Today was an unusual one for me. I visited my eldest son for his 17th birthday. He’s currently staying in a juvenile detention centre. How he got there […]
I couldn’t resist sharing this handmade Denim Journal Cover after seeing a recent Simply Thrifty entry. Deborah Ng shares a list of 13 Things You Can Make Out of Your Old Blue Jeans. I particularly love the way you can stick pens, etc, in the pockets. Great idea for a journal you need to […]
There’s often debate about whether it’s better to teach yourself skills or have lessons and/or instruction. Personally, I’ve mostly taught myself when it comes to journal writing. My motives have only been because I could never afford the prices of any classes I might have seen. Being a regular self-taught person, it’s not been a […]

I had an encounter today with a rather unpleasant individual. At the time I felt shaken and upset. Later I was able to spend a moment journal writing the incident. At first I was able to put my role in the event into perspective. I had felt the person was completely unreasonable and verbally attacked […]
