HELLO • M O N D A Y
I don’t know about you, but this week is starting with exhaustion… so I’m sharing some spreads I haven’t shared yet since I’m a little behind. ☺️

Happy Monday!!
How was your weekend? I’m just catching up on sharing spreads over here ☺️ Haven’t got into a new posting rhythm yet, but I’ll get there!

I decided to try dailies instead of making all of my spreads in advance for a bit just to see how it goes. I need a daily to-do list and a place for reflection. So far I’m really enjoying it!! Not so much pressure and I can create in the moment. ☺️

For anyone still reading… Thank you for sticking with me! I’ve missed you all 🫶🏻

Happy Thursday Lovely!
I LOVE FALL!!! It’s so easy to get back into creative mode when fall is here!

Hello Lovelies!
you’re probably wondering where I’ve been… And I was thinking about doing a live to talk about it… What do you think? Let me know in the comments. 🤗

I decided to try a different type of journaling style, and this is one of them! It’s a Calendar/memory tracker! What do you think?

Now that fall is in full swing I’m so excited because it’s my favorite season and it makes me want to create! Is there a season that sparks creativity for you too?

i’m going to be honest I’m feeling really out of practice after taking the entire summer off of journaling 🙈 Let’s hope it comes back easy! 🤞🏻

Have a blessed day lovelies! I’ve missed you 😘

Clearly I did not sleep all month… haha! Just kidding. ☺️ “Sleep” was a new thing I was going to try tracking and it was just not happening for me. Now I know not to try that one again 😅

Have you ever tried tracking something and it never happened? Tell me I’m not alone 🙈

Hello Lovelies!
It’s been a minute since I’ve been creating. I feel like summer always Carrie’s me away from consistency in journaling, but that’s okay! I took time to be present with my family, and reflect on my journaling style to see if I’m still doing it for me… for my needs.

It’s important to stop and think about why you do what you do from time to time. I’m hoping to pick it back up again soon after this busy planning season. Until then, here is something I do and don’t share enough.

Sketch notes from Sunday church service!

💖How cute are these transparent sticky notes and highlighters from ? 😍😍😍

This month I really needed a ton of To-Do list space for the weeks leading up to vacation! 😁 So this is how I planned it. What do you do before vacation?

💁🏻‍♀️Wing it!
🤓 Plan it!

I’m a super planner because I HATE forgetting things when I leave on a trip! It stresses me out a little, so as long as I have my lists I’m good 😎

Are planning any trips this summer?

Sharing a journal entry from our recent camping trip! It was so nice to be in nature. We moved away from Colorado this time last year and I really miss the wildlife in my yard all the time and hiking in my back yard. Camping here doesn’t even compare, but it was still nice to get out of town. 😊

Do you like camping or hiking? 🏕 🥾

This was the first time using my new fountain pen from .pens and I am in LOVE with it!! It writes so incredibly smooth! Thank you .doodles for sharing it in your stories 🤍

was so kind to send me these amazing pens to try! 🥳

Let me tell you I’ve never been more pleased with the quality of a pack of pens before! I seriously use the gel pens for EVERYTHING now!! I can’t believe I’ve never tried them before! And the brush pens give you so much control when you write with them that I try to find more reasons to use them! 😆

Just had to share for those who find joy in using great pens like I do! 🥰

Thank you !!!! 💞

Hello Lovelies! Just sharing another shot of this spread. ☺️ I never thought I’d love using letter stamps because I love to draw my own letters… but this was so fun and I really like to look of it! It’s fun to change it up a little ☺️
