Finally proper winter with lots of snow is here, so I'm enjoying creating wintery layouts. I don't want to forget such great moments as Mati having fun sledging down our drive all on his own ;-) and it's great to be able to cherish little everyday joys as a cup of hot cocoa and find some time to shoot what i love: little still life arrangements on my desktop. Agnes Biro came up with great sets of new white paint brushes so now I can play to my heart content adding painterly effects to my pages. And there are lots of great other new kits this week at DHD so I'll be back with some new pages soon.
have a great day
snowy greetings

journaling reads:

seeing past the chaos

and discover
a tiny whisper of wonder, of calm,
I am transported
to the place within myself
where reverie lives.

na Scrapujących Polkach ruszyły od nowego roku na dobre wyzwania art journalowe - z nowym zespołem projektantek tworzących super inspirujące stronki - mam nadzieję, że zmotywuje mnie to do bardziej regularnego art journalowania w tym roku.
temat pierwszy był zbyt nęcący bo go zignorować : koniec ... początek - więcej szczegółów tutaj

On Scrapujące Polki website we have wonderful new designers at Art Journal section who will challenge and inspire us weekly from now on. Hope this will motivate me to create more art journal pages in 2012 . Here above is the first one - the topic was too good to miss it - the END ... the BEGINNING - if you want to see more great pages and join us - here are the details ...

and new month means new challenges at DHD - here's my layout for January journaling challenge. As you probably already know I don't like writing so I usually skip journaling challenges but this one I liked as the topic is really worth pondering and putting down to paper (or disc ;-) : think of one thing you wouldn't change about yourself or your year. Do You have such a thing? give it a thought ...

Today's page is about dreaming - as at this time of the year we tend to believe in magic more often and that our dreams little and big can be fulfilled . So maybe it's good time to think what we really want for ourselves and others. Then you can try to look for a star today and make a wish and I hope I'll come true.

In the photo on my today's page there's a leaflet promoting the new great Polish Christmas movie - Listy do M ( letters to S - like in Santa;-) Lots of great scenes and life stories there but what I loved most was this theme song - an absolutely wonderful version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow sung by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'.

just a quick post to wish you a good day

2011-12-22T12:45:00.004+01:00

That's what I'd like to do ;-) but no time for sleeping now ;-) and still not enough time for scrapping my Daily December pages - so today just this photo and a shot of my centrepiece I did yesterday - more decorations will be put up today/tomorrow.

have a wonderful day - and don't get too caught up in the hectic pace of the last days before Christmas - keep breathing and smiling ;-)

and some soothing music for you to keep the right perspective - from my fave Christmas movie _ Love Actually - All You Need Is Love

Nowe wyzwanie u Scrapujących Polek - Digital #12 - chlapanie i doodlowanie - kartka z notatnika - czyli coś co lubię najbardziej ;-) Ja łącząc przyjemne z pożytecznym zrobiłam sobie tapetkę na styczeń.
Coraz więcej zajęć, więc grudniownik trochę zaniedbany, ale zdjęcia robię, więc może nawet dziś jakaś nowa stronka wpadnie.
Tymczasem ponieważ u mnie w końcu spadło odrobinę śniegu - piosenka śniegowa na dobry początek dnia - Na całej połaci śnieg - w wersji A.M.Jopek ;-)

As I'm more busy now I'm a bit behind with my December journal - but I've been taking daily photos so maybe even today a new page will appear.
And for now - a song. Today finally, we've got a bit snow here so the song is just about it - Everywhere Snow by Anna Maria Jopek. Have a great day!

Yesterday's prompt on Journal Your December blog was Winter Evenings. I don't like when it's dark and always wait for longer days, but I must admit December cozy long evenings have their charm too. Especially when you have your decorations on and candles and lights up and listen to some nice Christmasy tunes while crafting or watching a fave movie. That's exactly what I like doing during those long dark winter hours. Although this year I take a break from sitting to go to the gym too as I've got back into fitness groove and exercising makes me happy (not to mention my back which likes it even more ;-)

So today for a long Sunday afternoon and evening - a nice song to get us into this lazy and relaxing mood - Michael Buble singing Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

Journal Your December - day 14 &15

Warning - this post is going to be really long ;-)

First my double page from 14/12 - it's about my fave Christmas smells - cinnamon, chocolate and orange ( I have this wonderful smelling orange-chocolate candle ;-) Those yummy odours make me feel christmasy = cheerful and relaxed. I love the smell of fresh pine too but this is not here yet ...

And these pages are on the yesterday's topic on Journal Your December - how do you collect your Christmas memories? For me the main medium is photography - I just snap a photo a day ( in fact more than one ;-) and in this way capture and express my feelings and thoughts this year. I found two great quotes that are perfect add ons as they speak beautifully about what I'd love to be able to do - to keep this holiday spirit and memories in my heart everyday and not only in December.

My page on 11th Dec Journal Your December prompt - decorations. Making decorations and decorating my house for Christmas is definitely my fave part of holiday preparations. Of course I often have more ideas than time to make it come true. But I can't imagine my home not wearing this special holiday cheer "outfit". It makes my spirit bright - always. I like especially lights as they create this warm and magic atmosphere. I haven't put up much of my decor so far, I usually do it just before Christmas. I also haven't decided if to have a traditional Christmas tree this year or maybe just a tree branch with some decor as I've seen this idea and liked it a lot. So yesterday to get into holiday mood I shoot a few selfies with me as a Christmas tree ;-) and as there's still no sight of snow here I used a great new free snowy texture by Florabella to get it at least on photos.
and if you need some inspo for both photos and decor - here's my pinterest board on Christmas.

and some music for you. By now I've got totally addicted to the latest M.Buble Christmas cd - have been listening to it all days long but today - waiting for the snow - let's listen to Anna Maria Jopek and her song Biel (White)

Yesterday's topic on Journal Your December blog was - gratitude. As I've recently made two pages on that this time I just didn't go into making any lists of blessings. But I just put one of latest self-portraits - i just feel good here and now and I'm truly grateful for that!
Wishing you blessed Sunday I'm leaving you with another great song - this time by Diana Krall - Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep - I do believe it's always a much better option not only if you can't fall asleep ;-)

I'm a bit behind ... but weekend is coming so hopefully I'll be able to create and upload those missed pages.
Today's page is based on Journal Your December prompt : Christmas cards. This year is the first for a long time when I haven't had time to create my own cards. And it's always been one of my fave activities. The only one made so far is a digital one ... I like it but I know it's not as nice as to get a real one as I believe real cards with handwritten wishes are part of the magic of Christmas ...

Today's music link is HOLIDAY JAZZ RADIO - a holiday add on to one of my fave online radio stations. Enjoy the great tunes and get yourself in holiday mood!

Wczorajszy temat na Journal Your December to śnieg - oto moje abstrakcyjne skojarzenia śniegowe - uwielbiam jak jest biało wokoło i płatki się skrzą w słońcu bo świat wygląda magicznie, ale niestety odkąd jeżdzę autem to jakoś niezbyt lubię jak pada i zasypuje ulice. Zawsze jednak marzę o białych świętach.

Yesterday's topic on Journal Your December was "let it snow". Above my pages with some words that I associate with snow. In general I love when the world is covered in white and snowfalkes are falling and sparkling in the sun - that's pure magic. Hovever, since I've been driving I hate snowy and icy road. But just as Bing Crosby I always dream of white christmas.

I've decided today to go again with Picture Holiday prompt - it's about finding and photographing things that allow you to be grounded and stay calm in the midst of our hectic lives and now during this busy season. For me it is and always will be music - and a cup of fave tea will help too ;-)

Journal Your December blog's speaks about gift lists and giving - some great thoughts on that - I'm really behind with cards and presents this year so i definitely need to make my list quickly ;-)

and music for today - some songs from latest Michael Buble Christmas album - his voice is definitely one of the few that always makes me feel good ;-)

Today's pages are inspired by today's prompt from Picture Your Holiday class - which is ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. I found a fake branch among my holiday decor and made a quick heart from it and then shot a few pictures with the heart - more as usual on my flickr.

The text is from the lyrics of Give Love by Third Day - one of my fave Christian rock bands
