Friday's Faves - Journaling...

This Friday's Faves is all about Journaling. You can journal to discover more about yourself and or you can journal to discover and engage with Him who created you. There are many reasons why people journal. I prayer journal.

It is my time to offer up my praise and gratitude, to work through my feelings and circumstances, and to bring petitions to Him who is able to do more with them then me. Journaling for me though is not just writing. In fact writing is often a very small part of my journaling. I find just writing tedious. Initially it helps to maintain my attention but ultimately I get bored.  I also find it a little two dimensional in expressing exactly where I am at. I am a visual person after all. My journaling is usually more about colouring, doodling, creating patterns and visual images.

I have explored prayer journaling on and off for years, in many different forms. Read books about the styles of journaling that are more meaningful to me and once again I find myself back exploring.

No mater why you journal hopefully these might inspire you on your journaling journey - they have inspired me on mine....

Little Retro/ Vintage Homewares - Friday's Faves...


Well Friday's Fave's are back and this one is particularly special. My little 'Button' turned 3 last weekend and here is our gift to her. Her very own , made by Mummy dolls house. I was SUPER proud of this little recreated project as it was my first dolls house and it required more construction than I plan my future ones to require. Let's just say I am even happier that she loves it.

Here is what I started with... a guttered old TV. I am very very happy with the outcome and here is to the exploration of 'recreated' dolls houses!




So in little of the addition of this little home to my daughter's room I thought I would share some...

Friday's Faves - kre8ivity in a minute or two...

Total inspired I was today when I checked out the latest post over at dee construction .

I had to totally give it a go.. Here is my effort. Please tell me what you think. I so have more old tshirts that are about to take on a new existance.
 The original tutorial is here.




Oh and my other favourite thing today is this post from Myrtle and Eunice I TOTALLY love this idea. I am trying ever so hard to figure out how I can do something like this when I do not have a tree in my yard - particulally not one with no leaves. But watch this space I will work on it.

Moths & butterflies and and all things nice - What is your inspiration Wedneseday

Today's inspiration comes from a visit to Tabitha Emma's blog yesterday. I loved some of her recent posts and it totally inspired me to hunt Butterflies today as I am currently working on a piece where butterflies are key.I hope my ideas for the creation of my own little butterflies come together as I am invisaging them so I can show you some of them soon.








What's your inspiration Wednesday - Zumbo's macaroon goodness...


Zumbo's Kre8ive genius has given me another vice and reason to love life.
Oh burnt caramel macaroon I love you.

Oh and if you have never tasted Zumbo's macaroons you simply will not understand. Macaroons are nice lovely tasty little treats (if you can successfully make them) but no-one's macaroons taste like Zumbo's. The variety of flavours are amazing and including things like Eucalyptus (which tastes just like the eucalyptus and honey lollies I lived on in high school) and each one tastes so intense and soooooooooooo divine.

People living their Kre8ive Life totally inspires me and you Zumbo are an inspiration.

What's your inspiration Wednesday - little pencil art...

This is the most amazing artwork. Dalton Ghetti takes the notion of being patient to a whole new level...

I totally love the creativity, the vision, the tenacity, and the drive to persist!!!! Oh so much more of this for me!!!!! If you are in a creative funk at the moment and need a little inspiration google this guy. He is amazing!!!!
