One of the things I love about creativity is that inspiration often comes from the everyday moments around us. As I settle into this new Journal space, I thought I'd share a few of the things currently bringing me joy.
🌿 1. My Garden & Succulents
I have always loved being in the garden, I've over the last few months, I've been getting into growing succulents. They're hardy, beautiful and each one seems to have its own personality. Lately I've been spending time tidying pots, adding new plants to my collection and simply enjoying a wander around the garden with a cup of tea in hand.
💻 2. Re-Imagining My Website
I've been spending quite a bit of time working on the Scrap of Your Life website recently. I have a new theme on the way, which will totally change the design of the website! It's one of those projects that always seems to evolve!
I'm adding new collections, organising products, creating new sections and making it easier for visitors to find what they're looking for. There are still plenty of ideas floating around in my head, but I'm enjoying the process of bringing them to life one step at a time.
✂️ 3. My Craft Room
There is something special about sitting down in a creative space that feels organised and inspiring. I've been doing a little rearranging, sorting supplies and making room for new projects.
🕰️ 4. Thrift Store Treasures
I never know what I might find when I wander through an antique store, op shop or market. Vintage books, old papers, lace, buttons and unique treasures always seem to find their way home with me.
Part of the fun is the hunt. The other part is imagining how those treasures might find their way into a journal, scrapbook layout or mixed media project.
💕 5. Family Moments
The older I get, the more I appreciate the simple moments spent with family. Whether it's catching up over coffee, sharing stories, spending time with the grandkids or simply enjoying each other's company, these are the moments that truly matter.
They're also the memories that often inspire the pages I create and the stories I document.
What About You?
I'd love to know what's bringing you joy right now. Is it a creative project? Time in the garden? A new hobby? Family and friends?
Sometimes taking a moment to recognise the little things can be a wonderful reminder of just how much goodness there is in everyday life.
Until next time,
Julie 💕
