T Stands for Two Words

The two words are

INFLUENZA GERMS.

Not much happening here...

except for Hubby and I nursing

each other's symptoms.

And tea. Lots and lots of tea.

Me wearing my husband's bathrobe

But I'm actually feeling somewhat

better now. It's been about 11 days.  Pretty

discouraging when people tell you

they've been trying to get well 

for over a month though.  And I had the

flu shot!

But it's part of life, and we do the

best we can, right?  We gotta have

  I'll be honest. Staying home for 10 days

straight made me pretty stir crazy. But

I'm on the mend. Hope you and yours are

staying healthy and are doing fine.

Appropriately linking up, belatedly,

for Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Day, as

lemon, raspberry, and green teas have

been my main beverages this week!

Hobonichi Highlights from 2017

I thought it might be fun to revisit

some of my journal pages from 2017.

These are all in the Hobonichi Techo Planner,

English A6 size. (About 4" x 6") so the drawings

are pretty small.

It's my place to write about each day,

and add drawings/collage/art.

2017 seems to have been a year for

flowers, fruit and animals...

oh, and pastry.

A lot of cups of coffee..

a lot of steps on the FitBit...

and a lot of fun drawings and quotes.

Hope you've enjoyed the mix!

It's not too late to start your own journal.  Even

if you can't draw, you can enjoy yourself cutting

images out of magazines, using craft supplies,

and documenting your day. How about it?

Make 2018 your year for Creativity!

Techo Tuesday

A new year, a new Hobonichi Techo...

interesting to see that the 2017 journal

has doubled in thickness from the

drawing, painting, collage, and other

remnants of life that have been 

adhered to the pages!

Looking towards enjoying new 

adventures in 2018...

Have you ever drawn your breakfast?

Note the little coffee cup, egg and toast 

on the left page.  (I need a hot cup of

coffee or tea to wake up in the mornings!)

Said doodle 'qualifies' me to link

 up to the T Tuesday blog hop,

from which I've been absent too long.

Stop by for a beverage and a chat!

I'd much rather draw and paint in

my journal than do housework...

how about you?
