Life Journal

This is a journal I challenged myself to in January of 2012.

The goal was to have an entry each month. 

 

A title page.

Answers to this 'Currently' prompt.

A favorite photo from the month.

 A self portrait.

Finally anything that marked a highlight of that month.

It took very little time each month, but the overall effect is quite satisfying.

I put to use a Rebecca Sower journal I  have been holding on to.

I was so proud of letting myself use it.

At the end of the year I did a 'Reflect" section...

which included mini booklets of things from the year.

Things I created...

This journal tells a personal story of the year one month at a time.

I decided not to do the same thing thing year.

I put together these pages with the thought of doing an art journal page each month. 

Haven't started in it, though. Seems this thing keeps getting all up in my grill...

New and Different!

 

It was time to replace my sets this month due to 5 years of bimonthly washing. I went from eggshell and taupe to cream and gold.

 

Ow, ow!

 

I also replaced some undergarments in the same range of shades.

 

I am wearing electric blue polish on my toes, yo.

 

Also, life is too short for cheesy sheets, towels and panties.

Favorites from 2012

Favorite movie from 2012, easily, was Lincoln. Devastating. Beautiful.

Danial Day Louis is everything.

 

Les Mis had its moments but overall it just wore me smooth out.

 

I have previously posted my top five favorite books of the year the last few, but I liked almost nothing I read this year. I read all but one book on my iPad so I am thinking I chose less interesting books to have in electronic format. Maybe that's all it was. 

My one favorite book rom 2012 was Shantaram by David Gregory Roberts.

I do like an epic story and this was it. There was action and adventure then slow methodical descriptions of life in India in various capacities. Just my kind of book.

This author is interesting, hasn't written anything else.

 

I am enjoying my GoodReads. I use it as an app on my iPhone but you can create an account from your Mac or PC.

I would love for you to join me there, we can see each others reading lists and opinions.

And I am really enjoying Instagram.

I love to look through galleries and to post a photo a day there.

My January theme is quilts.

 

On to good things in 2013...
