Jolly Holiday Surprise Adventure | Cover

For the last month or so, I have been on an interesting journey of discovery about myself. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for several years and it has zapped all the creativity out of me. But I have found myself wanting to dig myself out of this hole that I have been in and I have been actually having fun creatively again and that is an amazing breakthrough.  I have discovered that I get burned out when I try to do just one kind of creative thing.  But if I do a little of blogging, a little scrapbook designing, a little crocheting, a little bit of wood crafts, and a little of graphic design, etc, I find myself being exhilarated by the things that I am creating and it makes all of my other creative projects better. I have been dabbing it a lot of different things lately and I am finding success and JOY again and it is making my life so much happier.  I’m so excited about transferring my blog over to WordPress and I’m excited about reformatting my posts and making everything so much more organized and better. I’m excited to blog again. I’m excited to design again. And I’m excited to SCRAPBOOK AGAIN! I have been making plans and getting organized and I have a lot to do and a long ways to go on my blog redesign, but I’m working on it and I’m excited about how its going.

One of the plans, is that Thursdays are my actual day to scrapbook pages. I’m so excited to finally be scrapbooking my family’s Disneyland 2014 trip. I haven’t actually scrapbooked in a long time and it feels really good. This trip was truly amazing and the highlight of our family adventures.  So today, I only scrapbooked the cover of this album, but I love it already. It’s so good to re-live this great moment in my family and to HAVE FUN creatively again!

Family History TuesdayZ | Springtime Fun

Journal Prompt: What are your favorite things to do in the Spring?
Journal Prompt: What are your favorite things to do in the Spring?

My Journaling:
Spring isn’t my favorite. I’m more of a Fall/Winter person, but I do like seeing and smelling the new blossoms as they appear, so one of my favorite things to do is go for a walk when its still cool and just take in the beauty!

Family History TuesdayZEach Tuesday, I am going to be offering prompts or ideas. If you don’t write in your journal regularly – I am going to encourage you to write just ONCE A WEEK and answer the question/idea that I give on Tuesdays. These ideas hopefully will spark a memory and you will be able to capture that in what you write/record so that it can be left for your children/grandchildren/family/friends. Give as much detail as you can when answering.

Will you do this for me? Will you do this for your families? You can write it down in a journal, you can type it up on a computer or journaling software, you can take a recorder and talk, you can videotape your answers, you can even scrap a page with the journaling. It doesn’t matter how you do this – it’s just important that you do it. The memories, the dates, the information is the only real thing we can leave to our families when we are gone.

New for 2015! Journal CardZ. A very popular trend right now is Pocket Scrapbooking. Part of pocket scrapbooking is journaling cards. So to help you scrap my weekly Journal Prompts, I am offering up 4×6 and 3×4 cards for your use every week! These cards are great to use digitally or you can even print them out!

This one is an easy one for me. The most fun I have ever had was taking my family to Disneyland this past December. We had a blast – truly a perfect trip and watching my kids experience the magic was truly an amazing experience!
