Art Journaling ~ The Gratitude Era!
All this month, we have been focusing on the prompt {GRATITUDE} and the pages have been so amazing!! Chris does the last week each month, and I was so impressed by her wrap up that I am going to paste it here:
“This month has been full of inspiration and Gratitude. As I have worked through each week, I have noticed myself recognizing many things that I have to be grateful for even when it feels elusive. As always, this week will be a wrap-up, a way to pull everything together that we have encountered within ourselves on this journey.
Let’s think about our progress, those little things that stick out for you as little flashes of appreciation. Was it something you thought, a remembrance of how you look for the light? Was it something you held in your hand, a warm cup of tea, or a child’s hand? Or maybe it was the sense of resilience you know you have inside, that *thing* that keeps you getting out of bed every morning that knows you can show the world that you don’t take any of it for granted.
Do you have something in mind?
If you do, go ahead and scrap your heart out, you’ve got this!
If you don’t- that is absolutely A-OK. Start scrapping even if it’s just with a blank paper. Just do it.
One lesson I took from this month’s challenge is that when you feel empty, ever alone- there is always –always!– something inside you to be proud of, to be inspired by, to be *grateful* for. I know it is in me and I am sure it is you. Sometimes, it needs a little teasing out. So open up your program, grab a blank paper or a full kit, and have fun. I know you got this, we all do. ♥
For me, I focused on my progress from feeling very much in the dark to recognizing that I am not alone, and there is always light when you remember that.”
Her page was wonderful – and she did a 4 part template page. You can see her progression through the topic in this page!
Here is one of the pages, randomly drawn, to feature!
