Can you believe that we've been journaling together for 10 months now? Isn't it awesome how we get to relive all the little joys we documented along the way by taking a peek at our pages? Yeah, that's pretty powerful stuff.

THIS WEEK IN MY GRATITUDE JOURNALS 
Micro Happy Planner
So, I did a thing. I used a 40% off coupon and bought myself one of those cute Happy Planners in the Micro size. Which led to me trying my hand at making some pages that would match, which you can find here, and adding them to my planner journal.

And then one of my Creative Team members, Lea, shared that she had the Mermaid themed Micro Happy Planner so we worked on this planner page slash journal card set together.

And then I gave the pages a test run myself and used the purple number 1 from this printable when I realized it coordinated so perfectly. After beginning to write my entry, I realized I could only squeak out just enough ink from my dried up gold gel pen to write the word Grateful and then switched to another pen.

Flagship Gratitude Journal
The "original" Gratitude Journal is and always will be my go-to journal. 

After reinforcing the edge of my message slip with some washi tape, it was a bit wrinkly after having handled my journal regularly since January, I relied on a different washi tape as my journal prompt.

Do you do that?

And because my junk journaling heart just couldn't throw away an awesome tag with great graphics, I incorporated it into my journal using vellum strips for my thankful thoughts.

Falling leaves and expanding waistlines...that's a huge part of what November is all about for me. Hey, a girl has to taste test all the holiday goodies, right?

Plus, two of three of our children celebrate birthdays in November, so there's even more sweet treats to taste test. Zach and Victoria were born 13 years and 8 days apart and will be 28 and 14.

I hope you enjoy journaling about what you're looking forward to in November.

Through The Eyes of Gratitude

#gratitude #quote #quotes #good words #inspiration #gratitude quote #inspiration #motivational #mindset

I want always to see the world as magical and amazing, don't you?

For the last several years, I have curated the Sunday Photos series, featuring one my photographs  along with a quote or some inspiring words that touched my heart. I'll still be sharing words that speak to me in this space each week, just in a new format.

See you next week with another The Sunday Quote!

Boho Berry Challenge Roundup

#Boho Berry #lists #list challenge #mini book #junk journal #journaling #affirmations

In September, I was a journaling madwoman. I had three different listing challenges I was inspired to participate in: 30 Days of Lists, 30 Days of Bible Lettering and this one from Boho Berry which I'll finish sharing with you today.

THE SEPTEMBER BOHO BERRY CHALLENGE

Knowing that I was going to be doing several listing challenges in one month, for this journal I decided to keep it simple and *almost* unembellished. At least for me. 

SUPPLIES USED
1/2" Paper Strips Cut From Scraps

BOHO BERRY CHALLENGE LISTS

Family Traditions
I could write a book about our family traditions, but here are three that quickly came to mind.

Advice to Young Me
I cannot stress enough the advice of trusting your gut. That is one piece of advice I will definitely pass along to my girls and continue to believe in today.

I'm Really Good At  |  How I Feel Today
More word strips on the left and an acrylic paint blob on the right to hold my journaling...and still holding strong with the label stickers for my journal prompts.

My Idea Of A Perfect Day
I try to make every day have a little bit of perfect in it, because we all know not every day can be sunshine and flowers.

Lessons Learned
Just when you think you've heard it all, you hear your kids using your logic or insight or explanation in conversation with another person. A person not in your family. Then, you realize, that kids really do hear and listen to what you are saying and you are so thankful that they chose something you said that was worth repeating. Yeah, you know what I mean there, right?!?

10 Years From Now
...I might have to admit I'm old.

I Feel Happy When
The more days I spend on this Earth, the more I am thankful for my generally upbeat, positive frame of mind. There are way too many people who deal with anxiety, depression and low self esteem.

My Life Motto
We may wonder why, we will question, we won't understand. But God has a master plan and we just have to trust in his timing.

Earliest Memory
I adore my memories of time spent in Germany with my grandparents, aunt and uncle and my cousins.

This Week In My Gratitude Journal

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

Some weeks, my heart is just so full I think it's going to burst. 

THIS WEEK IN MY GRATITUDE JOURNAL

Finishing Up September
I colored in random squares of the graph paper page with my bright, sunny yellow marker and then journaled around them. 

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

I had taken the girls to town to do some clothes shopping. I didn't love everything they tried on and they ended up getting two items that weren't my favorite. They were appropriate, sure, they were stylish for their age, yes, but just not items I was crazy about.

But I had to let that go and allow them to make decisions, choose their own clothes that expresses their style. And then, after all that they did a fashion show for their DaDa and I ended up loving what they pick out after all.

See crazy Mom, you should trust your girls. They've got this.

It shouldn't be hard to have Date Night with your husband, but somehow we just always end up including the girls in our plans. But that changed last Friday when, on a whim, we decided to have Date Day and head into town after e dropped off the girls at school.

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

And it was good. So good. Just us.

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

Surprisingly, after all this time, I still seem to learn new things about my Sweetie.

Heading Into October
Everyone loves an art project, right? Well, I do . I'm always playing around with things I know nothing about. I have seen people using bubble wrap in their art journaling and I had a go at it.

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

I pulled out the watercolors and just added colors in different spots onto the bubble wrap and then smooshed it lightly onto my kraft paper bag.

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

I journaled my thankful thought and tucked it inside the pocket formed when I folded over the kraft bag. It's kind of my thing, you know, adding folded kraft bags to my mini books. I'm not tired of it yet, so they continue to make an appearance.

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

I remain in awe of my two girls. They don't give up, they keep on trying and they are rewarded with their hard work. Victoria has tried out for the middle school basketball team for the past two years. And for the past two years, she wasn't chosen to be on the team.

But this year it's different baby! She's a member of the Varsity Girls Basketball Team. Go Mustangs!

#gratitude journal #gratitude #journaling #journaling cards #positivity #journal #notebook #thankful #grateful

This page is the inside of the kraft paper bag. I used one of the yellow watercolor tags and turned it upside down, added a strip of washi tape and punched some mini stars out of gold paper to trim the right edge.

Hello October In My Travelers Notebook

#Hello October #October #Pumpkins #journaling card #free #printable #Fall #Autumn

Have you had a chance to play with your Hello October journal card yet? Oh my, I hope you have enjoyed the coloring page theme this month as much has I have. I'm using my A6 Travelers Notebook as I have been all year.

#Hello October #October #Pumpkins #journaling card #free #printable #Fall #Autumn

I pulled out my set of watercolor pencils which were the perfect solution for these teeny tiny pumpkins. The sharp pints really let me get detailed with the colors and some shading and definition. I smooshed a few more color spots around my pages, hand doodle a scalloped frame around the 3x4 card and crudely cut around the doodles. 

And then I added our Fall Bucket List. I have to say, there is something to be said for continuity and traditions and the sameness from year to year. I find it comforting.
