But sometimes I have a hard time letting go and being honest, and oddly enough, it's usually when I'm happy that I have the hardest time in my journal! Take this last week...I've done pages all week where I just didn't feel sense of release, that "ahhh" feeling I normally get while I journal. And I'm happy! My DH just got home from a 7 month deployment last week. <br /><br />But for me, I think that was the problem. The change in routine, having DH sitting right next to me as I journaled, worrying that he was looking over my shoulder, etc. Last night I finally did a page that felt "right." It was great! lolArikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-58175018200876914552011-06-23T10:49:48.697-07:002011-06-23T10:49:48.697-07:00I'm not fretting or worrying about it. I'm...I'm not fretting or worrying about it. I'm just struggling a bit with getting what I want out and onto the page. Pretty or perfect isn't important at all to me. I want real and honest pages that express what I want to say at the moment with both visuals and the written word. That's always my biggest goal.Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-17532065052305056842011-06-23T10:35:29.586-07:002011-06-23T10:35:29.586-07:00Ugh, I have times like that where the journaling i...Ugh, I have times like that where the journaling is going really badly, and it's not just that it isn't "pretty." It's like I'm just not feeling it, the page isn't telling the story I want to tell, or it doesn't feel like "me." I hate those days!Arikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-39559690569521075612011-06-23T10:32:26.985-07:002011-06-23T10:32:26.985-07:00Thank you for the Crafters Workshop link...their s...Thank you for the Crafters Workshop link...their stencils are so versatile...I'd seen the circle grid used somewhere and lusted for it...now I know what it is and where to find it.

In one of your class videos you made a collage and you didn't seem to fret too much about it... that's where I want to get to.<br />Thanks, EmieEmie58https://www.blogger.com/profile/03126801172548606258noreply@blogger.com
