Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Journal

Before Christmas I treated myself to a brand new journal. I purchased it at the Holiday Market from a lovely woman who makes these journals by hand. Each one was different, using a variety of papers and fabric. My husband gifted me a beautiful Lamy fountain pen so I’ve been experimenting with it in this book. To be honest with you I’m very bad at keeping journals going for more than a month but because of its small size I can see carrying it around with me and taking it with me when I travel. My goal is not to tackle it every day but to at least open it once a week or when I’m inspired to add something to it.

Excessive – Weekend Challenge

Some people can never have enough candy or sweets but when you see it displayed row upon row and in giant pastry cases you have to wonder if are obsession with sugar isn’t somewhat excessive. On the flip side, though, I find it overly frugal when individuals can make a chocolate bar last an entire week or take their Hallowe’en stash and spread it out over months.
