Project 30 update

Hiya Claire here.

You may remember back in February I started something called Project 30 to mark the fact that I turned 30 this year. Well I've done a bit more to the Grungeboard journal book & have started 2 other mini books to go into the chest that will hold all the mini books & projects relating to Project 30... although I still haven't decided how to decorate the chest. All of these little projects are as yet unfinished as I want to work on them all throughout the course of the year & see how things unfold

 

One thing I have noticed this year is suddenly I have oodles of confidence, I'm normally one who lurks at the back of a crowd, not making eye contact & not saying much but not anymore, no longer afraid to speak my mind, & just be me I'm grabbing opportunities whenever they come my way & making positive changes throughout my life & it feels good.

I've always had my own style when it comes to clothes, I don't really follow the crowd as it were, I know what I like & stick with it, besides it all comes around again, I was wearing skinny jeans in the 90's & still wear them today... only now they are fashionable, the only must have in my wardrobe are leather jackets & I have lots, one for every occassion.

This is one of the mini books I've been working on & its all about my love of writing

to be honest, I have no idea what set off my love of writing as I hated school, but a couple of years ago I just started writing a journal... I'm not even sure why, & it just sprang from there.

I now have an astounding 72 notebooks, Journals, diaries & notebooks in my collection & I have a feeling I won't stop there.

In this next mini book I wanted to record my hopes, dreams & ambitions.

I will be using one of my favourite quotes in this mini book & here it is...

Consult not your fears but your hopes & your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried & failed in but with what it is still possible for you to do.  Pope John XXIII

Well thats all for now thanks for stopping by to see us, & please come back soon

Fab minibooks, and fascinated by your journalling determination. It's possibly one of the most important things you'll ever do - what a fabulous record, don't stop. Wish I was as disciplined. Maybe it's what has led to your increased self confidence - writing stuff down gives you a better awareness of who you are and what you can do. Just pondering.

I remember your chest... ooer that sounds a bit dodgy but you know what I mean :D These books are fabby. I seem to be accumulating diaries and journals but not writing in them. I buy them or get gifted them because I love them and then I just hoarde them! Naughty!
