So Weary

Week 21 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal.

The journal prompt this week
from France Papillon was
One Routine.

Her prompt was about
adding one routine to your day
to help make it perfect.

I am currently taking part in
the 100 Days Project,
so the new daily routine is to make
a collage piece each & every day.

I selected one of my altered playing cards
from the last seven days
as inspiration for my page.

You can see the original here.

I have found myself very weary this week.

The current situation is taking it's toll.

There is no end in sight.

But spending a few minutes each day,
to be focused on my project,
helps lift my spirits.

I am following the rules
by staying at home,
relying on the postal service
to make important deliveries.

I used patterned paper
from Glenda Waterworth,
Life's Journey Pansy patterned paper
from K & Company,
design tape & paper doll by Tim Holtz,
photo corners by Paperchase,
words cut from an old novel,
a dictionary definition,
a label image
from Joseph Cornell,
 printed text
& doodles with
a black Posca paint pen.

A Perfect Day

Week 20 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal.

The journal prompt this week
from France Papillon was
Perfect Day.

With two family birthdays this week,
my perfect day would be
to spend the day with them &
to go out somewhere special to celebrate ...

Sadly that is not possible
& it is hard to see a time in the future
when we will be able to ...

Give Thanks Every Day

Week 19 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal.

This week we started a new month.

Which means we also started a new theme
of France Papillon's journal prompts.

This month the prompts will be about
Daily Life,
beginning with our
current situation.

Remembering to be mindful,
to practice daily gratitude
& wash my hands.

Is anyone else suffering from dry, cracked
& sore hands from washing their hands so much?

Still I am grateful for fresh running water
& soap to clean them.

My word for this month is
yugen.

I used a remnant rub & design tape
by Tim Holtz,
patterned paper
from Glenda Waterworth,
butterfly & calendar images
from the Graphics Fairy,
a label image from Joseph Cornell,
words cut from an old novel,
a word definition torn from an old dictionary,
photo corners from Paperchase,
a Sakura Pigma Micron pen
& printed text.
