This bit from today's journal page is making me happy:
The doodly lines remind of a string of wonky holiday lights and the notion of a fabric of ideas has me all dreamy and thinking about how our ideas shape us (and others) and how we can affect the trajectory of our lives with good ideas . . . or bad ideas or revolutionary ideas. Or something along those lines.
There's also some space to think about stuff -- the stuff you take with you, the stuff that has personal meaning, the stuff that you'd hate to lose . . .
The full, bubbly page looks like this:
You can find it in all its usual forms here (border-free) and here (bordered, but not coloured) and here (bordered and coloured.)
This is where I should end this post, but I feel like it's not finished yet, so I'm just going to blather on for another paragraph or so.
I've been thinking about adding a bit of structure to this blog. Maybe a regular posting schedule (if my real life schedule will allow . . . ) Just thinking via keyboard here, but if all goes well, I'll post a new page every Wednesday and start a new Friday feature in a couple of weeks. It will involve periodic giveaways. In the giveaways I'm envisioning, everybody wins. Just like they do it on talk shows. The whole audience gets a car. Except I can't give away cars. But what I can give away is a pdf of a new journal page made especially for the giveaway that I won't post on the site and that won't be available anywhere else -- just something I'll email to everyone who enters. It'll be fun! Or something along those lines.
Happy Friday friends!

Your journal pages are amazing and given me lots of food for thought. Thank you so much for sharing them. You've made a difference in my life. Oh, and I think your plan for organizing your posts sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! These journaling pages are amazing!!! They are so thought provoking and get you to right things that will really be fun to read about in a few weeks... months... years... and just imagine how much our children and grandkids would love to read our thoughts and answers! I was wondering... I'm a beginning digital photoshop elements user. How do you creat these? What program and do you make your own elements???
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea, :) I'd love to get an "exclusive" journal page from you.
ReplyDeleteOh my!! I totally think FASTER than I type... sorry about all the typos in my last post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Senovia, Tashia, Annette, The Baroness and Charity!
ReplyDeleteThe Baroness -- Almost forgot to answer your question! I use Adobe Illustrator to create all of my pages. I also have a pen tablet, which I use to draw in the borders, frames and all those odd, squiggly lines that I can't get enough of. I still have a great deal to learn about how to make the most of Illustrator and the tablet, but I'm having a lot of fun along the way.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI emailed you, you emailed me, here is my post! I look forward to your journaling pages
