Hello friends! It's been a while since I've doodled in my journal...but these are pages that have been done for a little bit. I'm very happy with my system of "jazzing up" several pages in one sitting...then I have pages ready for me to write on during those times that are too crazy for much play time. Because, heaven forbid that I have to write on a BLANK WHITE PAGE! Perish the thought! Ha! Well, here's another peek into my journal....
I love saving little notes and adding them in as extra pages....little surprises here and there. On the left, is a magazine clipping reminding me about the book, "Embellish Your Home." Have you checked this book out? I thought it sounded interesting, and the cover is so lovely!!
And I don't remember what prompted me to write "It Will Be Good." Perhaps feeling anxious? Dunno.
More doodles....and the woman holding birds is a tag off of a ceramic piece I bought. I just love her.
I found this quote in a magazine too....just had to add it!!!
And there are some pages that are awaiting some color......
Okay, so this next page was literally scribbled down, so I would not forget my favorite part of a recent neighborhood get together we had. If I haven't already told you, we are BLESSED with a fabulous, fun group of neighbors!!! I mean, we are talking vibrant, happy, active people. Some of them young, some of them old....and we all get along and really enjoy each other. And we have some kick a$$ parties together. The last party we had, someone lugged over their electronic keyboard, which Karl started playing, and we all began belting out various songs...and this was the one I wanted to remember, because we were add libbing and it was hysterical. Not sure exactly what I'll do with this one yet...we'll see.
And this is part of a card that Auntie Susie sent me.....a great quote from Ben Franklin. Can you read it? It says, "The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself."
Have a lovely tax day!!!

I know what you mean about writing on blank pages - it feels odder and odder to me. Thanks for a peek at your journal!
I work in my journal the same way!!! I make the pages, and save the writing for last...then I never know what to say! :/
I love the idea of saving little notes to add in! I have a million Post-it's that get thrown away that would probably jazz up some of my pages! Thanks for sharing!
I'm having a giveaway over at my blog if you'd like to come check it out!!! Have a great weekend!

Lovely playfulness on your pages. Love the gentleness-quote too!
beautiful pages! and i LOVE that quote by Ben Franklin. Seems we have a similar "happy" outlook on life! so happy to have connected with you through the swap!
Your journal pages are fantastic, I know what you mean about blank white pages-they are intimidating. I love how you put clips of magazine images in your pages and the quotes are great.
The colors are great on these pages! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, so many lovely details that inspire me. Love the black scallop border and how you added the magazine quote and *super love* that quote about the USS constitution. I hope you don't mind if I add those quotes to my journal? :)
Oh and that doodle page that is waiting to be colored? LOVE! I wish I could print it out and color it with my daughter :)
I LOVE the journal! Your pages are vibrant and so interesting. Journaling is my weakest spot...I don't know why I can't seem to just jump in! Thanks for visiting my blog and for the friend request. Maybe next year you will come to Artfest!!
