Pieces and bits! I felt all over the place this weekend. Many things to do and the time going by fast. I managed to squeeze a little bit of journaling and art journaling to my busy schedule. These little things helped me to stay focus and keep me grounded.
Creativity involves breaking out of expected patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

I joined an Instagram art party on Saturday evening, the prompts were about spring.
Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.

Hoping you had a creative weekend and have a great week ahead!
Good morning! A new week ahead, lots of possibilities waiting for us. Hope you had a great weekend. I can say my weekend was an artsy one!
On Friday afternoon, after grocery shopping, I stopped by a craft store. It was a grey day and I needed something to brighten it.
I got these gorgeous washi tapes, I can’t resist them! I’ve many but I always need more!

Saturday evening I joined an Instagram Art Party – MarGlueBookParty, where we have prompts and make art pages using collage.
Prompt 1: Springtime
Can’t wait to smell the flowers in my garden
Prompt 2: Yellow butterfly
butterflies mean transformation and it can be reached by practicing yoga
Prompt 3: Let’s dance!
listening is what matters, no other sense is necessary when dancing
I love to see how I used yellow in all my pages. Yellow means happiness, and it was the colour stealing my attention that evening. A good sign for sure!
Sunday morning I woke up thinking about lightness, the feeling of it!
journaling about lightness
I thought the feeling of lightness should be as the scent of oranges on a hot summer day. I got out my sweet orange essential oil and smelled it! Yes, it’s lightness and freshness all together.
Take a flying leap at the sun.

How was your weekend? Love to hear about it, please share on the comments.
Being by myself, in solitude, a few minutes in the morning is necessary for setting up my mood for the day.
Yesterday, before getting up, I heard another snow storm was coming. Instead of stressing out and hurrying up to arrive at the work before the storm hits the city, I slowed down and spent some time journaling and doing some art.
I needed this time to focus on myself before opening the door to the chaos outdoors.
I followed my mantra: Stop; Breathe; Listen
In the end, I had a pleasant day and enjoyed the walk in the snow feeling the wind and the flakes touching my face.
Instead of complaining, I was grateful for that moment.
Have you stopped and thought what are you grateful for in this moment?
It isn’t only about acceptance, but understanding, transforming and adapting.
This is the first page I worked on after few days without any mood for journaling. I posted here about my feelings these last days, lots of up and downs and insecurities.
Well, it is the weekend, hoping to have lots of me time for journaling.
