Yes, that’s right, journal pages!!! It’s been a while, huh?!
You may remember this first one from my header back in June. I was going to post about it then, but was afraid I couldn’t show it without giving away I was pregnant. I was so excited I wanted to shout it from the rooftops!
Jump for Joy
I also just realised I never showed this, which I made way back in April. I’m not happy with it. As you can see, I had a bit of a problem with the glue stick and let’s not even mention that fur ball of a thing on her head, but love the sentiment of the page itself. May go back to it someday to see if I can straighten it out somewhat.
Embrace the feminine
The next two were made more recently. They are very simple, understated even, and perfectly fit where I am in my life right now. I’ve been on a simplifying journey for many years, but it has accelerated greatly since I found out I was pregnant again. And now, after having had to clear out the guestroom so we could camp out in there while we’re doing up the master bedroom, simplifying has become a necessity.

Concrete Jungle
Concrete Jungle is based on the sweetest conversation I had with Aoife towards the end of summer:
Aoife: Mummy, where daddy works?
Me: In London.
Aoife: One day daddy take me to work in London?
Me: Sorry honey, daddy’s work is too dangerous for little girls. (He’s in construction)
Aoife: Why? Are there tigers there?
You gotta love the mind of a three year old!
oh that’s so funny about the tigers. lol
the big furball makes me see her as a Russian girl. 😀
i haven’t journaled in a while, so exhausted.
Great journal pages. I love the backgrounds on them, very nice! Love the tiger comment from your daughter. hee hee : )

I love the way their little minds work. I like your journal pages..such vibrant use of colour and a great reason to celebrate. Must work on my sad neglected journal!
Kids have the greatest little minds! I love how they work. And I love your journal pages. I think they all look good….even the woman with a fur ball on her head!
these pages really sing to me … i am totally inspired to go home and work in my journal after seeing these. i especially love the tiger (i was born in the year of the tiger – roar!)
so vibrant and alive. yes, you are definitely moving through something BIG 🙂
