Planner Update

I have enjoyed playing with my planner as part of the Documented Life Project.  I haven't always taken part in the challenges however I have done the last four.   I am also including the Psalms study which is where the printouts are from.

Week 9 challenge: Collage something you recycled

Week 10: Make a list of the things that make you YOU

Week 11: Draw, photograph or collage a bird onto your page.
I had received some Happy Mail in the post and I used some of it to make the birds.

We went to London for two days and I collaged about the trip.  At the National Maritime Museum I was given a large paper carrier bag which I cut up and stuck onto the flaps.

And here's this week.
Week 12: Cut up a magazine..add!   I punched the butterflies out of magazine pages and stuck them on.

Here's the inside of the flap before I added the Psalm.

And with it.

The lined page ready for journaling.

Thanks for stopping by.

Planner Update

This week I have been really pleased with how much I have got done.  You may have seen the book I finished during the week.

I also finished everything I needed to for the Identity blog and started planning the next thing!

In light of my One Little Word: Participate I decided to join in with a symbol swap with some ladies in the One Little Word Facebook group.  My symbol is a heart.

In addition I have kept up with my planner.   Recently I signed up for a Junelle Jacobsen class and yesterday she held an Open House.  Her creative idea was to be inspired by the designs from the Winter Olympics to make a set of blocks.  I decided I would use the idea for the inside of the flap for this week in my planner.   I took the Kraft card flap out to make it easier.  I used pieces of scrapbooking pages and glued them on with Ranger Multi Medium.  I stamped a Dylusions phrase on cards and cut it up.  I added some orange, green and white acrylic paint.

I put the flap back into the planner.

The other side of the flap had the Psalm 15 study.  I used this from Pinterest as inspiration for the page.

The Psalm images are from 52 Weeks of Psalms.

Now to get going on all the other things that need finishing - or starting in some cases.

Planner pages to date

At the end of January I shared with you my planner that I am doing as part of the Documented Life Project.

Here are some more pages.  I am adding the Psalms to each week although I have not added my journaling.  This is a project called 52 Weeks of Psalms.

Each week you might notice an artist's name.  This is the artist that's being studied in the class Studying under the Masters hosted by Jeanne Oliver.  I haven't even started!!!!  I'm trying to get the Identity study finished first.

Week 6

Plans and Planners

It's nearly the end of January.  Can you believe it?  I have no idea where the month has gone.

We went away for 3 days to the New Forest (Hampshire) to celebrate Roger's birthday.  We had vouchers for a half price 2 night stay in a hotel!  We managed to dodge the showers on the whole and visited places we had never been to before as well as going on a couple of walks.   We saw some New Forest ponies at the side of the road.

The view on our walk.

A BIG Thank you
When we got back I wrote about my One Little Word: Participate.   I would like to thank those who read to the end and to Danielle, Sandie, Pam, Catalina, Beverly, Lynne, Kate, Missus Wookie, Rinda and Valerie for leaving such encouraging comments.  I really appreciate that you took the time to write.  I have been back to read the comments several times.


I have continued to participate in my life and have found more joy.  I have kept my word in front of me and have kept fairly up to date with my planner.  I haven't been following all of the challenges set by the team but I am really happy with how my book is looking.  I am including a study of Psalms although I have yet to actually do the journaling to go with it!

In between I have been working on the new 'challenge' blog that started on Monday: Identity: A study in Ephesians.  It is slightly out of my comfort zone as I have never done a purely Christian challenge.

And having accepted the challenge to PARTICIPATE in my life this year, I am excited that I have been invited to be one of the teachers for an online class coming later this year.  And of course I said yes to participating in that!

Thanks for stopping by.
