Day 1 - Giving Thanks

Firstly thank you to everyone who has left a sweet comment on my previous posts. At last the first day of my journal is here & I wanted to start my recording all the things I am most thankful for at this moment in time. Everyone has struggles in life but most of the time I try to focus on the positive things going on & feel truly blessed for all the wonderful things that I do have.



I have a plan for my journal & plans over Christmas which is now pinned on my notice board. It also acts as a countdown to the new semester at university which I will hopefully be well enough to return to. It's definitely going to be after Christmas now before I get back.

My idea for today's layout started like this. I knew that I wanted to use that pink OA paper I have been saving for a number of years. Each year I use a little bit. Down to my remaining few scraps now, would love to find some more!

This is the completed page. The misting went a bit wrong as it all ran under the mask that I used but it works well with the snowflakes. I printed my journaling, stamped the title using coloured inks & the snowflakes using my watermark pad like the stars yesterday. Think that is becoming one of my new favourite techniques.
