Hi! Are you a new or recent visitor to my blog? I hope you stick around and have a bit of a read. To make it easier to keep up to date with new content, please subscribe to my RSS feed. Of course, feedback is always appreciated and leaving a comment is a great way for me to come and check out your site.

I really like the background colours in today’s analog artlog piece. Orange and yellow and red on one page and greens and yellow and blue on the other page. Black ink and red swirls.

I used a combination of acrylic paint, crayon on masking tape, pen and ink, tombow pens, doodled swirls on tracing paper, and white pen. I used to get so overwhelmed by all my many ideas and creative hobbies (which to do first etc) that more often than not I would just be paralysed into doing nothing. I still dreamed of doing it all but it was hard to just start when there was so much I wanted to do. I feel a lot calmer about it now and I hope that translates to more productivity and less stress!

Speaking of stress busters - today we went out and hired a cross-trainer to use at home! It is just so hard to get to a gym or get out for a run or bike ride (I used to do both years ago) and this is a way for Paul and I to cut the excuses and just do it. We have put it near the TV so that we can distract ourselves while we whittle our tummies down to their former flatness.

Here’s to October Resolutions!

Hi Jen

(Quote - I used to get so overwhelmed by all my many ideas and creative hobbies (which to do first etc) that more often than not I would just be paralysed into doing nothing.)

I know exactly how you were feeling as it is exactly the same feeling I get. Currently I am doing a visual diary in postcard size as sometimes I think half my problem is I am scared of by a big white page!

cheers
