Mood Board Journal

August 31, 2020May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 1 Comment

Hi, friends! I can't believe it's almost September. Actually, I don't want to believe it's almost September. I love summer and if it were up to me, all summers (and flower pots stuffed with zinnias) would be endless. But, alas, 'tis not the case. So to prepare for the inevitable September, I was disassembling my … Continue reading Mood Board Journal

Junk Journal With Me: Episode 2

Last week, I finished the second episode in my latest Junk Journal With Me series on YouTube. This episode once again has a very horticulture subject, but instead of veggies I focused on my budding plants and flowers! I combined a lot of techniques and supplies -- coffee-dyed paper, sewing, and vintage printables, vintage stationary, … Continue reading Junk Journal With Me: Episode 2

Vintage Printable Bridge Scorepad

June 15, 2020May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

I don't know anyone who plays Bridge. It seems to be a lost game, hidden beneath piles of old photos and dusty books. But when I search 'how to play Bridge' online, there are so many results that is seems to be alive and well after all. No need to mourn for the game of … Continue reading Vintage Printable Bridge Scorepad

The First Page in My Autumn Junk Journal Mini-Book

October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

I started working in my junk journal mini-book and have to say I am totally loving it. What I am not loving is the weather. The temperature has dropped suddenly and this warm weather loving girl is not happy at all. However, my new Frankenstein journal sure is coming together, so I guess I have … Continue reading The First Page in My Autumn Junk Journal Mini-Book

The seasonal drum continues to beat constant in my life with each sunrise and sunset, morning, noon, and night.
And here we all are, at once, with one foot standing tall and loyal in summer’s warm ray and the other foot carefully, tentatively, dipping into the golden ponds of autumn. On the edge of autumn is simply the best place to be.
I noticed a perceptible change this morning when I opened my eyes. The sun was younger, less alive than it was a week ago at the same time, not quite over the horizon, but not quite under it. The days, though still warm, have begun to noticeably shorten. The inky nights have started to lengthen and cool. The soft descent of summer has begun.
At the end of every journal, I like to write a letter to myself about where I’m at in my life and where I think I’m going. In my most recent journal, I started thinking about the idea of gratitude and how its meaning has shifted so significantly for me over the past few years. It’s interesting to note its evolution alongside the evolution of my own life and how it has paralleled the worries, the grief—and most recently, the happiness. It’s so clear to me now that gratitude is not something to have, but instead something to be. It’s an ever present mindset, a way to think, feel and ultimately live to fully experience the wonder found in each and every day.
Good morning from Illinois! ☀️
August is here and over the weekend I spent some time finishing my summer journal. I know, I know, summer isn't over just yet. But if you happened to follow along with me last year, you know my absolute favorite part of summer is approaching.
