I got to thinking about 2011 and my general opinion was...
just what the hell did I do all year?! LOL
So in an effort to make sense of what happens around here...
and believe me it is not going to be earth shattering stuff, some days it's challenging enough just to get by and I can foresee some of my entries will be along the lines of got up, went to work, fell asleep on settee!
But then again it could go something like got up, met RA, dot, dot, dot!!!! HOL
(In my dreams.......sigh)
...I'm taking the plunge and joining in with the fabulous Kate Crane and her Journal Your Year Calendar.
I like to pop over there and admire her pages and Gez and Anesha have also inspired me to have a go ;) Thanks girls.
I'll confess I am not good at sticking to stuff like this......but I'm going to give it a go.....if only to see what fun stuff I really get up to ;) HOL
I bought a little sketch book from Paperchase when I went to Bristol for my birthday at the beginning of December. Sorry about the glare, the cover is plastic, I'll be covering it at some point.
I hope to take this with me wherever I go as it is so portable and then there can be no excuse for not making a scribble in it every day!!!
Here are the pages for January......the squares are inchies and because the journal is so small (5 and 7/8th inch by 4 and 1/8th inch) I thought I'd make an additional flap over element to hold some extra days and be a place for a stamped image. (Paperartsy, T!m Holtz).
Thanks for looking
HAPPY
NEW
YEAR
xoxo Sioux
P.S. Come back tomorrow for The Artistic Stamper new monthly challenge....see you there....after I recover from the midnight Cava LOL!!!
