Welcome to T stands for Tuesday…grab a your favorite cup and stay a while.
This summer I’ve been tackling projects and items long overdue on the to-do list. I’m drowning in half finished goals. It’s really beginning to drive me a bit crazy. I start my morning or my 3am bout of insomnia with thoughts of how my day is going to go and then BAM…I get hit with a curve ball or worse yet, am distracted and start another project. I haven’t even finished a pot of coffee lately, which is totally out of character for me. (Ah ha…just there….see how I worked in a beverage reference) :)
But seriously, the frustration with myself is mounting. Every “not used daily” surface has something in progress all over it and that’s not even mentioning the outdoors. I think I have too many ideas and unfortunately have enough stuff around to get started but either run out of steam, ideas or gumption to continue. I even totally blew up my blog over the weekend and am still working on fixing it. UGH! The blog backup I used definitely didn’t work the way I thought it did….I could not recover what I lost.
I am feeling a bit of accomplishment with both a personal project and a household one.
I completed the cover on my heART journal just yesterday.
Here are the inside pages. The earliest page was from Feb 2014. Good grief…talk about taking a long time to to 6 pages.
Mini-me and I did get her room painted. Here’s an old before and the after side by side.
What a difference. She’s had the green and stamped flowers since we moved in 13 years ago. It had just been painted so we just left it as is. Definitely time for a change.
We’re slowly going to be replacing the accessories such as the fabric bins in the cubbies. Mini-me had yet to decide what color she wants for her accent color.
It’s definitely more sophisticated already. Agh…my baby is growing up!
So today…I’m going to try my best to finish a thing or two I’ve started. Wish me luck!
What are you doing today?
The journal pages are great, main thing is that you got it done, not how long it took. Good luck with the renovations, have fun. I’m being lazy today and reading – divine! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
PS the link from TSFT was not working….
See…you DID finish some stuff! I’d say getting a room painted was a really great accomplishment…and your journal is stunning! You got it right… ‘life is chaotic but that makes it interesting’…oh yes, you can say that again. As for stuff on every surface, that sounds very familiar…me too. I have people coming to stay next weekend so I’d better start clearing a path!! lol. happy T day…hugs from Ohio!
Love the cover of your heart journal and the pages inside too of course.
Things have a way of happening when they are meant to.
Looks like you are being creative in lots of directions.
Personally I feel like empty counters are boring and do not reflect my style at all.
Don’t worry… be happy and hope you get some sleep too. That would really slow me down come afternoon time.
Happy T Day Halle oxo
I thought my computer had frozen up again (which it does quite often) so I rebooted because Firefox couldn’t find your blog. After I rebooted it still couldn’t find you. So I just typed your URL in and got you. Of course, now I had to reenter all my info (GRR).
I got a pang of sadness when I saw Gracie, but it WAS a great photo of her. Yes, the room is already more sophisticated.
WoW, I had no idea there were only six spreads in that book. But you chose wisely when you did work in it, and the cover is equally unique.
Thanks for sharing your coffee reference (GRIN) and your altered book cover and Mini-me’s new room with us for T this Tuesday.
i love the shape of your Journal and what you did in it! you are not the only one – i think i have altered books here unfinished for 15 years… time will come (or not…).
the re-do of the room turned out so fresh, i really like it!
happy t-day!
That heart Journal turned out SUPER!
You have done .. that is the important thing…
we have all unfinished work everywhere I guess.. at least I have …lol!
Good luck with the renovation!
Happy T-Day Halle!
Sounds like your ever going thoughts about having so much to do needs a good rest-so you can rest too. Sometimes we just put too much pressure on ourselves. Love the new look of your daughter’s room. Fab heart book pages too! (I must admit I have several books I worked on some years ago – but never finished)
Good luck with getting some rest and with all your renovations, and happy T day!
That room is gorgeous! Yes, sophisticated is the word. Beautiful!
Happy T-Day,
Blessings,
Lisca
Your heart shaped journal looks amazing, I sure most of us have work in progress, we all get there in the end.
Happy Tuesday.

Your HeART journal is such a great idea, the cover and pages are wonderful! You’ve accomplished so much already completing both your personal project and household project. I’m sure you’ll get all those half finished goals completed soon, wishing you a Happy T-Day :-)
GREAT JOURNAL COVER!!!! Love the new room color too. It is sad when they start to grow up on us. I can totally relate to disorganization and not being able to complete started project. I have the same issues constantly :0( something I need to work on too !
I’m late getting around to my T friends but was delighted to see your Heart Journal. I also enjoyed the before/after of the room. I’m really in the home decorating mood at the moment and it is interesting to see what others are doing.
