So still no mojo...Today is Friday and I'm off work (flex schedules are GREAT). I'm *supposed* to be cleaning today but am wishing I could scrap. I'm hoping to finish early so I can have some fun. I do have some friends coming over tonight, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at some point today I'll find my lost mojo.
So what do I do in the mean time? I store up ideas...idea books, ideas for journaling, ideas for what ever I can think of. I would like to share a technique I use with you in the hope that it helps you with ideas from time to time.
I've talked about journaling before. Let's explore this a little more. I can't just pick up a pen and paper and start writing. BUT, my family does not live near me so I write them emails all the time about what's going on in my life (OK...mostly it's stuff about Erica). I'm pretty detailed in those emails. About a year ago I started saving those emails as documents on my computer. So now I have killed two bird with one stone: I keep my family updated on what's going on AND I have a ready made journaling story when I'm ready for it.
Give it a try...and let me know what YOU do in your journaling.

ardsmI keep our monthly calendar posted in the kitchen with all our information jotted on dates - meetings, parties, retreats birthdays, appointments even the sub-zero temperatures. I find it useful when I journal on the calendar pages we create.
oops...the ardsml is the word verification Not part of my comment!!!!
am crossing my fingers that my mojo will come back AFTER I pick up this hideous office ... oh, and after I get started on taxes :-( but I LOVE your idea on communicating through e-mail ... I send out lots of nmotes to family also, so just copying and pasting those into documents for myself would work GREAT!!! (I also like to save clippings and notes in a journal for future scrapping ... I dog-ear mags and rip out all kinds of things from cereal boxes to gift bags! ha!!)
