Hello my lovely friends! π
It’s been so (too!) long that I sat down to write a post, and share it with you all. In my mind I’ve written a few π, but somehow I ended up in an endless loop of wanting to put fingers to keyboard, putting it off…just to start the same process the next day.
But, enough excuses – we’re all here now, and I thought writing a ‘TBT’ post is a good way to get my creative (writing) juices flowing again. π
The ‘New Year’ Resolutions…well, even though there weren’t many, I pretty much failed each and every one. π
- Sharing photos – Nope, did not happen π It’s still in the realm of possibilities though…see π
- The ‘Weekly Gallery” – Nope π€ See above
- A steady writing schedule – Nope…this is getting old π¬ see above
My biggest goal for this year, and I didn’t even write it down, was getting my US Citizenship – that I did. π
As of July 24th, 2019 I am an American citizen. πΊπΈ
It was a very moving ceremony, and I met a lot of lovely people from all over the world. π It was wonderful to share this day with all these amazing people. We were so many (321 new and proud new citizens), that we even made the news. π€
Here’s hubby and me after the ceremony
That was it for my ‘Throw Back Thursday’. π€ I will be back soon to tell you all about my new journals… (here are some examples) π€
…hoping to inspire and maybe even help you through the first steps of creating your own ‘Junkjournal’.
Until then π

Thank you so much for your lovely & sweet words, Kathy! πππ€
You should give junk journals a try π You could make it a βGarden Diaryβ, and decorate every page with fun & colorful scraps of paper π€π See where that takes you. π€

I keep forgetting that not everyone likes to create βtopsy turvyβ style π
I did come across some beautiful, organized journal pages on Instagram. If I find the pictures again Iβll put them in the next post ππ
