Hey Crafters!
Are you participating in NaNoJouMo this year?
Since 2013, I have watched Dianne (PackerDi on Youtube) participate in NaNoJouMo (National
Nonstop Journaling Month) every November. Her videos always inspire and this
year, I decided to take the plunge and join in!
To learn all about what NaNoJouMo is and
how to participate, you can check out Dawn Sokol's website here.
As many of you know, I am extremely busy.
(Aren’t we all?! Haha.) I have two jobs, I go to school full-time and I try to
keep up with duties at home. However, art journaling makes me happy so I do my
best to squeeze it in. It is almost a necessity to keep my sanity. With
everything going on, it seems crazy to take on a commitment to art journal
every day. But as Dawn says, you don’t have to complete a page every day. The
goal is to just get in your journal every day and do a little bit. That being
said, I would love to complete a page daily so that is what I am going to try
to do.
Since I’m trying to complete a whole page
daily I am going to try to keep them extremely simple. I have a hard time doing
‘simple’, but it has been working so far.
This page took me about half hour to
complete. To find the time to art journal, I have been getting up 2 hours early
for work. Here’s where you will think I am bat-sh*t crazy… that means I get up
at 3:30 AM. Ha! But, it really sets my tone for the day. It puts me in a good
mood and makes me happy.
Now, about this page;
This page started out with a background idea I saw in this video by DeeDee Catron. I just love teal and brown.
The prompt is; “Hello, My Name Is..” so I
added this quote I found on Pinterest. It’s sad, but beautiful and I love it.
“I am not a graceful person.
I am not a Sunday morning or a Friday
sunset.
I am a Tuesday 2am,
I am gunshots muffled by a few city
blocks.
I am a broken window in February.
I sometimes believe that I don’t belong around
people,
That I belong to all the leap days that didn’t
happen.
The way light and darkness mix under my
skin has become a storm,
You don’t see the lightning,
But you hear the echos.”
