Yes, I will write a little blurb about my day in my new 5 Year Journal this year, but also, when I need to write/work things out, I will always journal in my diary. Like I’ve always done and always will. Currently I’m working in a Moleskine Plain Notebook, a favorite brand with cream colored […]

Can new washi tape make you Happy?
True confession time: I balance between knowing that you can’t buy happiness, and then doing it anyway at times. Yes, spending money on “things” can make a girls mood lift, just like doodling can.

Exploring Watercolors
I have been exploring watercolors intensely for the past few months. Or: exploring water colours if you will, my whole life. Watercolors have always been in my artistic toolbox, never far from my fingertips. Long before I opened up my first art journal or learned about acrylics, I owned a set of artist watercolors. And […]

Mandala drawing #2: snowflakes
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snowflake… Francis Bacon These two looks like snowflakes in a way. Melting in my heart. I have lots of pens, but keeping my manadala […]
Doodles with a black pen
A whole page filled with fun doodles, in my Moleskine diary. This is what happens when I arm myself with just a black drawing pen (0.5 from Kuretake) and a blank page. Just start in the middle and doodle on. It’s been my favorite thing this entire summer. Related PostsArt Journal Peek: Wing it Baby […]
Pimp your Moleskine – another patchwork journal
It’s Pimp Your Moleskine time! I know, it’s my favorite craft too.

Yellow Moleskine Pac-Man Edition
Time to start writing in a new diary notebook. To start a new one is always extra fun to me, because it feels like a fresh start. Also, it’s time to admit it: I am a geek. A notebook geek not the least… I went ahead and bought myself two large yellow Moleskine plain notebooks. […]
