December & January

Out with 2012. I did pretty well writing a little something in my December calendar. Only a couple days where so little happened that I couldn't think of a single word worth recording. December's haiku reads:

oh no, December!
month of pine trees and eating and
excessive spending

In with 2013 - January is going well so far. <the pic is a few days old> Still need to decorate the page a bit more and think of a haiku for the month.

As with December, I just drew a grid for the days so that the marvelous painted pages could show thru. They were painted by Marinda and I got them in a duct tape journal swap. Quick, fun way to make a book, and it's easy to add more pages after the fact.

I'm hooked on the process of recording just a snippet of each day. One friend is using hers to record her art time. That's a great idea, makes you a bit more accountable to make time for yourself.
