Day 1: Greetings From - Summer Vacation (A Survival Guide)

Started this practice on days of overwhelm so wasn't surprised when this was the first idea that popped in my head for this prompt. It was the last 2 weeks of vacation and this practice helped me enjoy it :)

Day 2: Past - A journey in journals

I thoroughly enjoyed making this spread. Actually removed all my old journals and held them and said thanks while I drew them out. Tried my best to capture the essence and special personality of each of them. This prompt made me want to spread out to two pages so I allowed a little rule bending to fit them all.

Day 3: Present

I love these kinds of pages, just a random collection of things that captures a day or in this case a whole weekend of events.

Day 4: Future - Decorating the new house

This one helped me beyond the unending pinterest board to get at the vibe I wanted for the new house. This sketch is etched in my head.

Day 5: Mindful of

My favourite grounding exercise I keep recommending to clients was extra fun to do myself in this way. Drawing is my meditation.

Day 6: Favourite Colour - All Shades of Purple

Went a bit into my washi collection for this background but was so much fun drawing my upcoming birthday outfit which is also in these shades. I look a lot like me if I may say so myself :P

Day 7: Things my son says

I am glad I could capture these, my son always cracks me up with his comments and observations.

Day 11: A Map of all the places I have been to

Cheated a bit on this one and used a map from an old diary which did not leave much scope for doodling but I thoroughly enjoyed the jog down memory lane and actually seeing my travels on a map.

Was apprehensive at first as I started this one but loved the process and even how the [age turned out in the end.

Day 14: A Dream

I was rather surprised how much this one moved me. just admitting you want something can be so freeing and this prompt helped me feel that.

I love Dylan's classes! They are so affirming and fun and I wait eagerly for each new release. Thanks a tonne for this lovely class :)
