The Beauty of Becoming

We Still Hope
We believe, we work, we pray about our situation and our goals, but somehow, we still sometimes place our eggs into the "hope" basket. In this great big world, some days hope is what gets me through even after all my believing and working and praying. And I'm okay with that.
I’ve revamped my weekly quote series to focus on a different theme each month and February’s theme is HOPE. Visit with me every week for more inspiration and motivation for The Sunday Quote.

My Favorite Things Journal
We all have favorites, but have we ever stopped to document them all in a journal? I thought that it would be fun to have a journal dedicated to all my favorites.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITES, JOURNALED
Pastime
The ribbon, vellum paper and book page strip were all in my scraps bin - I’m not a hoarder if I actually use the scraps, right?
Reading will always be at the top of my list of all time favorite pastimes.
I popped my punched journal prompt on top of the paper cluster I made out of the ribbon and book page paper strip.
I didn’t even have to think twice! It never fails to bring a smile to my face and makes me reminisce of simpler days gone by. Aaaaah, big hair, guitar riffs and ballads. Does it get any better? Even the girls ask to listen to 80s on 8 on in the car.
To make my number 8 pop off the page, and I didn't want to get up off the couch and get my foam dots, I used repeating strips of cardstock strips glued together on the back side of my number.
I couldn't list just one, and could have listed more, because how do you have just one favorite?
I used a gold accented die cut, pink glitter page flag and kraft paper sticker [all from the embellishment kit] and one of the printable journal prompts from the My Favorite Things set. I also crumpled a glassine bag and used it for more texture, placing it under my die cut.

Junk Journal January | Days 16 - 20
Participating in the Junk Journal January challenge over on Instagram has been a great project to begin my 2020 creative playtime with. I've tried to step outside of my normal clean-cut journaling style and ventured more into some modeling paste, gesso, adding true "junk" to my journals and being open to a more busy look to my pages. I've always adored adding layers and texture to my work, so that hasn't changed, but I've upped the layers quite a bit on some of these page spreads.
Mixed Paper Journals + Printable Tags are on sale for 20% off through Saturday here.
I love how this challenge prompts are bringing up stories I can tell.
JUNK JOURNAL JANUARY
Day 16 | Life LessonsI journaled around the punchesd border on my page and then embellished with some DIY book page washi tape I made a while back. Just stick your tape onto a book page and lift. Voila!
I’ve always been a fan of repurposing and upcycling and usually include one vintage book page and library check our card in each of the mini books I create. How about you, do you love the feel of vintage, yellowed book pages,too?
I am so ready for spring!
A little modeling paste, book page hexagon die cuts and a paper scrap for my journaling spot. I’m squeezing in some self care and me time today working in all my journals and doing some devotionals I’m behind on. Find a pack of pink shipping tags here.
I made a promise to myself when my first child was born that I would get up and get ready and not lounge all day in sweats - this was before leggings were even a thing - and I have pretty much kept they promise to myself. I feel more “me” when I feel good about myself and can face the world with a can-do attitude.

Learning How To Sail My Ship
No matter our age, we are always learning, always navigating the storms in our paths. That's okay. Learning something new every day is a life goal to never outgrow.
