Jumping in....


Hope and I are journal buddies and she told me about this book Style Statement. It seemed like a really fun exercise to go through a bunch of questions and come up with two words that integrate various aspects of your being into an effective balance. I was ready to jump right in!

"Your style statement defines your authentic self. It is a compass for making more powerful choices, a guide for designing a life that reflects your whole being. An anchor, a symbol, a mantra. A declaration, and affirmation, a reminder.
You, fully expressed."


I am working through all the questions in a notebook and then working with images and just a few words to summarize in my art journal. Here are the first two sections (of eight!!) that I have completed.

Home
+
Stuff


Fashion
+
Sensuality

I love that two word thing... makes me think...
Home = Feathered Nest
Stuff = Yummy Goodness
Fashion = What's that?
and so on... Love this!

Oh how wonderful! I love seeing your journals and your style. I'm afraid I don't have a style in my home. I plan to get one this year. It's a goal anyway...

I just went and bought the book at lunch! I have been looking for something like this to help me journal and share myself with my children later in life. I will keep you posted on how it goes. I am hoping there are directions that show you different ways to do this? I am not sure how!

Oh I love these sweaters. I've been revamping some lately. They are addiciting. I love the red one with giant leaves and flowers....maybe that idea will be my next!
