I've found that joining some classes and challenges really helped my creative mojo and motivation! Of course, I'm a relative newbie, so perhaps all that suppressed creative energy over the years is just overflowing. I might feel differently in a few months' time. Hope not though! I'm having so much fun creating!Zsuzsa Karoly-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427330015740268592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-24103092641737475522015-01-12T23:22:21.765+00:002015-01-12T23:22:21.765+00:00Metaphorical or literal?

But when you said what your friend's comment was I laughed at that and thought she's right, no one will do it (just like those who post 'happiness comes from within' posts are miserable sad sacks who blame others for their misery).<br /><br />I love your quilted book cover for your book of blank pages. Have fun filling them. Or not.

I have done nothing crafty in 2015 yet and although I do have a few art journals I occasionally play with I am by heart a cardmaker so I don't really "fill blank pages" I am with you Julia - it is a metaphor for me!

That could have been your first journal page....<br />I fully understand where you're coming from. Thank you for sharing and just being your honest self.<br />I have just joined ODLP but I do not intend (and I cannot)doing it every week. I've joined to get some practice of MM and to watch their instructional videos. In fact there is a Christian website (Thy Kingdom Come) that does a similar thing but with a Bible study and a Biblical prompt. I think I'll combine the two.<br />I'm going to Holland on Monday night for two weeks to help my mother, so I won't be doing anything.Liscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-3516908041526971972015-01-10T17:05:25.469+00:002015-01-10T17:05:25.469+00:00Try visual journaling.

No need for words just sstart and spray ink the page....look no longer blank. i am doing a free on line class called The Documented Life project with Art5Studio and they start this month with weekly prompts on how to cover a blank page.

I've contemplated journaling too, but my life is not very exciting, or eventful unless the GKs are here. Then I use my blog....HA! I usually end up using an empty journal for taking notes for challenges and ideas (when I have one.<br /><br />What is sad is, I keep buying journals when I catch them at a really good price, or get into a zone of making them. I just love books of any kind.......even blank ones....LOL<br /><br />Even as a scrapbooker, I didn't journal much more than the date, and the names of the people and maybe a place.

Its that ' have to do this' situation, rather than 'want to do it', I think. The enjoyment is lost as soon as it becomes a 'must'. Love that notebook cover, that really is a work of art.

I have cleared up, filed, tidied, organized and packed away. Now I can't find a damn thing and my mojo must be in one of the boxes, cos it is no where to be seen. I think the problem is that I have time on my hands...I work best under pressure and seeing as I am on holiday, I can do what I like, when I like on what I like...therefore, I am doing nothing!Belinda Bassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229140792979430191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-50260466119652372612015-01-10T08:40:42.308+00:002015-01-10T08:40:42.308+00:00Your blog post truly SPOKE TO ME.

Like you, but even more so than you, I don't journal. If I write anything, it's a sentiment or the actual name of the page I'm working on. It's one of the reasons I never got the scrapbooking bug. You have to journal on the page with the who, where, what, etc. Although I appreciate a good scrapbooking page, I simply have no desire to take up the "hobby." OK, I know you're laughing at that one.<br /><br />Thanks for this post. I have to agree that journaling has a place, and it seems lots and lots of people are into art journaling at the moment. But that blank page would be where I am, too, both metaphorically and literally.<br /><br />Have a super weekend, dear friend.<br /><br />Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-68462202234596084492015-01-10T07:57:25.985+00:002015-01-10T07:57:25.985+00:00What a beautiful notebook cover - lucky you.

I can't write personal stuff on my journal pages, so some would say I don't "do" journalling - I only really enjoy messing about with paint and stuff in books.. but it does for me!
