31 minutes 2019–Days 15 to 21

Day 15 and 16 was more sorting and finding stuff I thought I’d lost, like unopened Teresa Collins journals

After debating over it (& being told by Kristin to just do it!), I spent day 17 tearing all the bits out of A book that takes it’s time. And making plans for how I’ll use them.

Day 18 was working on more 30 days of doodles. These are so cute. I’m looking forward to using them in my bujo.

Day 19 and I’m back into my Daily pages. I love doing these and really need to make this a habit again/

Day 20 was spent doing some digital colouring on my iPad while watching telly.

30 lists catch up was the order of the day for day 21. I’ve nearly finished my first 30 Lists book. I *may* be able to fit my September lists in it but we’ll see when it arrives

31 minutes 2019–Days 8 to 14

Day 8 was spent on a bit of a catch up so I spent a couple of hours catching up on some more Project Life, as well as listening to the Crafty Ass Female podcast.

Day 9 I decided to draw up a couple of pages in my bullet journal and do the 30 Days of Doodle in pen.

Day 10 I got up until day 9 of the 30 Days of Doodles done in pen. I’m sad that my pen unicorn isn’t as good as my digital one.

Day 11 was a 30 Days of Lists catch up

Day 12 was something techy and working on my course teaching me how to build WordPress themes from scratch

Day 13 spent listening to one of my favourite crafty podcasts – Crafty Ass Female.

For Day 14 I decided to finally tackle the mess that is my craft supplies in my bedroom. I’ve got a plan now so it is making things so much easier.

31 minutes for 31 days–2019 edition

Days 1 to 7

I started off my 31 days by making myself a new notebook for my Morning/Daily pages. It’s just a bunch of A5 paper folded in half and stitched together.

Day 2 was spent working on my Project Lens 2019. It’s my album for the year a mix of Project Life and the Awesome Ladies Lens prompts.

Day 3 was a spread in my daily pages book. A Currently card from RUKristin and a little rainbow unicorn for mardi gras.

Day 4 I decided to start working through 30 Days of Doodles with The Petite Planner. Working on it digitally.

Day 5 is some Project Life catch up for the eldest.

I missed day 6 and 7 due to a shocking headache that didn’t let me do much for long

A book that takes its time

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The winter book for the Crafty Ass Female Patreon Book Club (omg that’s a mouthful) is A Book That Takes Its Time. A Unhurried Adventure in Creative Mindfulness. It’s brought out by the same people who do Flow Magazine and I’d say it’s a bit of a must have for paper lovers. 218 pages of gorgeous quotes, illustrations, articles and a tonne of cute paper goodies.

I’m super excited about this book, as I’ve been lusting over Flow magazine for quite some time but never bought one. A quick flip through and I was like, I need to buy a second copy as I don’t want to rip any of it out BUT I have and I’m really looking forward to getting creative with it.

So over the next month or so I’ll be back with my thoughts or just to share a quote or a project I’ve created using something from the book.

Want to get your own copy? You can buy it here on Amazon (it’s the cheapest I could find it in Australia)

Nightwolf Scraps in 2019

Welcome, welcome friends. Here we are nearly to the end of February and I am yet to post.

The holidays are over and the kids are back at school. My baby is in kindergarten so I have 3 whole days a week with no kiddos!!
One is hoping that this is going to help the creative juices flow a bit more in 2019.

What am I planning for 2019? So far – lots!!

Creating monthly pages in my 6×8 album that are just my stories. At this stage I’ll be using the Awesome Ladies Project monthly Lens prompts, with the occasional Day In the Life and Week in the Life spreads. It’ll evolve as it goes.

Working on the girls’ Project Life albums monthly. Now that they are growing up I want to rethink how I do these albums. Do I still want to do an album each? Who knows? We’ll see how it goes.

Morning pages. Now we’re in a good school routine I’m hoping to get back into creating something quick of a morning.
If not morning pages I’ll pop something in my little quote book I started.

30 Days of Lists.

Kellie is planning on doing 3 rounds of 31 things in 31 days. Looking forward to that.

100 Day Project. Not sure what I want to do. Throwing round the idea of giving myself a weekly theme.

100 Happy Days. I didn’t do this last year but I really want to do it this year. I think it is something I need to do even if just for myself.

Working through some classes at Big Picture and Simple Scrapper.

Photographing projects and sharing them here cause I have been so bad at that.

Who knows what else. We’ll see what the year brings. What are your plans for 2019?

Journal Your Christmas 2015-2017

The last 3 years I’ve had every intention to work on my Journal Your Christmas album and each year life just got busier and then bang it’s the New Year and I’m not in the Christmas spirit anymore and the last thing I want to do is create Christmas things.

As I posted the other day I’m planning on doing a JYC/December Daily mish mash. Less pressure on myself to get creative every day. We’ll see how that goes.

Anywho, onto my plan for 2015-2017. Keep it simple and get it documented!

A 6×8 calendar page for each year where I can jot notes then on the opposite page 12 2x2inch pictures from throughout December. Simple, quick and doable!!

I’ve included an envelope at the end so I can extra bits and pieces I want to keep/remember

The calendars I’m using are from A Stitch in Time. I’ve been using her calendars for ages and I love them so will keep using them each year until she stops doing them LOL

Seriously though, why have I not thought of doing this before. Keep it simple. It doesn’t need to be fancy. I don’t need to compare myself to other people. The albums are for my girls and they are just happy to look at the pictures and remember their way.

Let’s get creating!!!

It’s beginning to look a lot like ….. December

In October you say?! Well yeah, when you’re prepping for December scrapping.

Since 2010 I’ve done, or attempted to do, Shimelle’s Journal Your Christmas. I’ve also followed Ali Edwards’ December Daily but never done it.

This year I’m going to attempt a mish mash of JYC and December Daily.

Wish me luck!

I’m thinking 6×8 as I have a tonne of 6×8 stuff, and I do love that size. I’ll just need a new album.
Don’t think I’ll buy any new supplies unless, of course I see something that sparks my interest – like the new Christmas Kellie Stamps sets (especially that planner set!!)

Now off to create a stash box for all my Christmas themed goodies Winking smile
