I'm not getting very many opportunities to journal right now - its a busy season - but eventually managed to fit some in by giving it priority. Its become something I can't NOT do, necessary to my well-being, because something in me shrinks if I don't.
Having carved out the space and time I sat down and painted my favourite colour combination on the page, not knowing where it would go.
And then I put Frida Kahlo down because she's such a role model for me, and suddenly the words I wanted just came ... pretty much from nowhere. Or maybe not. Sometimes I feel empty of anything to give, but in the end there is always this one thing.
As you can see I do very simple lettering, and then later go back and embellish it.
These bands also "just turned up" but after this I left it for a day because I got to a point where I wasn't feeling it and inspiration had gone AWOL, probably just because I was tired.
Then, as you can see below, the next day my enthusiasm and energy were renewed and I basically went mad with the dots and doodles! I love that part.
I do hope Christmas is a happy time for you and yours and that you will come into a new year rested and renewed. Thank you for being with me on the journey.

That orange and hot pink, along with the splendid shower of white doodling, has really lifted my spirits :). A great motto to remember ...
