This project has caught my attention and my creative energy....
I stumbled upon this on the internet.
It was JUST what I was looking for.
I love planners, journals, notebooks.....I have several, too many to keep track of.
Here was an opportunity to create my own.
The process so far....
This is on old favorite journal
Loved this quote I wrote inside back in 2000....
As you can see, I was inspired back then to make my own planner....
And was gung ho for awhile.....
(still can't figure out why I had to call a plastic surgeon on the 17th? : )
But, then the inspiration petered ...
Another treasure inside...
My son wrote his name on a napkin....
: )
And so the process begins again!!
My first bottle of Gesso!!
Here we go...
I redid the inside cover with some scrapbooking paper I had....
I am trying to use as many things that I already own as possible.
I got the letter stickers from Target for $1.00 : )
I wrote out a favorite quote from one of my favorite meditation masters.
"Bean by bean the bag gets filled." Davidji
I designed January's calendar much like the old calendar I designed in 2000.
I figure I will change it if I want as the months pass.
I found a wall for my quote from my old book and put a tag from a place I hope to visit someday.
Crayon and Gesso...
I got the idea for the heart tabs and permission to use her idea
from a girl in
The Documented Life Project group.
Love them...
My new Gesso-ed cover
Gesso-ed cover with heart tabs...
Transforming my cover....
little by little....
Having fun with my art supplies
: )
Another favorite quote of mine....
I guess these pages that you attach are called "tipped in" pages?
Here is one of mine with a list that I am sure will get longer and longer.
Reminders of what to check for every day.
: )
I decided to make a recipe page with a pocket!
: )
I copied this recipe off the box and bought the ingredients...
I hope I like it now that it has a permanent place in my year!
More to come....
Hope your year is off to a great start!
Blessings to you!
Love, lizzy : )
