    Roll with it

    I discovered that using cardboard chunks as pages in my new journal has opened up a freedom in creativity that I hadn’t realized I was stifling.

    I think perhaps it is due to the fact that if I totally stink it  or wreck the page in some way…I can easily be trashed without ripping out pages. IMG_0113

    Take this page for example.  Is it my best most fantastic work? Nope. but I worked in a very intuitive way. Just letting it flow onto the page. Whatever struck my mood at the time. Refreshing my mind. IMG_0115

    Good thing I have a big mug of tea!T Tuesday new journal edition

    Since I recently finished a journal I decided it was time to start a loose leaf journal. This is something I’ve wanted to do for some time but it always got put on the back burner.T Tuesday new journal edition

    I bought this small 3 -ring binder at Target from the clearance rack sometime last year. I loved the orange and polka dots.

    I had added some old tip-ins…extras from long ago swaps. And there it sat…unloved…unused…until yesterday.T Tuesday new journal edition

    I grabbed a chunk of cereal box and created the first page of my polka dot journal.T Tuesday new journal edition

    I just love the words of wisdom from Yogi tea!

    I’m off to run errands in the cold. I’ll be bringing a big travel mug of tea to help keep me warm. When I return I’ll be visiting the T stands for Tuesday blogs hosted by Elizabeth.
