November Cosy Art and Crafting

 Linking up to Nicole's Friday Face Off & Gillena's Art For Fun Friday

This week I battled with a two day migraine which I am so grateful it has gone away! Thank you Lord that was so bad. I am feeling so much better! :) 

Here is what I worked on yesterday




This week I was able to create some new junk journal pages in an Oxford Composition book. 

It's a Christmas themed journal. 

Here I am working on the cover. 

I added paper from the dollar store and pom poms which I think are super cute. 




PAGE 1
I printed out that poem from Toronto Public Library Archives 



PAGE 2





PAGE 3
I used christmas scraps from the Christmas Amazon Catalogue. 






I am going to try making at least three pages a week in this book. It's so fun and festive and I will be adding recipes that I like and lists and Christmas songs too. Super fun to make. 

I also put together a November Vlog
If you like have a look.

  2. Glad your migraine has gone. I've had a low grade sinus headache much of the week and that's nothing like a migraine but I do get the headache part. And your Christmas junk journal is very inspiring. I think you've even inspired me. Isn't it fun to make a junk journal? I hope you have a super Friday and weekend ahead. hugs-Erika

  11. Good thing your migraine is gone. Two days of migraine sounds awful. I used to have them as well, not as bad though, but I haven't sufferend from them since the birth of my daughter. I'm very thankful for that.
    You have been very busy on the creative side and everything looks really good.
