30 Day Journal Challenge: First 5 Pages

I have decided to take an active part in the 30 Day Journal Challenge that Janel is hosting over at Run With Scissors. I have done a great job as far as keeping up, but it seems that I keep adding things to past pages after I look at them a day or so later. I haven't been able to post these pictures because we haven't had internet at the house until yesterday....so here goes.

Prompt 1: Introduce yourself, incorporating your name as much as possible.

Prompt 2: What's the beat part of your day?

Prompt 3: Draw a picture of someone you love and write them a letter telling them why you love them.

Prompt 4: What does you heart look like?

Prompt 5: What blogs are your favorite? It may be easier to see the writing on the top if you click on the picture, but it's supposed to look like my blog :)

These prompts are so much fun to do, I really feel that they have helped me to be more creative so far. I'm trying to stick with just black and white but I want to throw some color in just for a little 'pop'. I've been so excited to post these as soon as possible, I hope you enjoy!

How do you get your creative juices flowing??

Handmade Giveaway!

The lovely Claire at HeartHandmade is hosting a giveaway! I really didn't want to post this because I would really like to be the winner :), but I had to share.....for one, because it's one of the ways to be entered (don't judge me!! haha), and for two all the stuff is abso-frickin-lutely adorable!!! There's a vintage book (squee!!)  written in German, a blackboard sign and blue chalk, 3 clothespins, CUTE sheep eraser (quite possibly my fave!), butterfly magazine cutouts, and doilies!!!

How cute is all this?!?!?

I know that I don't have many followers but I still wanted to get the word out about this giveaway!! You should really check out Claire's blog too!! She's an amazing talent! Her blog is Heart Handmade, which really has some awesome handmade items! I found her through yet another blog that I follow, they featured her free recycling labels!! Perfect for me since I'm such a recycle freak! (So, all I used in this paragraph was exclamation points.....do you think I'm a little excited???)

I have fallen WAAAAY off with blogging as of late....but being without an internet connection at home kind of hinders that. Sooo....I'm doing this quick post from work and I will be getting connected to the net tomorow! Yay!

BTW, I have been brave enough to join in The 30 Day Journal Challenge on Run With Scissors. Hopefully I will be able to post pics of my pages soon!
