Text of the page (random words):
nose was running in this photo what tmi like i say these brambles were growing close by an industrial area which i d joked could have made the fruit radio active so imagine the apprehension when back home in our kitchen i opened up the boxes and found a spider crawling across the fruit as james took the box outside to dispose of the spider i could be heard shouting after him be careful remember what happened to peter parker while we re on the subject of the changeable september weather 10 09 13 the first day of the autumn season where i had to succumb to the cold and put the fire on the only trouble with an exceptionally warm and bright summer is that it makes for quite a contrast when the days turn grey and chilly if i d been alone i probably would ve just struggled through maybe throwing on a scarf or a spot of running up and down the stairs but i had company and she didn t feel too well and i m guessing it s the same where you live but here it s definitely thought of as rude to send your guests home with hypothermia a problem with the 3rd rib on my back what caused me to wake in the middle of the night with a pain down my left arm last month it was a nightmare that woke me around the same time at this rate it can t be long before i introduce a regular blog feature called what woke julie in the night this week and this prominent 3rd rib which was annoying a nerve led to my next september statistic 2 visits to the osteopath fortunately for my back and my bank balance those 2 visits seem to have done the trick the osteopath recommended i get occasional massages as a preventative measure and who am i to argue so i m now on the look out for a good masseur 3 the number of books i read all can be found on my pinterest book board 34 the number of geese in formation i heard flying over our estate i was in my workroom with the window closed when i heard them pass above me not even especially close by or overhead when i heard their chattering i d thought what s that noise it sounds like geese and as i looked out of the window i realised why and finally 7 out of 8 how many treats i managed to eat during afternoon tea with friends that 7 included 2 perfect scones i was the only one of 4 of us who couldn t manage that 8th treat a slice of chocolate cake and i was also the youngest person at the table and so when the waitress offered to wrap my cake to take home one of my friends explained to her that they d all eaten theirs as we ve been doing this longer that she has it s encouraging to know that my capacity for cake eating will only increase over time so those are my month s statistics to share your own please visit the full how to join in my month in numbers guide here there aren t many rules rather just a few ways you can join in the month in numbers community and help me out at the same time i may be a little slower than usual visiting your month in numbers posts this month but as always i ll make sure to get around to you eventually promise right then i ll depart now to a symphony of the synchronised zipping up of boots and buttoning up of cable knit cardies in preparation for october october s communal count will be here

tips for making creative projects happen hello you over the last week or so i ve been sharing the pages so far from my 30 postcards to myself learn something new everyday album if you missed them you can catch the album contents here week 1 here and week 2 here and as some of you might be considering making something similar or better still if some of you might be scared to make something similar then this post is intended to show ways you can not only begin but continue with this kind of extended daily type of project these ideas might come in useful if you re planning to make a journal in the run up to christmas this year perhaps you re planning to follow december daily from ali edwards or journal your christmas from shimelle com you ve got plently of time to apply some of the principles which i ll set out today in your own festive book or else use the tips to prepare any journal on any them e such as a travel journal basically what i m saying is why not pin save this post to refer to when you need it right back to the post itself later on i m going to suggest that organisation will help you with these kinds of projects but to be honest that s too much like telling you to run before you can walk in my experience the storm comes before the calm any large scale creative project i tackle usually begins in complete and utter mess chaos and very often sheer terror and creative despair even if and that s a big if i can decide upon which format to use notebook or minibook tags or postcards junk journal or scrapbook somebody help me choose and so on i m someone who needs to browse through the majority my supplies in order to get a feel for what i want to use i wouldn t want to overlook that perfect something or other would i and as i have quite a collection of supplies and like using lots of ephemera that can take me quite some time and some debating with myself and during that time my house will invariably look like this except this is after tidying my table and or floor tends to look like this because once i ve narrowed down which stash to use check out the supplies i set aside in my album contents post i daren t put it away here s how i make a start on a 30 day type project this is just how i do it it s obviously not going to be same for everyone but see if anything here is useful to you as far as is possible i set aside a whole afternoon block of time to set everything up in one go i think it helps with momentum and prevents a simple craft project from taking over my entire week s worth of free time or even my life i set aside enough supplies to complete the entire 30 day project from the start the last thing i want to do is dive back into all my boxes again in the days ahead so i set aside enough to do the full job from the kick off barring the occasional extras i restrict myself to only using what i selected at the start otherwise it could end up in an entire re assessment of my whole stash once again and that would mean more wasted time i set out all those supplies where i can see them on the same table across the floor any available surface if i can t see them i can t be inspired by them rendering all the time i ve spent on the previous steps pointless i ll admit that the sheer scale of the mess is sometimes daunting but i keep telling myself it s only for a day or so i decorate all 30 pages before the daily element kicks in granted this can take a few sittings but i don t stop until it s done i know that once those 30 days begin i ll only have the time and inclination to record the memories rather than getting involved with more titivating once completed and this is where the organisation tip comes in i store the pre decorated journal plus all my additional supplies together in some sort of dedicated bag or box this makes it easy for me to grab before flopping down on the settee in the evening then i can add that day s wording to my pages while relaxing this year i m using this cute little plastic tray i found in a charity shop last month when it caught my eye i immediately recalled that carmen of whoopidoings had mentioned that someone had suggested that old school lunch trays work well for organising craft supplies and while this isn t quite that it s good as and for just 1 50 i didn t hesitate thanks for the idea carmen while they re not in these photos i also keep my alpha roller stamp date stamp ink pads journaling pen plus scissors and glue in case running repairs are needed in there too making it super easy to keep up to date with my 30 postcards when ever the mood strikes so i ve talked through how i set myself up initially and how i keep everything together for the duration of the project but before i go let me quickly tell you about something i occasionally do when i m crafting in general but which i really made a concerted effort to do during this particular project i used up my scraps yep i achieved the holy grail of crafting i used up my scraps my leftovers my oh no i ve already used that on a big project and now i can t possibly face using it on new projects bits do you know that feeling it s when you ve used a particular paper for something that afterwards it can get a bit been there done that and then the leftover sections of it end up languishing in your stash for the next year so with that in mind after decorating my 30 pages i forced myself to sit at the table and not start anything else until i d used up all the leftovers and elements i didn t get around to using and here s a selection of what i made i ll post a few detail shots in my much neglected flickr gallery but these give you the general idea they re basically just a lots of strips and scraps with a vintage image or a phrase as a focal point i m not entirely sure what they are yet they may eventually become business cards with my details glued to the back tiny original collages to sell for a low price point if i ever dare take a table at a craft fair tiny cards to pop into parcels and a few have already been used as birthday gift tags so whatever they turn out to be at least all those scraps have a new lease of life already while they were out on the table while i could still bear to look at them where they escaped the recycling bin do any of today s ideas alter how you might feel about tackling a month long project does it seem more manageable now you ve seen how a mini book can eventually rise from mess chaos and despair would the mind set of allowing yourself and yes i think it does take a battle with the conscience to just let go and trash the place like that to make all the mess that s necessary because it only lasts a few days help you to really make a dent in the project at the start does the idea of binge crafting and really focussing during in the days that you do have a few hours spare help you see there s a way to making something easy to keep up with throughout the rest of the month whatever your reaction i d be interested to hear julie p s going postal will take a tiny break from now until next wednesday oct 2nd so i can make room for september s my month in numbers and a new communal count which may or

wednesday 25 september 2013 going postal 2013 postage stamp flower gift tag hi hi hi if you ve been following the going postal series so far no actually if you re familiar with my blog at all or my shop or even my wardrobe basically me in general then you might have realised by now that i m pretty fond of putting things into colour themes and needless to say this has extended into my stamp collection of course it has i find that whenever i can t think of a theme for something eg my fabricky bits kits or i m sitting there faced with a lot of supplies and i can t think of an interesting way to pull them all together as in my 30 postcards minibook i turn to arranging things into colour families and i take it from there here i wanted to make a flower design with some stamps and to make sure that idea was nice and clear i selected ones in similar shades and because of the similar colours they hang together nicely and make sense as a flower rather than looking simply like randomly placed stamps more ideas stamps can add a quick extra level of interest to any project where you might otherwise use small pieces of patterned paper you could make pretty postal petal embellishments like these in advance mounted on to a disc of cardstock and decorated in the centre with buttons gems etc then they re always on hand to add them to all kinds of paper crafting projects cards tags gift wrap scrapbooking sort and store a bundle of stamps in colour order in clear bags or in a divided storage box to speed up choosing which ones to use otherwise you may just find yourself browsing your entire collection every time ask me how i know one additional thing i like about storing stamps in a rainbow spectrum is you begin to see how many pretty bright and unexpected colours they come in i was surprised to see so many oranges pinks and purples amongst my collection this allows you to easily add a vintage yet bright touch to more modern paper crafting styles i think the vintage postage theme is often used in dark grungy aged effect type projects but as i hope this tag display they really can be combined with pastels too i ll have more of my 30 postcards pages to share later in the week until then do you sort and store your supplies in colour families just certain ones or everything or nothing i s colour not as big a creative influence on you as it is for me julie if you
