It is Officially Spring Break!
No drunken beach parties for this girl. It's gonna be all crafting all week! And guess what I'm starting...
Project Life!
I think it's going to be GREAT fun. And a perfect way to easily scrapbook my families adventures. I'll still be of course documenting my own journey in my journal. Which I still LOVE!
And, today I adorned my ears with two new holes a piece. Young and fun.

School Days
Boy has school taken away time from blogging! But that's ok. I know Summer will be here before I'm ready for it.
Yesterday was my 7th Wedding Anniversary. It makes me feel older but proud to have such an accomplishment. I'm lucky. I got to marry my best friend.
Im still keeping up with my journal! It's amazing. Really. I've spent so much money on empty journals I can't even let myself think about it. I'm already half way through with the second signature. And I've also discovered I no longer dislike my penmanship! Mostly I think because it's improved with all the writing I've been doing. And I still haven't re-read any entries or torn anything out! Anywho. Until we meet again.

Booby Trapped
Journaling
How to keep a secret. In a easily accessed book.
I wrote something I'm ashamed of but something that is vitally important to my personal growth. Something that one day I will seek to remind myself of but for now shall stay hidden.
I put this in an envelope. And using bakers twine tied it like a present to prevent its early opening.
I think it's pretty nifty.

Ive Been A Good Girl
I have been working in my hand bound crazy mish mosh of a journal for a month and a half now. I have over twenty entries!!! I've allowed myself to doodle! I haven't re-read any entries or removed any. This is unheard of in the land of Sara. I've never kept a journal this long. This well. That's felt this liberating!
Before when trying to journal I would find the "perfect" journal. Usually leather and expensive so I could convince myself I had to write in it because I'd spent all that lovely money on it. Three or so entries in and I would hate what I had written or how my penmanship looked. And the journal would be abandoned. I repeated this cycle so many times I should buy Barnes and Noble stock!
I think the general madness and randomness of this journals construction has finally freed me! Silly I know. But it's true I tell you.
Some of the paper that's in this thing I really don't like. So I just cover it up! And I really love the occasional ledger paper I find in it. It's great for wackado entries that go in all different directions. Anywho. I suppose this post is long enough.
Here are my most recent pages!

Here it Is!
So this is my Valentines/Breaking Dawn DVD Release TM Card Exchange gift!
I wanted to do something like the amazing shadow box I received for the Christmas gift exchange but more card like. So I took a small 4x7 canvas board and painted it with acrylics to get a meadow effect. I thought the colors were a little too bold so I then decoupaged white tissue paper over it to mute the colors a bit. The rest is basically scrapbooking. I think they turned out well! I would definitely love to receive one. And I had so much fun! This is what I received for my first card exchange.
I've already used the decal in my 2012 day planner and put the card up on my refrigerator! Lol. Cheers!

Busy Bee
Gosh I can't believe it's been a week since my last post!!! As you can guess the Spring School Semester has begun for me. I get to read 15 books this semester and I'm only in two courses! It's going to be fun. But I'll still be making plenty of time for crafting. Right now I'm working on my Twilight Mom Valentines card exchange parcels. I hope they turn out great! I think they will. Pictures to follow later this evening I expect.
My university campus. CSUCI. Formally a state mental institution. It's hauntingly beautiful.

Mail Call
For Chrissy! That is all. I promise a more interesting post in a bit! Getting ready to start sewing some paper and making some journals! The task seems a bit daunting. But I know once I'm in the groove it'll become my obsession. Till then! Cheers!
