This year I ‘m part of a Circle Journal book club with nine other bloggers. Each month we do a two page layout in one of the journals and then send it on to the next person. In March I worked in Dana’s book. You know… everyone’s favorite blogger…Dana of The Stone Rabbit . Dana’s journal is Knowing Me Knowing You and she asked us to do a two page layout of five words to describe something about ourselves. Here’s my layout.
Can you guess my words? The little card is one word.
The house is another. Those little birds are a vintage barrette from the ‘50s. This has nothing to do with my words but Dana and I are practically twins. True. Except for her being thin and I’m not and she’s in tip top shape and a runner…and I am really really on the opposite end of that and she’s from Missouri and– oh never mind. We were born just months apart and I’m a huge fan of hers and consider her a good friend even though we’ve never met in person. She makes me laugh and don’t you love friends who do that? Anyway – #2 - The House means?????
See the ticket and buttons? That’s not anything…just there for balance!
The little viewmaster wheel is the third word and this was a tough one and encompasses several things so I’ll tell you what this word is. #3 is Curious! I was going to put computery because I’m fairly good at figuring things out on computers but only because I’m curious. I research things to death so I could have put researcher or OCD but in the end it’s curiosity that leads me to learn how to do things.
Here’s my last two words on this page.
No – not the clock silly although I am “timely” – the pink puzzle piece of a state and the little book. Yep that’s my fourth word. (Haha my friend Patty saw the bird and guessed “flighty”! Close Patty but NO!)
And the fifth word which opens has all five answers and a brief turned lengthy explanation.
But I can’t tell you the five words because Dana might see them! What I thought would be hard to do? Not. Once I started writing it was blah, blah blah and then some more blah blah blah.
Our very own Beverly of How Sweet The Sound and Pink Saturday fame came up with this idea so be sure and go see what she and the Pinkies are up to today.
So that’s it for me. Any questions? I have one. Leave a comment and tell me what five words you would use to describe yourself. I think Dana had an awesome idea for her journal, don’t you.

I can hardly see to type, Nancy, because the tears are just streaming down my little old face!!
ReplyDeleteThat creation of yours just filled my heart with so much emotion!! I LOVE what you did for my journal.....I just can't tell you in the appropriate words how very much they mean to me!! And I can hardly wait until October to see it in person.' You are such an artist and creative genus. You said we were alike in so many ways...well, we are, cept for the artsy, creative genus part....I'm no where near your level in those areas.
YOU are the person who helped me pick out the final title...I had the idea....you came up with the perfect words to put it in motion. After I saw the other journals coming around, I wished I'd chosen another theme for mine....but now that you and the others are bringing it to life and sharing descriptive words about yourselves...I truly am happy I did what I did. It will truly be a treasure when it's completed.
I have a busy day ahead.....doctor appt., post office and getting my post ready!!
Thank you again for this awesome work of art!
Happy Pink Saturday!!
L, Dana
