the gratitude journal
January 4, 2012 By 13 Comments
When I decided on “gratitude” as my word of the year, I realised I also needed a gratitude journal. But none of of the journals I found in the shops or online felt quite right. I wanted one that had enough pages for the whole year, and that I could easily add bits to without […]
Have a sweet Christmas lollipop card
December 12, 2011 By 9 Comments
So a couple of weeks ago I asked my more experienced school mum friends on Facebook if they tip the lollipop lady/man (school crossing guard) at Christmas. They didn’t really know, most drive to school, but a relative joked I should give him/ her a card and a lollipop. That’s when I remembered this lollipop card. We don’t really do […]
What Lies Beneath- art journal doodles
October 26, 2011 By 3 Comments
What Lies Beneath It’s funny. I had been thinking about making a doodle cut out for another page in my journal, but my ideas just wouldn’t come together. The ideas were sound, but didn’t suit the journal page I was working on. So I started doodling overlapping circles for fun on a scrap piece of paper […]
3 art journal pages from my week
October 20, 2011 By 5 Comments
I didn’t think I was going to have any art journal pages to show you this week, but suddenly found myself with some spare time this afternoon to finish off these ones (ta Kirby!). Little Madam Gratitude Prayer I’m exhausted at the moment, and more than a little grouchy. As a result this poor man of mine […]

October 13, 2011 By 2 Comments
Sorry, a little late, but here we go… Crash Bang Wallop art journal page This page was a bit of an experimental for me as I tried out ink sprays and ink sprays with mica for the first time (Dylusions). Not knowing how the ink sprays would react with the other materials, I decided to […]
Tooth fairy art journal
October 5, 2011 By 10 Comments
Dear Tooth Fairy What can I say? As much as I love the chance for extra cuddles, this teething malarkey is getting a bit exhausting. Especially at 4 am when I know I’ve got to get up at 6. Yawn! Will they get a move on already! I found the image of the fairy here […]
365 calendar challenge: I’m back!
October 3, 2011 By 26 Comments
Yeah okay, I know it’s not really a 365 calendar challenge if you take several months off halfway through, but life happens. I’m sure Kate doesn’t mind. I’ve got a baby. And sometimes babies trump art! The main thing is, I’m back and rearing to go! Because this is the best kind of journaling with […]
First day- a week in my art journal
September 28, 2011 By 5 Comments
Show and tell time again! I haven’t done much art journaling the last couple of weeks because there has been so much going on with Kirby teething (still) and Aoife starting school. I think I have about 5 pages near completion, but only one to show today… first day This page is chock full of […]

September 16, 2011 By 7 Comments
It’s been a crazy week around here. Kirby had 3 new teeth. I didn’t think I’d be blogging today today, but saw a late opportunity and took it. I’ll show you the 3 art journal pages I’ve made over the last week. Yes, I have managed to squeeze in some art journaling (5 minutes here, 5 […]
