Lazy

I didn’t really do anything creative yesterday. Mainly because I need to pick up some supplies. I am trying to make some signatures to insert in my journal and don’t have anything. So instead I spent the day playing video games. Uncharted 4, which I bought when it came out, but only just got around to playing it. I finished it within a couple days. I actually started on Thursday of last week. Although, due to work commitments I only got to play it for a few hours each day. Today I have to go to work and meet with my Learn Direct Coach. I’m doing an apprenticeship in retail, NVQ Level 2. It’s only a meeting for a few hours, so I have the rest of the day to myself. I’m hoping to be able to go into town to get some more scrap paper, but I’ll see how I feel when I get out of work. I have also joined a Penpal site. I used to penpal all the time in my 20’s and I realised the other day how much I really miss it. I didn’t think people wrote letters anymore, but to my surprise, there is still a massive community of people who like to write letters. I hope to find some interesting people who like to write as much as I do.

Progress

Today I caught a bus into town. It was Sunday, so as usual, all the stores close early, but I was able to get most of everything I needed. I’m having some trouble finding everything that I need. Stamps for instance. The rubber ones to make decorations with. They aren’t as cheap as I hoped and the ones I’ve looked at I’m not even sure I like. I’m also waiting on stuff I ordered from Amazon and Ebay. I have no idea when its due. Could be today, then again it might not even get here until Wednesday or Friday. I’ve found I’m slightly impatient waiting for things I want to use! So far I have created two signatures (inserts) and two pages. I can’t wait to do more. Although I really need to get some more scrap paper. When I have done a bit more, I’ll take a photo to show how much progress I’ve made. On other news, the new episode of Orphan Black is out. I went to try and watch it this morning but was far too distracted. I’ve got loads I want to do, and yet feel I haven’t got much time in which to do it. A week can go awfully fast when you’re having fun. I still need to catch up and do some writing later today when I get a chance. Right now I am just too darn tired to think. Gonna sign off and grab some sleep.

The Journal Has Begun

I'm well on my way to creating my journal of my dreams. Actually, I wasn't aware it was actually my dream until a couple nights ago when I searched on YouTube about Journalling and found it it's almost like an extreme sport -- extreme journalling! Here are my favourite vloggers so far:

I mean, seriously, I had no idea it was such a huge thing until I began watching all these videos about journalling, which by the way, isn't unlike scrapbooking, I guess on a smaller scale and things you put in your journal are more personal and meaningful. You can have more than one journal going, according to SnazzyAvery. She has a journal, it seems for almost all occasions. I am not sure how mine is going to turn out, but hey, I am just getting started! However, I'm very psyched. And to boot, I am officially now on holiday so I can begin as soon as I have all the materials I feel I need to start! Right. I know, short entry today, but I'm so bushed
