Oh my gosh, how I love the pages of my Rainbow Glu Oh my gosh, how I love the pages of my Rainbow Glue Book!  And I love how heavy this book already is becoming. Yum!

Wanna see the veeery colorful pages inside? I shared it in a video & blog post today, so go check it out if you wanna see some of the WIP pages and hear me go on and on about how I can't stop cutting & pasting this week...

This look of the washi taped pages is from before I started filling it, now it's even chunkier.

Squirrel pen case that my mom sewed for me. 💕 Squirrel pen case that my mom sewed for me. 💕 

They are some of my favorite colors, and I got (another) great container for pens & markers. Always a great need for a pen squirrel like me to hide my treassures in! 🐿

I bought the fabric and the make-up bag pattern (from and by Maria @pink_pony_design ) two years ago and now my sweet mom sewed this together for me! Yay! 💕 I am lucky to have the best mom ever, just so you know. 

The FQ was too small to turn the squirrel right way, but I think it's perfect like this.

Check YouTube or my blog to watch the video called "Art Journaling in Stressful times". I thought it'd be something we could all use right now.

Yay! Second blog post of the year (!) up on the bl Yay! Second blog post of the year (!) up on the blog now, with a process video of the collage cover I did on this Moleskine notebook! 

The Moleskine notebook is my current diary, and as a companion I will write every day in the black Five Year Journal / Femårsdagboken! I got it for Christmas and started it yesterday, Jan 1st 2021. Let's hope that I can keep it up. I am  guessing the second and so on year(s) will be more fun than this the first year? Wish me luck.

Pen holder sewn by mom. 💕

Cheers! So much happens in a year, so many new pag Cheers! So much happens in a year, so many new pages are filled and journals written. Now it's time to move on, right?

I'm most definitely finished with 2020, and I'm looking forward to making my own life BETTER next year, in all the ways I can. 

I am compiling a list of things I want to enjoy next year - creating art big among them. And writing, walking, yoga, making books, collages, blogging, video editing, socializing & stitching too.

 What's on your list?

December Daily Christmas Journal in progress but f December Daily Christmas Journal in progress but far from finished, on a quilted Christmas table runner that I sewed with mom (more photos of the finished table cloth on my blog) last minute this month. 🍬 

Allmost all of my beloved family gathered, and fruit sallad waiting to be eaten (and a lot of other food & cakes - but it's my fruit salad that I'm looking most forward to, right now). 🇸🇪

Merry Christmas to all of us! ❤ Merry December to YOU!

Browns.... A small tube of brown was almost dried Browns....

A small tube of brown was almost dried out, so when I discovered that, I filled a spread with the remains of that tube of acrylic color... but I don't think I'm done with this yet.. Hmm...

Or? I'll just let it percolate for a while I guess. 

Art journaling is always a WIP...
