They say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb but what happened this year? Winter seems to have hung on until the very last minute. The clocks went forward for the start of British Summer time but someone forgot to tell the weather to change seasons! But finally the garden seems to be waking up. Crocus and daffodils are flowering all be it a bit late. What’s going on in your garden? Have you managed to get out and plant some seeds or plants for this summer?
And if it’s been a bit too cold and wet what about the house? Have you started the Spring cleaning? This month I’ve been busy decorating the bedroom and just putting the finishing touches to the decoration with new curtains and quilt covers. Have you done any work in your house you want to journal about?
In March we celebrate Mothering Sunday have you memories of the day this year you want to remember? Do you want to record some memories of the past of your Mum or Grandmother? Perhaps you want to record gifts given to you by your children.
And also this month we had Saint Patricks day. Do you celebrate this? If you do journal what happens in your household or what traditions you have.
I’ve been experimenting with various concoctions this month, for those thinking about art journaling try mixing media. Introduce paint, inks, chalks, pens and pencils onto your journal pages. Try using watercolour pens or pencils and see what effects you can create.
