Join me in documenting our stories with a few list prompts I've gathered.
Here's my first list:
If I Could...
There are a number of ways I could have gone with this list prompt, obviously, but when I saw the book page, I just knew it would be reading. I have been on a reading binge the last month or so and it is driving Gordon crazy because every time he sees me, my nose is in a book. Whether I'm out on the mud porch, sitting in the living room or lounging at the beach on vacation, I have been reading.
So, if I could...I would read 24-7 and forget about all my chores. Especially in the summer.
Who am I kidding, I would read all.the.time. if I could!
I used the orange folder label from the sticker sheet in the kit for the list prompt and then I did a background watercolor wash on my book page in orange as well. Today, I was feeling matchy-matchy, but sometimes I like things to complement or even clash when I design a page.
MIXED PAPER JOURNAL
Ready to join in?Take a look at the pages inside this journal. I included some pages for you that are already embellished like these:
And then there are some pages that are left plain for you to work your own magic. I love adding in office-themed paper ephemera and that envelope is a perfect little place to tuck some private journaling into.
Grab a journal or mini book or notebook from your own stash or head over to I Love It All and choose this journal, which includes the embellishment kit AND is under $15 for a limited time.
MORE LISTS
The time I spend listing in mixed paper journals makes my heart happy and is one of my most favorite past times. I love that it gives me time to be creative, helps me to use up my crafty stash and also gives me a chance to tell my story for future generations.Want to see even more of my lists and mini book journals? You can, right here on the blog!
There's the time I listed for my 49th birthday.
And then the epic 50 before 50 journal, too.
I've also listed in my art journal.
And then there are my Gratitude Journal, which kind of take on a list prompt vibe at times.
