Creative Journaling & Excessive Date Stamping
I am determined to expand my creative journaling. Between opening a shop to creating a daily December journal that I’ve publicly put out there, I feel really inspired. My journals were even featured on the front page of etsy! A big thanks to Cameron at Create Beauty Daily for capturing this screen shot for us:

We’re just about out of inventory!
I think it’s so important to capture bits and pieces of ourselves. If you have someone in your family who is addicted to Ancestory.com then you know what treasures postcards, photographs, and memorabilia from the past can be. The amazing thing about journaling is how it also transforms us or reveals a part of us we didn’t even know.
As you know, I don’t have access to American scrapbooking stuff (without paying an arm and a leg!). I’m playing around a little. I’m brainstorming. I’m having more fun with this German date stamp than I thought possible. Martin, too! It’s the latest addition in our home – a splash of creativity, a good dose of German order.

Thanks for supporting this journey. Stay tuned for more projects and more ideas. In the meantime

Congrats on your etsy shop! Your products are beautiful. I have access to American scrap booking supplies if you need something. I can send them via Deutsche post. Let me know. I’ve been keeping a journal of our travels so Indy will have it when he’s older and hopefully it will be passed down.
BTW, the past tense of verbs in German are my favorite. They sound so funny to my American ears. Getrunken. I love it.

post post post. :) I so enjoy your blog!
And, after drooling over beautiful, creative, expensive stationery at a local gift shop, you’re an inspiration to hit those art supplies sitting on my shelf at home and create/repurpose what I’ve already got. Thanks!

So fun! I’m glad the Etsy shop is doing so well! Thanks for bringing back some old German lessons in my head with the word trinken. I have sentences flying around now that I didn’t know I remembered!
