May was a good reading month- great books and my reading time was up despite being a busy month.
Notice my page count was down though so maybe a few of those minutes were for sleeping. 😅

If I HAD to pick a favorite for the month…Billy Summers.

3/5⭐ I like that the book has tons of journal page examples, includes some specific recommendations for materials, outlines different reasons for keeping journals, and encourages readers to just dive into keeping their own journal. However, the examples are all done by talented artists, which is a bit intimidating for those of us who can barely draw a stick figure let alone a realistic panda. Much of the text was repetitive and generic.

Looking at these books again, makes me realize how much I really loved them especially, Fresh Water, Mayflies and Lie with me. These three made me 🥺😢😭

Three more doodles I‘ve done for #octoberdailydoodles 🎃👻 Enjoying this as I find it relaxing to try sketching the prompts.😆 #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Thank you @BookishMarginalia for hosting!

My hastily assembled bouquet which will be the last one of my summer flowers. Had to try and save some before it snows tomorrow (sigh) 😔. This book is a little overly complicated regarding artistic tools, but it does give lots of ideas on how to broaden your ideas and try new things. From rubber stamps, to sketching, or making intentional coffee stains, lots of inspiration for the taking!

4.5/5 ⭐ A truly excellent, detailed, resource-full, comprehensive book for all styles of journaling. #bookspinbingo

4/5⭐ While it is a little intimidating for a beginning crafter because of all the recommended tools and art theory (given the author's art background), the author does a fantastic job of making it all understandable. I like the way the author portrays journaling as a mindfulness experience and offers concrete methods and examples depending on the creator's goals.

A LMA quote from Susan Branch on Twitter (I added the fireworks and Happy 4th.) Hope everyone who celebrates has a fun, safe, and sparkly day!
