We moved all the paper making supplies over to Dagan and Leah's. I miss being able to play with papermaking whenever I want to. Love to recycle junk mail and scraps. Not much good for writing on, but great for crafting and cardmaking. ;)<br /><br />Melynda--Oh, you're welcome, sweetie! :)<br /><br />Carol L--Yes, been really pretty cold up here.

I'm hoping you're not too sore and I'd love to see a letter from you in the mailbox!! ;)<br /><br />Elisa--Thanks so much, lady!! :):)<br /><br />Dee--I'll probably stick with using mostly her printouts for the SOAR journal, but it's a fun place to keep track of weekly goals. I do my serious journaling in my writing journal and I like to get more colorful and artistic in my art journal. Goodness! They will keep me busy this year--if I can manage to keep up with all of them even part-time--LOL!<br />I'm sure I can get the other paints moved this coming week by either Caroline or Dagan and Leah. There are times I really miss being more independent.<br />Hi to Matthew, Maggie, and Ellie from Karma!! :):)<br /><br />Donna--I know what you mean. I used to be terribly hesitant to use my nice journals or good paper or new set of pencils or whatever. But then it hit me...did I want to die leaving behind all these beautiful pristine untouched supplies--DUH! Go for it, baby! <br />Oh, and from my understanding (I don't scrapbook) I think some scrappers use color copies for the pictures they put in their scrapbooks (kind of defeating the point, I thought) and file away all their actual photos in these photo boxes. <br />I sure hope you get your pain patches soon. If I had strong pain pills I could take (and not get sick from them) I'd probably be sleeping all the time, too. ;) Hang in there!!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-64458460744404593232012-01-20T17:34:29.736-06:002012-01-20T17:34:29.736-06:00Wow, I love your journal.

Love your various papers too. How exciting. I always have this issue with those kinds of paper where I just can't seem to CUT it. It's pretty much the same reason I didn't get into scrapbooking... couldn't cut my pictures. Well I still haven't gotten my prescription yet and I've been in a lot of pain. Mainly I've been staying in bed trying to keep really warm because I hurt less when I'm toasty warm. Last night I turned on some music and just feel asleep. I had to sleep on the couch but that was okay. I do have a little something left over from a surgery so I'm doing okay. That medicine just makes me sleep so I can't do anything. Hopefully I'll get it soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-13206322277790659802012-01-20T10:56:36.500-06:002012-01-20T10:56:36.500-06:00Dear Rita,

These three journals I suspect will show three different aspects of your creativity.<br /><br />I'm happy to hear that you are sleeping better. It's too bad about those acrylics, but perhaps when you have a visitor you can get them up to your home.<br /><br />Take care and meow to Karma from Matthew, Maggie, and Ellie--the cats with whom I live.<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-38974125862944701462012-01-19T21:41:29.091-06:002012-01-19T21:41:29.091-06:00You are so creative!

Ugh! <br />I love the journal you have made for it though, looking good so far! I had hoped to post to my own blog tonight but I did this crazy killer work out I found on pinterest and I just want to well fall out :S BUT I worked out haha I will so be mad tomorrow!<br /><br />Glad to see you doing well with all that winter weather up there and hopefully I will get caught up son especially since i owe you a letter!!!!!!!!!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608169845866942393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-54573191774847773882012-01-19T19:29:21.559-06:002012-01-19T19:29:21.559-06:00Tori--I will! :) Yes, I was surprised at how man...Tori--I will! :) Yes, I was surprised at how many blogs I had accumulated over the past few years which weren't even active anymore. ;)<br /><br />Melynda--I find it hard to believe your life ever really settles down--LOL! ;) So glad the worst of the move is over. Missed you! :)<br /><br />Beth--Getting all the extra papers definitely made up for not getting all the ones I ordered, that's for sure. I hope you are feeling well and sleeping well, too! <br /><br />Trisha--I don't really understand about how SOAR works, either. I figured I'd just print things off and paste them into the notebook to get started and go from there. I don't think it matters if you use any of the printed items, actually, or when you use them. Up to you. All the cutting and pasting made me feel like I was bad in grade school--hehe! Fun!<br /><br />Theresa--What was funny was that the floor was cool cool that even the packing paper couldn't tempt Miss Karma to stay down there very long. ;)<br /><br />Rubye--You are not the only one who isn't used to hand writing anymore. I've heard they have been dropping teaching cursive in schools! And they don't teach typing anymore because they learn on their own from before they're in school! Myself--I've always written...and written...and written. Letters and journals and lists... Even my son and DIL think it's crazy to use paper for lists. They use their cell phones. I'm very old school, I guess. :)<br /><br />Serena--Most everything so far was printed off and pasted. She even provides doodles--LOL! You could do this journal if you couldn't draw a straight line. I was behind and don't know how heavily I will want to or have time to get into this, so the quick catch up was fine with me. Just looked like fun and maybe incentive to keep up with my writing and art journals. <br />I sure hope you feel better soon. Hang in there!! *hugs* :):)<br /><br />AliceKay--Oh, like I was just telling Serena--all of that you see there was printed off and pasted in. I just colored in some of the flowers and things that were provided. You wouldn't have to be able to draw at all from what I've seen so far if you didn't want to. I just added some notes here and there and filled out lists. As simple as it could possibly be. But I like the quotes and words for the week to think about. If the daily thing is too much, I could always do it weekly, too. Pretty loose with the rules from what I can see. That's why I joined. If I have bad days or weeks, that's okay. I can just do whatever when I get back to it. :)<br />I lived in a trailer for a year in Wisconsin and I remember it was unsettling when the trailer shook in the hard wind. A bit harder to heat in the winter and cool in the summer, but I loved our trailer. :) Stay warm!! <br /><br />Deanna--LOL! No rest for the wicked, right? hehe! We must have been bad. ROFL!! ;) <br /><br />Connie--I'll probably be choosing sheets from this haul for projects years from now--so many!! LOL! <br />I think it is most disconcerting when you mess with the favorite sleeping spot. She's acting better, but still isn't eating much. Cats can be strange. ;)<br /><br />Lynn--I really can hardly manage 70 blogs, either. I'm sure I miss posts on occasion, but I do try to read them all even if I don't comment every time. I guess this is what can happen when your cat is your social life--ROFL!!! Oh...that made me laugh till I had to wipe my eyes. Have a good one! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-80489186562274249902012-01-19T16:12:03.789-06:002012-01-19T16:12:03.789-06:00Wow I dont think I could manage 70 blogs LOL I jus...Wow I dont think I could manage 70 blogs LOL I just love your colorings those are so pretty.

I can't draw worth beans...never could...but my younger sister can. She has a B.S. in Communication Design/Graphic Design. I'm lucky if I can draw a stick figure. ;)<br /><br />Lots of neat looking papers in your order. My daughter would love that purple paper. It was nice of them to include papers you hadn't ordered, too.<br /><br />The wind has picked up here again today. Thought we were being blown away the other night. The whole trailer shook. It was +12 here when I looked at 7:30 this morning, and it's not much warmer out there right now. Snow is on the way, but I hope it doesn't amount to too much tonight. Got another long day tomorrow.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you're sleeping better.

I'm considering signing up but don't know if I'll be able to commit fully is all.<br /><br />WOW...those papers are gorgeous!! It sounds like they kindly threw in a few extras for you. <br /><br />I know what you mean about following blogs. It can be quite time-consuming and leaves little time for my own ventures. I think I need to weed some out...mostly ones that haven't posted in months.<br /><br />I love acrylics but am unfamiliar with oils.<br /><br />My body has been aches and pains this past week, particularly my feet. I've been feeling fatigued also. I hope you feel better soon.<br /><br />Yes, it's good you're getting some sleep again. Enjoy your rest.<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />Serena xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-3677331709919998772012-01-19T13:34:53.442-06:002012-01-19T13:34:53.442-06:0017 below!!!

If I had to write on...17 below!!! That's crazy.<br />If I had to write on paper I would probably never get anything written. For so many years now, all I have ever used is a computer and before that a typewriter or word processor. My thoughts seem to move too fast for handwriting.
