All the pumpkin spice is in the stores, coffee and food products which means the holiday seasons will be following quickly. I love this time of year when the weather isn't like a version of hell on earth and you can actually step outside with out being a ball of sweat.<br />
<br />
This past month has been super crazy with all of the weather related issues of Hurricane Harvey & Irma. My heart goes out to all the people that were in the path and are now working towards rebuilding their lives due to the hurricane. Seeing the photos and hearing the stories just breaks my heart into pieces.<br />

I wanting to include watercolors, collage and other art into it making it more of an art journal than a diary. I am using a Ranger Journal Dylusions Creative Journal. It has 48 pages so that is perfect for a monthly journal.<br />
<br />
Yes, I said monthly journal. I am liking the idea of have one journal per month to help celebrate the month and have the ability not to be limited by space or pages. Last month, I used a journal that limited my number of pages and I discovered it was the wrong way to go. I am thankful I went that direction but also thankful it was only a few weeks of using it. More like 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
I did start this month with a creative calendar outline in my journal:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used post it notes to block out the days and then watercolor over the entire page. I like how it turned out in the end. The spots where it tended to bleed into the square was not the watercolors but the post it note coloring. Glad I used a similar color :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is some art page I did with glossy paint experiment. I learned I didn't like the glossy paint. It felt like painting with Elmers glue. Not a fan. but I can mark it off my list of art materials to try. I am planning to find a quote to either write over it or use the lines to write it within the piece.</div>

I found it was time to dust off my blog and try to write again.<br />
Let's see if I can keep it rolling :)<br />
<br />
I have been spending most of my time on Instagram. It is so much easier. Just snap a photo and BAM your done with your post :)<br />
<br />
I have been doing some "Found" Art thanks to <a href="https://thefoundartwalk.com/" target="_blank">thefoundartwalk.com/</a> I have found inspiration while walking to work, to the car or just out walking. I love it! It make me think outside the box and use what I have and not worrying about buying new products to create art.<br />
<br />
Below are two of my creations from this inspiration:<br />

I got the tabs started and got the supplies gathered up. I have to go get the second set of the tabs. Didn't realize there were two sets.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am taking a free class in a couple weeks about Bible Journaling at a local bookstore. I am curious about what they have to say. I know the basics but not a formal class. I know they will want to sell me stuff but luckily I already have a good stock of supplies.<br />
<br />

Who out there is doing bible journaling? I admit at first it really bothered me coloring in a bible but then someone explained to me that it is a form of studying. If you go look I am sure you have more than one bible in your bookshelf. I plan to use this as a form of studying and reading. I am hoping that this will allow me to combine my love of Art and my love for the word.<br />
As always more to come....<br />

It has been a few moons since I have been on here. It took me almost 3 hours to figure out how to log back on, remember my passwords and which email I used for this system. Luckily, I have only had a few email addresses between 2009 & now so it wasn't too difficult.</span><br />

I believe that would be my ADHD kicking in. This week I did not really work on my scrapbook projects as planned instead I worked on my cross stitch.<br />
<br />
While reading blogs I found several I really like and wish to share with you.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I started yet another project....I know I was not going to start anything just finish what I had already started. Guess what? It didn't stick!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am taking another class over on <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes.php" target="_blank">big picture class</a> this class is called " <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/the-ties-that-bind.php" target="_blank">The Ties That Bind-Five Ways to Scrapbook Your Most Important Relationships</a></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidrpHW-1cYhQLD42DpO3z5HAftSzRulMvx_JXsmH60PN7HMPW8Y1xqwZntdwr4YQRWwMLDc40QxcHPYWjtqTLJa_hRLMER7QXOfnHS-zX5ANHy7N50dTGenh-9FDlLqUv4GsUB04q5VGmo/s1600/header.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidrpHW-1cYhQLD42DpO3z5HAftSzRulMvx_JXsmH60PN7HMPW8Y1xqwZntdwr4YQRWwMLDc40QxcHPYWjtqTLJa_hRLMER7QXOfnHS-zX5ANHy7N50dTGenh-9FDlLqUv4GsUB04q5VGmo/s400/header.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This class is a self paced class which is great since my schedule is so CR@ZY!! This class helps you take a deeper look into your relationships that are in your life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I think relationships I think about more than my family. I think about my pets, my church, and local craft businesses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The definition of relationships is the key element in this project.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I know I can do this!!! Right? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay tune to either see me accomplish this task or watch the train wreck!!</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some of the pages that I got to complete. I am so excited I actually got to work on some pages. I do like the size 6x6 compared to last years album that was 12x12.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now I just need to take some photos and print off some photos and this page will be complete. I work in a 50+ year old school building so I may need more than one page.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">February is here and I try to write my friends and families a card and have them post marked by a town with a valentine theme. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">All you have to do is complete your cards and address them. When addressing them make sure to leave plenty of room for the postmark. Add the needed postage to each card. Then in a larger envelope address it as Postmaster, Valentine Re-Mailing, City, State & Zip code.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also include a little thank you for the postman that is hand cancelling each card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My favorites are:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Loveland, CO 80538</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Valentine, TX 79854*</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Loving, NM 88256</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Romance, AR 72136</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">*The young kids get a chance to design the postmark. Each year it is different.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here are some examples from years past:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Where did January go? We are flying by already?!? I want this year to slow down I have too many projects to finish and yet I created a new one...Yes, I added a new project to my pile but this one is easy and only have to work with it once a month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me back up a bit... I recently got a new camera (<i>no surprise, I buy one every year it seems</i>) but this one is a <a href="http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/cameras/instax_mini_7s/" target="_blank">Fuji film instax mini 7s</a>. I have been selling items on ebay and saved up enough to buy one so it makes it even more special. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While playing with my new instant camera I realized how I started taking photos as a child. (<i>I saved green stamps to get my first camera!!</i>) I would take photos of the sunset. In honor of this memory and the fact that we are starting a new year made it even more appealing to start a new project. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am taking a photo on the same day (16th) of the sunset and adding it to this little book. The 16th does not have any real meaning it just was the day I thought of it :)</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The 2013 actually came from some junk mail that I got and loved the color and thought it would work well with the size of the project.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This camera takes small photos about 2x3 which will be great for project life pockets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I am still learning more about this instant camera as it has a close up lens you can buy and other decorative film. I just hope the film is easily available.</span></div>

<br />
I did alright in 2012 collecting all the items, taking photos & writing each day the problem was assembling the pages into the binder. It was difficult as I did not have a location where I could keep my album out with out it becoming a dog toy or cat napper mat.<br />
<br />
So for 2013 I plan to continue the style and concept of project life. I am only going to make it my own!!! After moving this past Spring and seeing the 12+ boxes of scrapbook stuff it made me realize that I have stuff not scrapbooks. It was hard but I made a promise to myself that I would use up everything I have before buying more.<br />
<br />
After digging into the boxes and finding several mini albums I realize how much fun I love doing mini albums...so the idea hit me for 2013 I will do a mini album!<br />
<br />
Why a mini album?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It is 6x6 so I can carry it with me</li>
<li>The pages are both card stock and plastic pockets. The pockets are made from misc other pages that were cut down to fit the size. </li>
<li>I can use up a great deal of stashed items in that size format</li>
<li>It will fit on the shelf easier</li>
<li>There is only 2 of us </li>
<li>Don't feel obligated to scrap everyday!!!</li>
</ul>
<br />
I know you are asking yourself "How will 365 days fit in a 6x6?"<br />
That is the best part, if and when I feel this album is full I can begin another mini album. It doesn't have to all fit into one book.<br />
<br />
Here is a peek at the beginnings of the 2013 album:<br />

<br /></div>
My next project during 2013 is to finish what you started! I have several classes over at <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/" target="_blank">big picture classes</a> that I was not able to finish for one reason or another so I am going to start over and finish them ALL!!!<br />
<br />
I also found myself looking at old scrapbook books and gathering new ideas. I loved how old some of these books were I do not know if you can even buy some of these anymore. The one I love most is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1929180926/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=" target="_blank">The Big Picture: Scrapbook Your Life</a>. The concept is the same just the material we maybe using is different.<br />
<br />
Lots of Inspiring going on this last day of 2012!<br />
<br />
I hope that 2013 brings lots of creativity & completion of unfinished projects!<br />
<br />
Let me know what your plans for 2013 will be....<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was able to get some progress done these past couple of days! I got my Gratitude journal set up and ready to start the final detailed journaling. Yes I know its a November project and its not November?!? Well it's ok I am OK with the fact that it is not on time as some people would say.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That is the best part of being creative it is all about <u>YOU </u>not anything or anyone else!!!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The cover feels like it still needs something more added to it. So I will wait until I feel what needs to be added later.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I used the free download on the 30 days from <a href="http://cathyzielske.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Cathy Zielske</a> blog. I printed them smaller so they would fit on the pages easier.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaHjHN56qbYINZf6FnlYTt_RF6FTN8jncjEpeiWk5K04wLXmB0OWdzYYLHbyFBmdn6Zfs4ppP9mbxYTzYSCW0VCSNABbZv9OMdMaTX-E1zFIo8S1IVsKr3PMNhWRA3b9RN5zlQlHwf0Xhs/s1600/PC130141.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaHjHN56qbYINZf6FnlYTt_RF6FTN8jncjEpeiWk5K04wLXmB0OWdzYYLHbyFBmdn6Zfs4ppP9mbxYTzYSCW0VCSNABbZv9OMdMaTX-E1zFIo8S1IVsKr3PMNhWRA3b9RN5zlQlHwf0Xhs/s320/PC130141.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I then used my facebook account to help write each day something I was thankful for then I printed out the pages. If there were comments I added them to the pages.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also if there were photos they were added as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As you can see there is some pages blank. This is where I plan to go back and journal my feeling about why I am thankful for it. I felt that part was more personal and will make it special in the coming years.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am so excited to be getting things marked off my list! I got the journal when I signed up for the class. As you can see all the tabs sticking out. I plan to use this for more ideas from other classes. I love how it is organized.</span></div>
