Journal Schmernal

It's been a crazy week so far, but one thing that has been keeping me somewhat sane, is the creativity that has been flowing. I love love my art journal so far, it's my favorite by far!! I love the simplicity of some of the pages, eye candy for sure :)

Despite the madness this week, I did get to check something off my 26 Before 27 list. I'll share soon!! :)

Back tomorrow with the winner of THIS Giveaway, don't forget to enter if you haven't already :)

Journal Pages + Zoo Fun!!

I'll start with my journal pages. I've been super slacking lately. I've been so crazy busy with getting everything ready for the shop opening (I want everything to be perfect, not just thrown together in a day), as well as a million other things. This weekend I'll be playing catch up. I did the first 2 days of Janel's journal challenge, but I feel as if I need to redo the whole thing. The journal I'm writing in has super thin pages and it's messing up my groove. So this weekend I'll catch up and I'm starting brand new in my new Moleskine!!

Here's my first page for the journal challenge :)



Me and my mom have been working on a few journal pages of our own. Here are 2 of them I thought I would share. We each come up with a prompt and the other assigns 3 materials we have to incorporate into the page..



This page we had to use paint (painted my heart), washi tape and patterned paper (my xoxo)




This page my mom came up with the materials and we had to use ribbon, a doodle, and graph paper



Yea my BlackBerry doodle pretty much rules.. you know it!



I took the kids to the zoo on Wednesday, we got in free since it was Military Appreciation day. I'm not going to bore you with the million pics I took, I'll just share a few :)

One of the first animal we saw was the bear, it walked right up to us (I think this had something to do with Kaylee sneaking in her McDonald's french fries) and then just stared... When we walked away it made this sad cry bear noise.. awwwww! I think he really wanted those fries!




Then we came across this little guy, how sad does he look???



Then the cute giraffes



Photo Op!!!! Isn't he a cutie???



And of course we stopped by the gift shop and the kids each posed with my favorite animal ever!!! The Panda!! LOVE!!!!!




Hope everyone has a great weekend!
