autumn bliss

this weekend i´ve been hiking

all those greens and oranges and browns and greys (pantone palette is minimal compared with such landscapes) mixed with the blue sky and that wonderful autumn light...inevitably make my soul vibrate! we spend 8 hours walking and the day was gone in a flash

i don´t know if it is the ephemeral nature of this bliss that
compel us to enjoy it so deeply
but i guess that when you think something won´t last forever you strive to squeeze it to the full...

first photos of my first "remains of the day" journal

i finished my first ROD journal last weekend, but the weather was so rainy and the light so grey that i couldn´t take proper photos. i say my "first" because i´m already planning my "second", this is so addictive... i couldn´t wait to start filling it up so, althought i still have to do some of the first days of october back, i try to write something on it everyday

one of the things i´ve done to use what i already had is to print directly onto claudine hellmut sticky canvas some digital papers and use them as scraps or embellishmentsi make a collage of some different papers (these are from home tweet home-kimds at oscraps.com) and print them onto the canvas (i have a regular printer HP Photosmart)then i cut pieces that can be used like fabric and stitch over them and i also can use them like tape for instance in this page i left the back paper on so when i want to put a photo or something under it i´ll remove the paper and will stick the photo with the canvas and will be able to flip it over
now, this weekend my main goal is to clean and organize home so the crafting issues and the plans for making "my second" will have to wait for a while...

when i´m not walking i´m crafting

last weekend i embarked in a big adventure of walking...100 km!! we spend 20 hours and 33 min almost without stopping, just some minutes every now and then for having some food and drink. we started in the early morning on saturday and arrived on sunday at dawn, walking in the night along the forest is such a nice experience...i was tired but happy of having accomplished that challenge.
but this weekend i´m envisioning a relaxing crafting one at home... i hope i could go on with my journal project, i´m loving making my ROD journal and hopefully i will finish it tomorrow and will be able to start filling it as soon as posible (my idea was to start it on october 1st and include last weekend trip but i´m afraid i will have to make a "retrospective" ;-) so i´ll reserve the few first pages for it). this has been an amazing discovery and i´m in love with it.

have a great weekend!
