And a very good time to count them I suppose ... particularly when everyone is busy busy with Christmas and holiday stuff? This page began with my watersoluble crayons, and then because for once I knew what I wanted to write about I stencilled the numbers and added some Artchix pictures. As so often with my journal I then wrote the key phrase on the page, and everything flowed from there ....
This time of year always makes me feel all misty and sentimental - I think maybe that happens to a lot of people? The smaller writing was done with a fairly ordinary coloured pen but the deep purple was .... wait for it .... yes you guessed! Promarkers (again). I've got some of those nib attachments that make it possible to do a finer line.
The flowers are Promarkers too - I love how you can get shading by using closely related colours. I had carols going on the CD player and was generally feeling lucky and happy - not to mention the fact that I could smell mince pies cooking next door! Sometimes you need to remember to journal the good stuff and not just the negatives .... even if the latter seem to have the most impact?

you are so right - journal the good stuff - it makes us happier! i didn't know promarkers had "nibs" to write fine lines. i have to check that out!
merry christmas to you and your family!
this is gorgeous!! I love seeing how you build up a page! love the colours you have used, and I love all the floral details!! Hugs Juls
A lovely page Rosie, colour and word..I iike the numbers too, lots of technique. Thing is with journalling, it is what it is, and as soon as you write the prompt line, positive or negative, it's what needed to be said at the time. I think.
Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Christmas.
