Front of Journal page has a new look

Ok So I have this group I'm apart of on Facebook called Live, Love, Art Journal, and Happy Mail.  And some of them sent me some Happy Mail, and some background papers (this was a challenge I was apart of and on the happy mail too.  You take the happy mail you get and create something with it so I used both challenges to make the front of my journal page.  I'm like, I have to cover this Journal and make it look really cool.  So I cut some pieces of the envelopes they sent the stuff in, and these envelopes are decorated so cool, then I Oh and then i typed the words on my computer and printed them out and found some cool stuff in a magazine to motivate me.  Here's what I came up with.

Here is "My Better Self Journal"...

Oh and I used washi tape too.  It turned out so cute... I may have to add a little more distressing to the edges of the paper, but I like it.  what do you think? 

 I've already started writing in the Journal.  I have to get my days in... but walking... I think that went out the window today.  But I did garden, which is considered exercise.  and I did take out the recycling. and did some dishes.  Well bettering myself isn't only about losing that 100 pounds of tire around my waist, its about being more positive and making my environment more positive.  I think I cleaned out all the mice out of  my house.  I don't see them running across the floor at night anymore or they don't wake me up in the middle of the night with their squealing.  And I can even go in my craft room and find that everything is still in place not knocked over.... :D

My Better Self - Journal

I'm working on My Better Self Journal.  I have a muffin top that's totally not my style. And since I love who I am, I want to take care of myself.  So I'm reading self help books getting the positive working in my brain and writing down positive quotes.  I also write down how I was feeling that day and what I ate that day and how far I walked... well the walking part is hard to get out and do.  I set my alarm for 8am and then I see its raining and walking in the cold rain just scares that exercise right out of my brain.

This is an idea of what my journal may look like. I might change my mind before I glue it.

My Fall - Post

This is a canvas I painted with Deco Arts Americana acrylics a sunset, added three chipboard leaves which I spray painted with copper, red and yellow Dylusional ink spray and then turned it around to make a fall scene with a positive saying.  I hope you like it.

September and the State Fair is here!!

Our State fair.

 This lady had a Bunny she said it was her service bunny so she was able to carry it around the fair.  It was so cute.  And what a personality.

 Annette and I were at the fair together She loved the big man 12 carving and had to imitate it.

 This Lady works at Verizon and saw me taking a picture of Annette and had to take advantage of a photo op.  She was with a co-worker, that used to work at Comcast with me.

 So I took a picture of both of them.  We met them earlier when they tried to steel my order of food at the Cowgirl Saloon.   :D  They were so fun.

 The sky is overcast so the lights on the rides were coming on early.

 This is my favorite ride of the fair.  I haven't been able to ride it yet.
