record of my year and I plan on doing it again next year.
