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.

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....

August 2017: No More Practice Journal

Taking a break after setting up for August. Lovin' life at the beach. He knew just what I wanted. At the end of the rainbow! Where the butterflies fly and the habit trackers track... There's a bi-weekly vertical dutch door set up with lots of list space on the other side.  I have a number of items that happen every week and being a bullet journal, meant to be about productivity, I really don't want to write them every week. They fit great in the left margin. These are the beginning of some collections I am working on for the year.   The @ is for my websites page views and blog post dates.  The yoga man is for tracking my teacher hours, but I have not figured out how to create something to color here and incorporate the information I want to keep.  Like me on facebook:  onawhimnicaragua . Help color another lotus petal....
