A Commonplace Book

Book journal‘s coming along. ✌🏻📖🔮 The wisteria vines, inspired by “Practical Magic”, were both a pleasure & a challenge.

Velvetsun Love it. Wish I could make my journal look so pretty. 6y

monalyisha @Velvetsun I‘m great with children‘s crafts, which is comes in handy working in a children‘s library (give me glue sticks, construction paper, & googly eyes & I can make a “masterpiece”), but I don‘t draw well - so this is a very tentative attempt at broadening my artistic horizons! I bet you could do it! 6y

quietlycuriouskate It's looking good! ❤ 6y

I started working on a thing today. 🤗 Mostly it just involved me swearing a lot while desperately trying not to smudge things, & making gratuitous use of a gum eraser. 🤷‍♀️

Special shout-out to @NHLibrarian for referring me to the tradition of commonplace books!

monalyisha @Louise Why, thank you! Wild I can get down with. It‘s the straight lines of the bookshelves on the next page that are giving me grief. 😅 #coloroutsidethelines 6y
