I'm simply calling this "Untitled"

As of lately I've completely neglected photography. I don't even want to think about how long it's been since I've picked up a camera and snapped a picture (especially one that is worth looking at). In between working, writing bible lessons, cleaning and making sure Mowgli is behaving himself, it seems that it has been lost in the chaos. Not to mention it being a bit cold out (though not as cold as it should be).

I know this is just part of the winter season, but I would very much like to get that creative feeling that comes with the changing of the seasons already.

Despite all the craziness, I have been able to make a few Valentine cards here and there, but I really have to step up my game as far as that goes. I have so many more to make and less than two weeks to finish, yikes! I've been baking a bit more than normal. I discovered a wonder microwave cake-in-mug recipe that I'll have to share and I actually made a cake from scratch that was edible and quite delicious.

Oh, and since Spring isn't too far away (at least down in the southern part of the States where I reside) I'll have to come up with a good excuse to have a garden party and make lavender lemonade. Does one even need an excuse to throw a party? Perhaps not. I think throwing a party simple because of Spring is excuse enough.

I suppose that's enough rambling for the day.

Until next time,
Erin

Christmas Craftiness 2011

I wanted to wait until after Christmas to post what I've made/purchased for the amazing people in my life. I just love the gift tags made from tag rims and scrapbook paper. I used stick on letters for some of the names and I hand wrote the others. Then, I "laminated" them with packaging tape. All the gentlemen in my family are extremely gifted. They either draw or write and they all have creative tendencies (I guess it's in the genes!). I put together mini sketchbooks for them so they can be creative while they are out and about. I used those ever so handy rub-on letters to spell out the words: idea, draw, notes, sketch, and create on the covers (which is just painted cardboard). For the ladies, I assembled these adorable button brooches and hairpins. Cute! As far as bought gifts go, I went the Fair Trade route. I wanted to give gifts that were either hand made or impacted the rest of the world in some way. I stumbled upon STOP Start Cam...

December 2020 Bullet Journal Spreads

Image
Hello December! I don't know about you, but I'm excited to start the last month of 2020. It's been a tough year for everyone and we've finally made it. I don't typically get super into Christmas, but after how hard the past 10 months have been I've decided to make the little things count. I've decked the halls and hung the stockings. Doing anything I can to make it a season full of sweet memories! With that mindset, I decided to make a scrapbook style bullet journal theme. I'd never done a theme using scrap paper before so this was quite a different experience. Without further ado... Overall, this was a fun theme to make and I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I especially love the "Christmas Memories" page to record special moments with the ones I love. I'll be posting a 2021 Bullet Journal set up soon. I'm so excited to show off my new notebook! Be on the look out for that in the next few weeks.

Bullet Journaling

Image
 I've always kept a journal since I was in middle school. I found out quite early in life that my words tend to flow easier through writing than through speech. My jumbled thoughts tend to spill out onto a page if I can edit them a little. My journals were full of personal thoughts, song lyrics I related to, doodles and lists. Lots and lots of lists.  Three years ago while browsing Pinterest for journal prompts, I learned about bullet journal method. A style of journaling that combined life planning, lists, and even quotes and doodles. One notebook that could collect all the things that I need to organize my tasks, events, and thoughts? It seemed like a dream.  I tried it out and have never turned back. Even though I've using this method of journaling for several years, I've just recently started to share my methods on an Instagram account I've titled  Bujo_Fiend .  On this blog, I want to include my bullet journal - the layouts and methods of creating them. I'm...
