Art Journal Prompt fpr this week!

Here we are at our last art journal prompt of the month. The talented Miss Sarah Elliott has the following for us to create by..

Silver Sixpence in her Shoe.

Ahhh… Money & Luck… do you have them: Together? Separately? Not at all? Or perhaps have a technique that you feels gives you luck? What is the Sixpence in YOUR shoe?

If you wish to join the flickr group that has been made for the Your Life Spelled Out journal prompts please email me with your email address and I will send you out an invitation right away.

Be sure to visit Sarah's blog at www.keepsakecrafts.blogspot.com

THANK YOU Sarah. We have enjoyed our inspiration during the month of July.

Let's Pretend

Today let's pretend that this weekend (all day Saturday and Sunday) belong to you. You can do whatever you wish. You have no where you have to be and no one you need to take care of but yourself (remember we are only pretending )! What would you do?

Have a Happy Day!

Sending Love,
Susan

And First Place Goes To....

What comes FIRST in your life?

If that is a hard question to answer look at where or with who you spend the most amount of your time, what and who you spend your money on,what or who you think about most of the time. We can say our priorities are aligned but it is in our actions that the real story is revealed.

This is often tough for me to look at but I try to ask myself this question at least four times a year to make sure I get back on the right track if I have slipped off.

Have a fantastic day!

Sending Love,
Susan

A Grateful Heart!

It is that time of the month again. Write 10 things in your journal that you are grateful for. Remember, they can not be duplicates of the things you have written in earlier months this year. They must be new.

For those of you that are new, we have a day each month where we write 10 things in our journal that we are grateful for and why you are grateful if you wish. Then at the end of 2010 you will be able to look at 120 things that you are grateful for or that you consider blessings in your life. What a great way that will be to start 2011.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Sending Love,
Susan

Discrimination

Our prompt today will be about discrimination. Has there ever been a time in your life that you have felt discriminated against? Why? Here's a tough question. Have you ever discriminated against someone ? Why?

I had the honor of attending the Miss Wheelchair USA this past Saturday night. My husband was one of the judges. One of the contestants platform was on discrimination. Her parting words were "Disability does not discriminate against people, so don't discriminate against people with disability".

Wow!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Sending Love,
Susan

Open or Folded Arms?

Our prompt today is to describe what you think of when you here the words Open Arms. Now describe what you think of when you hear the words Folded Arms?

Now look at the way you connect with people. Would they say you have open, welcoming arms or folded, closed arms? Why do you think that is?

Have a lovely Sunday!

Sending Love,

When you get what you want in your struggle for self

And the world makes you queen for a day,

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself

And see what that girl has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or husband

Who judgment upon you must pass;

The girl whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people may think your a straight-shootin' girl

And call you a wonderful gal,

But the girl in the glass says you're only a bum

If you can't look her straight in the eye.

She's the one to please, never mind all the rest,

For she's with you clear up to the end.

And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test

If the girl in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life

And get pats on your back as you pass.

But your final reward will be heartaches and tears

If you've cheated the girl in the glass.

So your prompt today is to write this in your journal and write what kind of emotions you were feeling when you read it the first time. Are you cheating the girl in the glass?

The original poem was called man in the glass..I changed it around just a bit.

Don't forget about the give away on Friday. All you need to do is post a comment to qualify. Have a blessed day.

Sending Love,
Susan

The sunny side of life!

So, it's 7:00 p.m. on the 20th of July. How was your day? Did your day reflect your attitude that you started your day off with? Our prompt today is to remember a time when your attitude made a difference (one way or another) in the kind of day, night, week or time you had.

If the day was not so good don't forget you can start it over any time you wish.

You can change the day you have by the way you think.

Have a great day/night.

Sending Love,
Susan

What's So Important?

Our prompt today is to list your priorities as they look TODAY. Our priorities change over time. For examle, just 5 years ago one of my biggest priorites was to be at every show choir event and spend one on one quality time weekly with my youngest daughter. She is now married and still a big priority but now it is to spend one on one quality time at the minimum of once a month due to her schedule.

It is important to define your priorities so that you can stay true to them. We will talk more about that on Friday.

Did your words and actions reflect the person you want to be?Think about the words that came out of your mouth. Were you negative,critical,judgmental,perverse? Is that really who you want to be? Do you owe anyone an apology? Did you make wise choices? Did you do anything to move towards a goal you may have or a project you are working on? Did you do anything at all for someone else or was it all about you today? Write all of this in your journal.

I promised!

I promised that we would have easy and fun prompts this weekend after a few tough prompts this week SO....

Here are a few thought provoking yet fun questions for you.

If you could leave tomorrow for a week and travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Who would you take with you?

What would you do there?

If you could have an hour of uninterrupted time with anyone in the world, who would it be?

What would you talk about?

Have a fun day!

Sending Love,

What dreams have your turned your back on?

An important person in my life quit last night. He went from king to someone with the reputation of giving up on a dream in a single moment. He broke hearts and made others angry for giving up.

The ramification of this single act will haunt him forever and will wipe out several years of being king. He probably will need to move to another state. I know he had no idea this would happen. His decision to quit was life changing for him.

When we quit, the ramifications are not usually that dramatic. Or are they ? When you quit or give up on your dream isn't it life changing? If you just stay the course (even when you are weary) and never give up or quit , think about how different your life could be.

Our prompt today is to think about times in your life your have quit. Maybe you had a list of resolutions and by March you had given up on all of them..EVERY YEAR!, maybe you have started to lose weight several time and gave up and the result is you still need to lose weight, maybe you quit school, collage or another dream. Whatever it is..write it down. Now if this is still a dream or a goal of yours write it down today. Commit to it. DON'T Quit, Don't give up on yourself or those around you. Write a plan that will help you reach your goals and dreams.Share here what your dream/goal is and that will really put your commitment to yourself and your dream out there and you will be even more accountable. I dare you!

Tough Stuff

Don't you just hate when someone holds you accountable for your actions?

Well, if you REALLY hate it you better stop reading now.

Do you like to blame others for ____________ (fill in the blank)?

Did you know that what your weight, your attitude, your bad habits, your lack of discipline, the way you treat others, your procrastination, your perfectionism, your addiction to ANYTHING, your shopping are ALL YOUR PROBLEM!!!

NO ONE makes you do or not do any of those thing.

I know, your thinking "How dare you, you don't know my circumstances", or," I HAVE to keep sweets in the house for my husband and he knows I can't resist them so it is his fault that I have a weight problem", or, "You would have a bad attitude towards men too if you had been through what I have been through", or,"Well if you knew the way she treated me you would understand why I act that way towards her".

Sorry...It is still all on you! Don't BLAME others for your life. It is not their life it is yours! The good new is, IT IS YOURS. You have the power to change the things about yourself that you do not like!

SO...our prompt today is to honestly look at what in our lives we have been blaming others for. You will never change your situation if you do not own it.

I know this is a tough one. It was very difficult for me too. I promise I will go easy on you over the weekend!

Have a peaceful day!

Sending Love,
Susan

The Basics Of Your Life

Imagine you are moving to another State or Country. You can only take 20 things (things not people) with you, what would they be and why? I learned a great deal about what was important to me by doing this prompt.

To All My Art Journalers and for those of you that would like to Art Journal but are not sure how to get started, please join me here
http://divascreativas.ning.com/group/artjournaling
where I will be teaching and prompting Art Journals. Go to the link to find out what you need to get started. We will begin our journey together on July 16th.

I can't believe I am already announcing this as I just packed up the last two give always to mail off, but we are only 4 followers away from another giveaway. SO, tell your friend to hop on over and join Your Life Spelled Out. As soon as we reach 325 combined followers I have a giveaway that I know everyone is going to want.

Have a blessed day!

Sending Love,
Susan

Are you TOO Busy?

Many of us suffer from burnout or overload. We are SO BUSY! The question we need to ask ourselves is do we have a choice about our schedules. Most of us we automatically say no, but I want you to dig deeper.

Diane (not her real name) tells me that she has no choice in her schedule because she has to take her children to school each day, drive her youngest to dance lessons on Monday's, then two of her children to piano lessons on Tuesday, her oldest to guitar lessons and her youngest to voice lessons on Wednesday, her middle so to basketball on Thursdays and on the weekends for games. She also is room mother for two of her 5 children, is on the PTA committee and teaches Sunday School..

I just grew weary typing it all!

She was unable to identify anything that she could change about her schedule. She felt hopeless.

So we took it one thing at a time. First of all I asked, are your children involved in too many activities? If you are feeling overwhelmed by your schedule, chances are they are too. Turns out, it was her idea for piano and voice and none of the children were thrilled about those activities. Did she have to be room mother for two children at once? Maybe she could do one this year and one the next or (GASP) none at all. Did she have to be on the PTA committee (something she herself admittedly dislike) or could she just be a paying member and not take on every activity the school does.

When we are the middle of our life it is difficult to see he choices we have. I am not discounting how difficult it is to make some of the hard choices to free up your time AND to lessen your stress.

I had to make some of those choices myself. I never allow myself to be on more than two Board of Directors at once. I have been on a total of four and I believe in and support every one of charities that I have belong to. It was hard for me to step down. Very hard. I have learned to say no, but that wisdom came at a very high cost. If I had not I am not sure my physical or mental health would have survived.

SO..your prompt today is to write down all of the "things" that make your life busy and then to honestly evaluate them and see what you can let go of. Write down what you think could happen if you continue to be too busy..This make take a while. You may need to set the journal down and come back to it later. The important thing is that you do it.

Life is so much clearer on paper.

Have a Stress Free day!

Sending Love,
Susan

A Bend In The Road

Most of us have had times in our lives when our plans were destroyed by a circumstance outside of our control. Maybe it was an illness, death of a loved one, divorce, a move that you were not expecting, loss of a job or _______ fill in the blank. Whatever it was, get out your journal and write about it in as much detail as you can. How did you feel? How did you make it through that time in your life? If you are experiencing it now, write down all of your feelings. If you are on the other side of it write about what you learned through the experience.

Have a Serene Monday.

Sending Love,
Susan

P.S. To all of my scrapping, art journaling readers I want you to know that I am o the Administrative Design Team over at Creative Scrapbooking Divas and will be starting an Art Journal group there soon.

Freedom

I wanted to have a prompt that was associated with the 4th of July, but then I remembered I have followers on Your Life Spelled Out from all over the world.
So I thought our prompt today would be the word Freedom. What does that word mean to you? What are you free to do and not free to do? Why? I think it is evident in the United States that many of us take our freedom for granted. If you live in the USA are you guilty of taking your freedom for granted? What does the sentence Freedom is not Free mean to you?

That's a great deal to ponder.

To all of my American Friends out there, Happy 4th of July.
To all my Canadian friends out there, I hope you had a wonderful Canada Day!
To all the rest of my friends out there, may you have the BEST day ever!!

Sending Love,
Susan

In The Good Ole Summer Time

Our prompt today is to document the best summer memories that you have. Did you always go on vacation, go visit grandma, go swimming everyday, summer camp in the summer? Or maybe you best memories are in your adult years. What ever they are write them down.

Have a sunny Saturday !

Sending Love,
Susan

Our Guest Designer For This Month Sarah Elliott

Sarah is our Guest Designer for the Art Journal this month. I have uploaded her bio again and samples of her amazing art (from the heart).

Bio:

My name is Sarah Elliott and I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I’m mom to 4 boyz ages 12 down to 5 years old. Yes I’m busy, yes I’m tired… and don’t ask how ‘clean’ my house is. lol.

I’m getting married in September so life is even busier, but oh so fun! I often refer to myself as having ADAD (Attention Deficit Art Disorder) as you can see on my blog www.keepsakescrafts.blogspot.com I’m always up to something Art-sy.

I call myself a Mixed Media Artist because if I can find some way to craft it; I will…

I’m always Re-Using, Re-ducing & Re-decorating.

I’ve been creative my whole life, don’t think I could put a ‘date’ on when I started making Art, if my Mum’s right it’d be on the wall about the same time she gave my solid foods. I’m also a Summer lover ‘cause I get to play in the garden and I read lots & lots & lots… usually have 3-4 books on the go at any given time.

I chose 2010 as my year to ‘CREATE’ and so I’ve been dipping my toes into some new-to-me creative ponds. Art Journaling is ALL new to me in 2010.

I ran across Your Life Spelled Out at the beginning of the year through ~Artist 365~ on FaceBook. I was just starting to dip my toes into Art Journaling... now I'm pretty much soaked! lol

I use both the Art Journal Prompts, which I share publicly AND the Daily Journal Prompts, which I write and keep to myself.

I’m also busy as a Regular Design Team Member over at ARTastic Challenge Blog www.artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com and this Month’s Guest Designer on From Screen 2 Scrap (FS2S) www.screen2scrap.blogspot.com and was last month Guest Designer on Gutter Girlz www.guttergirlz.blogspot.com.
