Long before I started to blog I wrote weekly and sometimes daily, in a regular hard bound notebook and called it “a diary”. I have kept a diary for my entire life, and by this time in my life I know it is something I will not ever loose or stop doing. It is so […]

New Year Inspiration | Word Collage Prompt
My current diary will be full in just a few pages. I thought I’d pick a new one for January, but there are still a few white pages left in this one that I want to fill. I mostly write inside these, but I also enjoy creating what I call diary collages. They are not […]
Inside my Diary
When time allows I am always cutting and pasting, especially in my diary, probably because it’s the notebook that most often is close to me. It’s sitting there, so I add in something I find in one of my folders of clippings. Something that is colorful, inspirational, beautiful or plain funny. Related PostsA Pink Leuchtturm […]
The year of the rabbit
I am cleaning out a few magazines again, trying to lessen the load of clutter around me (though of course I have to cut out images before tossing any glossies!). So today I’ve made a diary collage, a collage in between all the diary writing I do, in the yellow Moleskine that I started using […]

I’m only doing this because Theresa tagged me, and she is one of my favorite bloggers and online friends. Mostly I don’t post about awards, memes and tags because the more people that read this blog the more emails I get. That kind of attention is sooo time consuming.

Details from within – Schyyy, it’s private and I’m
When I speak of writing, the image that comes first to my mind is not a novel, a poem, or a literary tradition; it is the person who shuts himself up in a room, sits down at a table, and alone, turns inward. Amid his shadows, he builds a new world with words. Orhan Pamuk […]
I’m just a Giddy Girl filled with Enthusiasm
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Samuel Ullman I don’t look it any more but in many ways I am the same as I was when I was a kid. I […]
