I haven't worked on anymore of the Artistico pages - I'm hoping to treat myself this afternoon - but I have been journaling, never fear...

That's my attempt at Neuland, a hand I really like. Bold, chunky, fun!

 

The number '49' is another number I love. Maybe it's because I'm a mathematician's daughter, or maybe it's because I'm just nuts, but I really love certain numbers. Especially odd numbers and prime numbers, and their factors. They're not just numbers to me, they're characters. But then so are words. I tend to anthropomorphize pretty much everything I come into contact with...

Ahh, yes, and here's another thing. Many people write me about how I do my journal pages. Do I write everything out first and then copy it into the journal? (NO!) How come I never make mistakes? And here's one on this very page: the page number, that lovely '49,' is wrong. This is actually page 51 (3x17), which is why '51' is written in above the very pretty 49.

When you make a mistake in a journal, you handle it just like you do in life. You admit it. You process it, you notice it. And then you move on. You're always going to make mistakes.

When you visit schools these days, you have to get a pass at the office and be escorted, unless you're a regular visitor. It's very different than it was in my day...

I love tins. I love roosters. So a tin with a rooster on it is going to come home with me... And this one contained Olive Oil, another thing I love!!!

I've started putting more photos in my journals. I'm doing it because when I read biographies or journals, I always want to know what the people in it look like... What the places they're at look like. If they're famous enough and have famous friends, you can find pictures, but otherwise you're out of luck. I don't want to subject y'all to the same experience!
