I've been sewing paper and pictures and putting them all together in an art journal that I have for sale in my etsy shop here ....

my planner....

I've just decided to organize and add little bits to my planner to make it fun to use, so this first one is in the self section and I have a list of flowers that I love and would want to plant I also have a tracker page in this section and a place to write gratitude...

This is the beginning where I keep sticky notes with a to do list and in the left pocket some bits of inspiration ....

 
This is a travelers notebook folder that I cut down and hole punched and it keeps loose bits of paper and pretty pictures cut from magazines...

 
this is the back of the folder with a pretty postcard and just a page of inspiration...

My book section with some books that I want to get around to reading...

This is a little cleaning schedule that I am still working on and a pretty picture, I just love adding in magazine images and making it fun to look through...

 
and than here is a notebook that I add in the back of the planner and it is like an inbox I just write everything in here, to do, notes, ideas, lists and then I can go through and add it to the correct places in my planner.

colored pencils are my new favorite medium

a commonplace book...

lately I have been putting together a commonplace book, a journal filled with pretty images and favorite quotes and bits of inspiration, different kinds of lettering have been really fun, so here are some of those pages.

I know I'm showing a lot of painting things lately and people are probably used to me showing journal pages which I will post again soon, but lately I've been doing  a lot of painting something that I have always loved for about 20 years now and am having fun adding to my Etsy shop. So here are my two latest ones that are garden roses and I have them in my shop here , if any one is interested in checking them out. Thanks so much and I will probably be back next time with some journal pages :)
