I had a fantastic year in 2019 and I am keen to maintain that into 2020 in both my journaling and personal achievements. It makes sense therefore that my Word of the Year for 2020 should be just that... 'Maintain'.  I want to start the year with some positive journaling and mindfulness; start the year as I mean to go on.

​Today I'm sharing my 'Not So' December Daily pages in my Christmas Planner that I created using the November Festive themed Lollipop Box Kit. Have a quick planner peek of my memory keeping and creative journal pages and spreads so far.

"So here it is Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun"... ok, ok it's not quite here yet, but I'm so ready for it. ​

I love that moment when you start to work on a new journal. It is however always difficult to know where to start with it and what to put on your first pages. The October kit; 'Once Upon a Time' from the Lollipop Box Club however is PERFECT for the first few pages of a journal as this month it is all about telling your own story. Join me in a bit of journaling for mental health and happiness.

Yay hello everyone, here's my first post for The Lollipop Box Club since I made it on to the creative team. Today I am sharing a junk journal I have made using the gorgeous September Kit. As part of my own Facebook group Kerrymay Makes A Mess, I set a challenge every August to create a junk journal.

Hi all, I have finally finished my Creative Journal that I started in October 2017. I know!

​The journal includes a variety of pages in a smash book style / gluebook memory keeping in a cahier sized travelers notebook documenting events, days out and family visits as well as holidays and achievements. I did originally film this flip through before I went on holiday but unfortunately it didn't record... DOH!

I'm excited to share that for the third year running over in my Facebook Art Journaling group we will be having another junk journal challenge throughout the month of August. This will follow a different format from the last two years throughout the Month of August. We will once again be using an hashtag #kmmamjunkjournal19 on Instagram and we can post progress updates in the group and on other social media platforms. 

Facebook Group Challenge Collab with the Lollipop Box Club

I have had so much fun creating 3 pieces of art, journaling and scrapbooking this week, all based on my favourite theme; Things that make me happy.  This was a two week Facebook challenge hosted by Lisa in her Facebook Group Lollipop Box Club Chat and over on my Journaling group Kerrymay Makes A Mess. (Challenge now over, but both groups host challenges throughout the year).

It's been way too long since I did any creative journal with me videos so join me in my latest creative journaling session and journal with me with using beautiful vintage and retro ephemera. Here I am creating 2 journal pages of a recent visit to Nottingham. I love creating memory keeping pages in a smash book / scrapbook style way. I have used goodies from the Crafty Bonbons Box and a bag from The Lollipop Box Club (video and links below).
