Keeping a 5 Year Journal Project

So last month I started my 5 year journal, a project that was started by Tami Taylor on Get It Scrapped!. Chick the link and you can get and explanation on how it works and all 12 months worth of prompts.

To kinda summarize the project but explain more of what I've been working on, my journal consist of 4 x 6 inch  index cards that I decorate the front however I want and then answer the question to the prompt on the back.

I'm not going to say any of these are my favorites but out of 30 cards these were the ones that were the most well done.

Currently I am keeping them in a Scooby-Doo box and I already know I'll have to find a bigger box for them. It's a pretty awesome box though and I just got it about 2 days ago.

So there is enough room in this box for a month, maybe two. I think they look pretty swanky in there.

And keeping them in my Scooby-Doo box is way better then losing them in my WIP cigar box. And yes, things get lost in this box, I know, you're say "HOW!? That box isn't that big!!" All I can say is I haven't a freakin' clue.

Alright, till next month there will be another update on this project, we'll see if I get a better box or get the hang of making these on a regular basis.

Okay, so I am a little all over the place today. I'm working on cleaning things out and creating some new printables. I just started on one called "Things I scan", I'll blabber on more about it, when I have completed it but I didn't want today to pass without me saying...

If my spelling is all over the place, it's because my monkey mind today is not only all over the place but is also tired.

Ex Libris

Okay so I had just stubbled upon Shelfari through blog hoping and even though I have a goodreads account I found their widget for blogs to be too cool. So I wanted one!! Even better! Shelfari allows me to identify not only books I own but which ones are being borrowed! This inspired me to want to organize my library, which made me revisit wanting bookplates for my books. Well I told myself I wasn't in any mood to reinvent the wheel and to just google "printable bookplates" and pick some to use. That didn't happen, well it did and I found some great bookplates but then I got to thinking.. if I keep them simple I could make my own bookplates according to subjects or genre's of my collection! So I give you the bookplate for my "Crazy Cat Lady" section.

This bookplate not only makes the statement that "this is my book" but also "you better return it if you know what's good for you!"

In the event that I get lazy.. yeah (stop laughing)... so when I start getting less enthusiastic about this project, I figured it would be a great idea to include a few links to some of the bookplate sites that I liked.

If I ever want to pay for my bookplates.. er I mean professionally done plates;

Bookplate Ink

The title of the page should say it all. Bookplate Bonanza is a list of sites that has printable bookplates.

This site I really like, it is a collection of printable bookplates, arranged by size.

Below I have included my "Own" book shelf. That's right I own these books! And no, I'm not going to loan them out to just anybody, I have to organize and give them their bookplates but now you know why I totally had to make a Shelfari account.

Alright, that's all I got for right now, back to organizing.

Organizing Journals

Oh pinterest, how much time I waste on you... Oh well.. you have inspired me to try work in my journals and to organize them. Also, must work on smashbook.

Okay, yup, my journals...

   Constructively Destructive: Is my "Wreck This Journal" journal. I decided to leave my original Wreck This Journal in fairly good condition and instead alter a book to be my wrecking journal. As much as I love this idea, it does not work so well when if I can't find my original "Wreck This Journal".

   Friendship Journal: This one I share with two other people and at the moment I am not sure of it's currant location, it's either in Missouri or Southern California right now.
