Journaling Prompts

Holiday Prompts: Day 16 of 50 Days of Journaling

December 8, 2011 by Jess Leave a Comment

So sorry for the lack of posts lately. We have just recently bought a house and are moving in one week! It’s been a mad scramble around here trying to get everything packed up, as well as finish Christmas shopping and get projects completed.

Today’s prompts are about senses:

1. What are your favorite smells about the holidays?

This one is so easy for me, I LOVE the smell of live Christmas trees (even though we’ve been getting the fake ones for years), and I love love love the smell of the Christmas dinner baking and of course my mom’s fresh shortbread right out of the oven. Those goodies barely have a chance to cool before we gobble them down!

2. What are your favorite tastes about the holidays? Favorite recipes?

Another easy one: the entire Christmas dinner that my parents make, including all the glorious desserts: trifle and shortbread are special Christmas time favorites.

Holiday Prompts for December….Day 14 of 50 days of Journaling

December 3, 2011 by Jess Leave a Comment

Welcome to December! I wish things weren’t so crazy around here right now, so I could actually get posts up every day. That would just be amazing. Hopefully I will have some exciting announcements soon, just not confirmed yet…”

So for the month of December, I know a lot of people (I wish I had time to do this, this year) are making the daily December albums. I totally love those so much, if you are doing one, feel free to email me some pictures and I’ll post them up here, or leave your link in a comment. All the journal prompts for December will have to do with the Holidays/ December Daily albums. Hope you enjoy them!

Today’s prompts:

1. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

How are things looking in your home? the mall? your neighborhood? Do you have decorations up yet? Do your neighbors have Christmas lights up? What does your favorite mall have for their big holiday displays?

2. How December started…

How did December start out for you? Was there snow outside or was it unusually warm for this time of year? Any special events happening in your area?

Day 12 of 50 Days of Journaling and new layout from a sketch

November 21, 2011 by Jess Leave a Comment

Today’s prompts:

(and I will get my pages done and posted to all these eventually!)

1. Magazine Headline Inspiration

Grab one of those magazine you were about to throw in the recycling bin and choose a headline from one of the articles. Use that to jump start your journaling. If you don’t mind cutting your magazine up, go ahead and clip the headline right out and stick it onto to your page.

2. Fill in the blank:  “I wish I were____________”

 

This past week I got to work with a fabulous sketch made by Sarah Nolan to create a layout from it. here is Sarah’s sketch and my layout.

Day 11 of 50 Days of Journaling… and sweet memories

November 15, 2011 by Jess 1 Comment

Today’s prompts:

1. What I’m most looking forward to…

Journal about what you’re most looking forward to this week, this month, or even in the upcoming year.

2. Memories: best of the best

What are your happiest memories from the last few month or last year? Pick a time frame and journal about those sweet memories that bring a smile to your face.

 

I found a memory card for my camera that hadn’t been used in awhile so I checked it out before I erased everything on it last night. I found some photos on there from the past few years and there are a few I’d like to share that bring a smile to my face.

my mum and my youngest niece, last Christmas in Indianapolis. I love the looks of love on their faces as they are laughing with each other.

This is from 3 years ago, before the dogs and I moved away. This one is bittersweet for me. It makes me smile cause of how Gracie the cat loved the dogs and would rub her head up against theirs. But it makes me sad cause I miss her so much.

My nieces last Christmas. I love how they are best friends.

Part of a mini album that I made a few years ago – this one is about the last Christmas we had with my grandma. This one also makes me both happy and sad. I miss my Grandma and think about her all the time. I even still have her phone number in my phone and she’s been gone for over 3 years now. I just can’t bring myself to delete her number 🙁

With Grandma and my parents dog Rusty – both of whom are now together again.

And one last photo:

just cause I absolutely love this photo of the girls and I’m thrilled I get to spend Christmas with them again this year!
