What's in my toolbox?


Open the lid to find:
numerous gel pens
my only roll of washi tape
multipurpose tool from Creative Memories (handy item when gluing small things).  
pencil sharpener
post it note tabs (used for indicating where collections are throughout my journal 
a green highlighter
a yellow highlighter with post it tabs
my worm book mark
a mechanical pencil
Take out the tray and we encounter the rest of the markers and post it notes in my collection:
50 Artist Loft markers
Creative Memories fine and round tip primary color markers
Creative Memories jewel tone markers with round tip
Crayola glitter markers
Micron black markers in various sizes
calligraphy marker in black with 2 tips
scissors
protractor
the other thing that makes circles...name escapes me at this moment
post it notes in various sizes, ruled and unruled in a good combination of colors
glue dots
cricut cutouts I use as stencils

I also have a pencil case that I take on the road with me.  Some of the items mentioned here are not found here because they are in this case. 

The part I find amazing is that I had most of these items already they just weren't organized or together.  I did get more post it notes and some markers since I started my journalling journey.  Luckily for me finding journal supplies in Nicaragua is not nearly as easy as it is in the first world.

I can say this is enough for me.....I have what I need.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
