"One Little Word - 2022"

 Hi Friends,
I hope you are all well and things are good in your part of the world!!!
I  had a bit of a spill, last Thursday morning at work. I hit the right side of my face, shoulder, elbow, arm, ribs, etc.....I wasn't rushing, just doing my job and it just happened.....  I am very bruised and sore, so off work for a week. Luckily this time, I didn't break anything and I am healing.  "The older you are the longer your body takes to recover" 


Anyway.........This is keeping me pretty quiet, which is probably a good thing. I have been able to think about 2022 a bit and my "One Little Word" for the New Year. If you don't know what this is check out this blog by Ali Edwards who started it all in 2006........ "HERE"

I don't bother with resolutions as they bore me. I choose a word to carry with during the year, that I can use in my daily life..........

 I may not do something with it every day but that is ok. I do what I feel like doing. Some past words I have used are, HEALTH, FAMILY, FOCUS, SIMPLIFY, ME, FRUGAL, CAPTURE and CREATE. The first year I took Ali's Class and followed her monthly prompts, in a scrapbook format, then I changed it up and did it in different ways.





For 2022 my word is going to be More........ 

*Family - spending quality time with my boys

*Selfcare - good food and exercise

*Journaling/Memory Keeping

*Rest - when I need it and listen to my body.

*Gardening- outdoor spaces

*Cooking- more from scratch

*Happiness.......

* Love.......

*Living.......

*The little moments........

These are just the main things I want to focus on, but Im sure there will be others. I like to have my word visible, so I see it everyday. I will probably use a frame or a canvas to create some art and display this somewhere in my home. It is a reminder of my word and what I want to achieve next year personally.......

Do you have a word for each year? I would love you to leave me a comment and let me know :)

Have a great week and I hope you are getting into the Xmas Spirit!!
Not Long Now xx

    You know Kerrie that’s a great word for your prompts. After the year I have had it’s going to be hard to choose a word. Daughter being burned to 60% of her body, she survived and is going forward great guns. But lots of family passing away, and girlfriend with stage 4 melonoma cancer and doing treatment I am at a loss for a word that encompasses the whole gauntlet. I like your prompts and will pinch them but at a loss for the word. By the way I love your work it’s awesome. Please get better quick because they don’t make spare parts for our model Merry Christmas to you and your family too.

"Journal Ephemera Storage"

Image
 Gday Everyone I am back with a little project I started a week ago and in between my shift work, I have managed to finish and start using it.  If you are like me, my Junk Journal Ephemera (die cuts, doilies, tags, journal cards, etc) is never sorted and where I can find things when I want to add them to my journal or make something..... I have tried endless ways to store it and have tried zip lock bags, containers, baskets etc, but nothing really works. I am always wasting time looking and it becomes a mess... I decided to do something about it and get it more organised and user-friendly by making a journal and folios to house it all in and divided it into categories. To start, I knew I wanted to use different papers from my scrap box and use them to collage......Music sheet, book pages, scrapbook paper, ledger paper, gift wrap, lined paper, all sorts to create some texture.   I am using my stash and I didn't buy anything for this project...... I cut down some file folders I had t

"Altered Book" - Part 1- Prepping Your Book

Image
 Hi there,  I hope you are doing well :)   Victoria is into our 6th Lockdown now, with cases in Melbourne again :(  I am an essential worker and we haven't stopped.  Thursday, on my way home from work, I went op-shopping locally here in town and found a few goodies for my Junk Journaling stash. I found a few good size books, some doilies, postcards, cards and envelopes, writing sets, a Japanese watercolour book, and music books. I go maybe once a month/6 weeks, or so for a peek and I usually find some cool bits and pieces.  I have today off and thought I would make a start on a new journal for me..... I found a nice copy of Pride and Prejudice, which I think I have decided to use as my new Personal/Daily journal. I wanted to keep the nice cover and take out some pages. It is a 1984 copy so not precious and the pages had a good thickness to them also. I have made a couple of altered books before, my latest being a Vintage book. It was a lot of fun to create.  Craftyrina YouTube Chan
