Planner Update

I haven't really felt the love for my planner during May.  I found that I had lots of blank pages.  If you follow the actual project you will see there's lots of mixed media type stuff going on but that isn't particularly what I have been doing in my planner.

Anyway, I made myself sit down during the week and put together the rest of the missing pages.

Week 19

The action in One Little Word for May was to make 9 little cards with I am statements on them.  I made 8 cards and stuck 4 of them here and 4 of them into week 21.  The photos on the right are the layouts I made at the charity crop.

Week 20

The photos on the right are one from each of the 3 walks we did in Derbyshire.  At the bottom of the middle page are some of the papers I painted at the Saturday workshop.

Week 21
I stuck in a piece of the fabric I made on the Screen Printing workshop.

The challenge for week 22 was to draw, paint or sketch a house.  I collaged some bits from some tags I had already painted and stuck them into week 21.

Hopefully I will start enjoying the project again.

Thanks for stopping by.

Practising Gratitude: A completed project

Thank you so much for following along with The Art of Practising Gratitude.  The challenge blog will remain live so if you haven't finished, haven't started or would like to join in now you can.  The Facebook group will still keep going as well.

Here is my completed gratitude list.

You may remember that missed out a couple of pages in the altered book.  I also had some pages left at the end so I have put some colour and patter on to the pages so that I can write on them at a later date.

The left out pages.

The pages at the end of the book.

And a view of all my pages.

Thanks for stopping by.
