autumn minibook: final update

Here's the final update of my Fall Twenty Eleven Minibook. It was a great joy but I'm looking forward to moving on to my winter minibook(more about it tomorrow). This book was fun because I tried some new techniques - like glitter, stickles, pressed leaves, and I wrote most texts myself (although I don't like my handwriting).
I left a couple of blank pages, did not incorporate all the pages that were originally in the minibook, and I left out many many things. Which is okay, because it only gives a small glimpse of what my fall was like . We've had a lot of rain in the past weeks (welcome to Vancouver) which, sadly, really limited the number of pictures I took. Hopefully that will change in the next weeks :)

autumn minibook: first pages

After the 30 Days of Lists project I really missed journaling regularly. I was really happy when my autumn 2011 minibook arrived so I had an excuse to have a messy desk and lots of papers, washi tape rolls and glitter spread all over my room :)

Here are all the pages I made so far:

It's a good day

Today was a good day. It started very early with an early morning yoga class and afterwards a delicious (and rather healthy) breakfast at my favorite Starbucks store. It's been bright and sunny all day so I took a walk, collected leaves to dry and snapped some dreamy fall photos. I skyped with my mom and realized how great my life here in Canada is and that it feels like home already. I checked my mailbox and found this:



The autumn minibook I ordered from Elise arrived - I didn't expect it to arrive until next week! Also, I got the grade for my economics midterm and it's much better than expected. My friend Katja got a package from Germany that contained lots of tea, gingerbread, bread, etc. and she's willing to share it with me <3



And I ate lots of fruits today - I miss fresh food so so much! Is there anything more delicious than a fresh, ripe pomegranate? I started watching a new tv series today - 'New Girl' and it's hilarious. You should give it a try :) I'm gonna watch another episode now and make a couple of pages for my autumn minibook <3 Oh and I started a new shawl yesterday - I love working with soft yarns!

Hope you had a great day, too!
