Next step on my journaling journey

Hello friends, - it's Friday and that means another blogpost from me. As Journaling is the main thing I am doing art and craft wise at the moment, all I have are a few more journal pages to share, so this will be a short post....
First of all, my weekly calendar page, the photo was taken when it was partially filled in.


Here is a slightly closer look:

-Next up a spread from my "Draw Your Day" journal. I don't manage absolutely every day, but most days I do.
And finally a few further pages in  my junk journal, this is where I record some of the deeper aspects of my life and as these are quite personal I have redacted some of the writing....




I am using this journal also to write quotes that I love, practising the next steps on my calligraphy writing journey. I have moved from brushpens to dip pens, and as you can see, it's like starting all over again, - what a mess, - but hey, I'll keep practising.
And here is the final one I will share today:
Well that's it for this Friday post. I hope these journal pages are not too boring for you. I am sure that at some point I will come back to more mixed media stamping and Tim Holtz inspired stuff, but this is what I am at now.

Thank you for your visit like always
xxxxx

    There is always a wonderful surprise when you show us what's inside you personal journal Astrid. I too have a quote book that I record favoured words maybe one I should show one day. I love how you record some of your days through pictures, so wonderful to see it laid out in such a way.
    As always Thank you for sharing, the week would not be the same without seeing a little something.
    Creative hugs for the weekend Tracey xx

    As I am very much into keeping a journal this year also, it is fantastic seeing all your pages. They are all fabulous. You made the Dylusion journal so unDylusion, and it looks fantastic. I really like the size of this journal and if Ranger was smart they would make this journal without the right side pages all designed. Nothing against Dylusions designs, but a yearful is just too much. and your drawings are fun and and your other journal is just gorgeous. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

    What a wonderful snapshot of your week in your weekly journal. I love your inspiring collages. And that junk journal has me thinking I really need to start one. My favorite is your drawn your day journal. I'm just so amazed by your beautiful artwork and creativity! Hugs!

    I am new to your blog and to your amazing, thoughtful and creative gift. I am a writer, 30+ years and have held a secret longing to express my creativity through another medium. I saw one of your creations for the first time a few weeks ago and my heart jumped. This...this beauty which seems to pour from you so naturally, is the creative longing I've held! Yet, I feel utterly inept to even dip my toe into this tempting sea of expression. Tell me, Astrid, tell me, gifted, creative readers - does the pouring forth come with patience and practice or is it an innate gift one possesses or does not? Wishing you joy!

    It is always a thrill to visit your blog and see the wonders you create. I admire the way you keep up with anything that means daily additions. I start off with good intentions and then forget all about them

    Have a great weekend

    Love Chrissie xx

    Another lovely peek into your journal. The calendar page is a great starting point, with delicious vintage images and those burnt page edges. I'm so impressed with your Draw Your Day spread - beautiful little visual prompts for what you've been up to - and yes, longhand letter-writing is a joy. The world will be a much poorer place without it.

    Oh, and don't all your washi tapes look pretty lined up in a rainbow?!
