First EVER YouTube Video is Up

Nothing the least bit intimidating about setting up a YouTube channel right? I used my iPad and imovies to create my fist YouTube video showcasing my February bullet journal set up flip through. Hopefully over time I will become more comfortable with doing voice overs and learn more about setting up my video so it flows smoothly.

Check it out here.

February 2018 Bullet Journal Set Up

I started out very simple with a monthly overview, followed by monthly focus page and weekly tasks, (inspired by Lisa Jacob's Your Best Year), on to money matters, and then last but not least my set up for #incowrimo.

I used several stamped images to decorate my journal this time. If interested I can list the names/links. Just let me know.

Happy Crafting.

Bullet Journal Tidbits

One of the ways that helps me relax is taking the time every weekend to set up my bullet journal for the following week. Though I don’t have that many things that I need to schedule it’s nice for me to be able to go to one place and know exactly what I need to do this week and what is coming up for the following week.

On my weekly spreads I include one small self care tracker each week. I have tried using the more traditional monthly trackers to keep track of these kind of things however I have found that I tend to forget them. What I track each week is determined by what I feel I need to work on at the moment.

My weekly spread is condensed as I use daily spreads to journal and reflection on our devotionals. If I need more room for that day I simply add it to my dailies.

One of my favorite spreads that I use every month is my gratitude journal. I try every day to write one small thing that I am grateful for. Some days it’s as simple as having Tylenol for headache and other days its things like knowing my friends and family are always there. Some months this page is full of doodles and symbols other months it’s a quick list.

Im not much of an artist when it comes to doodling or drawing but I do love a splash of color. itry to stick to 2/3 colors for the month and see where or takes me. I'm thinking about trying my hand at a themed February next month. Using my lightpad and tracing the images. Did a little practicing today; im not sold on it yet. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

2018

I was one of the lucky ones that managed to sign up for Kara's (at Boho Berry) first ever Bohoberry Box, and received a copy of Lisa Jacobs, Your Best Year as a free gift. Let me tell you the book makes you take a serious look at things and helps you plan out ways to make any changes you'd like.

After some serious reflection I have set my goals for 2018. No new year new me kind of goals, more along the lines of smoothing out my rough edges and refining my life to better live the kind of life I want. Home, health and hobbies are my focus.

Home for me includes both Financial and Relational. Building a solid foundation financially is one of my main goals this year. Relational I'd like to rebuild some old friendships and strengthen new ones.

Health includes Spiritual, Mental, and Physical. Spiritually, I plan to attend church on a more regular bases and start a daily devotional. Mentally, I plan to get myself more organized with a routine and meditating daily. Physically I am going to get my tush back in gear and work towards being able to run a 5k before the end of the year.

As far as hobbies go, I'd like to get back into some card making and start cross stitching again. Who knows maybe even get back into candle making, soap making and what not. I'll definitely be blogging on regular schedule and am kicking around the idea of starting a YouTube channel. So stick around.

I'll be using my bujo to keep myself focused and on task. This year I have chosen a Leuchtrum 1917 in berry and decorated it with a lovely Rainbow Brite decal.
