Dwell in Possibility

#possibilities #The Sunday Quote #good words #inspirational #positivity #mindset #self care #quote #quotes #peace #dwell in possibility

I know that I dwell in the world of possibilities. It's how I'm wired. Will it happen? Can I even do this? Is this a good decision? Will she get it? Can we handle it? Are we doing the right thing? Is this a good "risk?"

Yeah, all those what ifs in our heads are us dwelling the the possibility of what might be. And isn't that a good place to be? Granted, the possibilities we dream of and hope for are not always what happen, or what is even possible, but living in that place is so much better than dwelling in negativity and self-doubt.

I’ve revamped my weekly quote series to focus on a different theme each month and the  theme for April is CALMVisit with me every Sunday for more inspiration and motivation for The Sunday Quote.

I’ve revamped my weekly quote series to focus on a different theme each month and the  theme for April is CALM

When I planned out my themes earlier this year and then began searching for quotes that spoke to me, that sparked a feeling, I had no idea at all that our world was going to be where it is today. This quote spoke to me personally for a "how something happened" scenario I've been trying to come to terms with for years and if you also need this reminder as well, here you go. 

We have to let it go. And I have. Finally.

Visit with me every Sunday for more inspiration and motivation for The Sunday Quote.

30 Days of Lists | Let Me Introduce Mysel

#junk journal #list #lists #list journal #mini book #journal prompts #journaling #mixed media journal

As a rule, I don't include photos in my list journals. But today is different. I recently participated in Ali Edwards' Pieces of Us selfie challenge and came away with some great stories and a few good photos.

This is one of them.

And since 80% of the time, I don't like photos of myself because I usually have my eyes closed or look uber awkward, it was a total surprise to come away with this gem. When I look at it, I see peace and happiness and contentment. And I hope the rest of the world sees that in me, too.

INSIDE MY JOURNAL
Day 1 | Let Me Introduce Myself
I knew that I was going to include a photo of myself here but didn't want to cover up all of the lovely florals and gold foil accents which made me decide to trim down my photo. 

#junk journal #list #lists #list journal #mini book #journal prompts #journaling #mixed media journal
#junk journal #list #lists #list journal #mini book #journal prompts #journaling #mixed media journal

I used a book page scrap which had been stamped on, because reading is such a big part of who I am, and then scattered some pink sequins around the photo and decided to add a touch of gold glitter washi tape to reinforce the glittery gold theme.

It was quite by accident that my sweater had a pink word phrase on it, but a happy accident I must say.

#junk journal #list #lists #list journal #mini book #journal prompts #journaling #mixed media journal

I also used a book page scrap as a journal prompt holder that I tucked under my photo on the left side. The "list nerd" die cut is part of the free printable I designed for the March challenge and once you register you can access the download on the private 30 Lists blog.

MY HIDDEN JOURNALING
A technique I use now and again is to hide my journaling. Sometimes it's because it's kind of heartfelt and personal and private. But not today. Today, I used a glassine bag and pink shipping tag to journal on only because my page was already full.

I also used the "one" tag from this printable number tag set.

#junk journal #list #lists #list journal #mini book #journal prompts #journaling #mixed media journal

I repeated the book paper scrap and the leftover scrap of neon pink that I used on the floral page with my photo. See, I told you I was a scrap hoarder.

The Light Is Shining Within You

#hope #quote #inspiration #shiining light #good words #movitivational #inspirational #quotes #The Sunday Quote #motiviation

I’ve revamped my weekly quote series to focus on a different theme each month and the  theme for March is LISTEN

It is so suprising to me that the qualities that I see in others are what I hope to be, to aspire to...and then someone shares with me some encouraging words of how I have helped them or inspired them by my actions.

Wow. Sometimes we just have to listen.

So, I'm going to leave that with you. I'm going to urge you, and me, to remember that we, too, are a shining light for somoene even if we don't know it.

My Favorite Things Junk Journal

#junk journal #smashbook #journal #junk journaling #journal #journaling #journal addict #I Love It All

The fun I am having with the documentation of a few of my favorite things in a mixed paper journal has been the best answer to these February blahs. It has been exciting for me to pop a journal prompt on a page and play with my paper scraps and all those bits and baubles of kits I have in the shop but never make the time to play with myself.

Well, not any more. I'm using "the good stuff" because I'm worth it.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITES, JOURNALED
You can catch up with all my favorites journaled by following this hashtag: #myfavoritethingsjunkjournal on Instagram. I go into detail each day on why I used what I used and how I hacked it to make it work on my page.

I've participated in so many challenges, each time learning something new about myself, that I've lost count.


A FEW JOURNALS TO GET YOU STARTED
I'm a fan of lists, of mini books and telling my right now story. That's a phrase I coined way back when Kam sent out a survey asking participants what 30 Lists meant to them.

Find all the Mixed Paper Journals in the shop to choose your favorite, but here are just a few of them:

All of these mini book journals come with fun, colorful embellishment kits to help jumpstart your creative mojo.

IF YOU'RE MORE OF A TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK FAN
I have listed several times in plain paper notebooks and enjoyed it just as much. There's a different mindset going into a journal where there are no limits or patterns or preconceived ideas.

Here are a two notebook sets, I'll be adding a few more this week that will include embellishment kits, too.
