Recent Sketches

I did some drawings of my favorite snacks which was really fun and on the right page is a book by Hannah Hinchman on journaling called A trail through leaves.

and some bright pink geraniums blooming on the patio right now...

I'm working in a new journal, it's a square 6"x6" size that I really like and will probably stay with for awhile. There is something about the square shape that really works for me, but every once in awhile I try something different just to see how it works.

Journal page

On this journal page I clipped words from a page in a magazine, a list of delights:

• keeping a journal
• along the garden path
• stay cozy: we have soup, flowers,books and more
• shops
• Victoria magazine
• Maine

I love finding words in books and magazines to add to my journal pages, sometimes they're better at describing how I feel than writing my own words, but I like to include both.

Lately...

I've been adding ideas and projects to my daily notebook

 making some doodled project life cards

 starting to embroider the edge of my pillow case

and doing some gardening on the patio.

My Daybook

This is my daybook that I put together inspired by Leslie at Wisteria and Sunshine and The Bower I really love her peaceful style. So this is my daybook with a handrawn calender section and then pages for lists like favorite books, inspiration and  things to do. I also add little pictures and clippings from magazines.

I have  five sections: planner, garden, self, art and home.

Its a lot of fun to put together and I hope to keep adding to it...
