Recently I discovered a book by Keri Smith (who created Wreck This Journal, which everyone seems to be into right now) called How To Be An Explorer Of The World. It certainly piqued my interest. On our most recent trip to a book store, Honey Bunny purchased it, yayness! We're going on a trip to West Virginia this upcoming weekend to celebrate our one year anniversary (wha hoo, go us!). This book is totes coming along for the journey!
I was inspired to bust out the markers and do some work in one of my journals.
I think instead of writing in the actual Explorer book, I'm going to bring along a couple of new Composition books so we both can partake in ~exploring~ in our individual ways. Plus I can't bring myself to write in the printed book, eak! At least not yet. I think it'd be fun for us to have our own books, especially using them each time we take a trip somewhere. Or heck, even just everyday life as the book is intended. Idk, I have all of these vivid daydreams on going on adventures in new places. The book is intended to help you see the beauty and uniqueness of even mundane things you do or come across every day of your life. I need to wake up those creative forces!
And to continue on this topic, I've been getting into art journaling lately. It seems like such an obvious habit but it never really occurred to me until I stumbled upon some videos on Youtube focusing on it and sharing ideas. The pathetic thing is that I used to do this back in junior high and high school but got out of the habit when I went off to college. Yeah, I fell like I lost a lot of creativity or had to put it on the back burner when I was going through college. I'm still struggling to unleash it. However, it's slowly coming back (yay!).
