Vintage Envelopes + Free Templates

March 11, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 7 Comments

I recently finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I thought it was absolutely amazing. And of course, now I am obsessed with WW2, letter writing, and islands. As an English Literature major, I've always loved letter writing and yearned for a time when letter writing was commonplace. Email, with its … Continue reading Vintage Envelopes + Free Templates

Winter Bits Vintage Printables

February 12, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Every time I look out the window, I have to squint because the glare of the snow is too much for my eyes to handle. There's just so much of it -- and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon because the sub-zero temps and lack of sun aren't melting anything -- or anyone … Continue reading Winter Bits Vintage Printables

September Mood Board

September 1, 2020 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

Much to my chagrin, September has arrived. And wouldn't you know, on today, this first day of September, it was cold, rainy, and depressing. You would think after oh, lets' say a "handful" of Septembers, I'd accept it or move to a warmer climate. 😆 🤷🏼 Good news, though, I updated my Mood Board. In … Continue reading September Mood Board

Junk Journal With Me: Episode 2

June 22, 2020May 17, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ Leave a comment

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

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a sneak peek into my latest junk journaling session, Down on the Farm!

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.
