.......TV Doodling
Last night I decided I was going to decorate the cover of my Anti Journal. I did it whilst watching TV and catching up with Downton Abbey. The programme was gripping and the doodling was very relaxing; I am pleased with the result.
I used Sharpie pens,
and drank some Lady Grey tea. I am sharing this post with the lovely Tea group over on Elizabeth's blog. If you pop over there you could blog hop to see what everyone's been up to, and maybe join in too.
The front.
The arrow, bottom right, said 'Start Creating Here'. I wrote over it so it says 'Mo Woz Here'. It's not very clear, but I know it's there :)
The Back
Thanks very much for popping in for a look. I appreciate your visit and any comments you leave are most welcome!
Ta Ta For Now
((hugs)) :o) x
Is lady grey different from Earl Grey? I love bergamot . thanks for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Robyn. Lady Grey has citrus flavours. But ever so subtle. Delicious.
DeleteYou definitely made this anti-journal your own. I think it's brilliant. Your tea and Sharpies really made me smile. Beautiful colors, including the tea.
ReplyDeleteYes, please ask Wee Man to share his tea set with us next week. It would be fun to add him to our T group, too.
Thanks for sharing the journal cover and tea with us this not quite Tuesday.
Thank you Elizabeth; it is actually Tuesday already for me. I will tell Wee Man, he has been invited :o))
DeleteHappy T Day :D
Sounds like you had a fun evening, and made your journal very special at the same time. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Valerie ((hugs)) :o)
DeleteThis journal is certainly getting your mojo going again. Your cover looks great. I love what you did with the arrow.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol.. I'm excited to be creating again :o))
DeleteI love both lady grey and earl grey tea. I cannot doodle to save my life, I think its because I am OCD and everything will have to be perfect so I could not watch tv as well. Love your doodling
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Bridget. They are my two favourite teas :o))
DeleteI confess I had to open my English-Portuguese dictionary to understand what twaddle was and I am glad I've learnt another word in English. Love your anti-journal page!It's sweet!I don't Lady Grey tea but it must be wonderful. Here we drink coffee more than tea but we love both.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karla, I like to learn new words too.
DeleteI enjoyed your journal page. Your lettering is really good :o))
I love squares and your doodled squares are lovely and colourful.
ReplyDeleteI like "Mo Woz Here" - you've definitely made the book your own now.
Thank you kindly Sheila. '? Woz Here' was a very popular form of graffiti many years ago. I thought it fun to add it there. :o))
DeleteI like all the variety of boxes--looks like it was a very relaxing project. The alphabet letters are really nice! Happy T Day and Hi to Wee Man!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Debbie :o))
DeleteI love your fishy pages :o))
Although I am not familiar with the "anti journal" I LOVE the covers!! Isn't Downton Abbey great? As soon as I finish watching the latest episode I'm already longing for the next:) Lady Grey is a lovely tea. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. Yes, Downton is very addictive. We've only been watching for a couple of weeks, but are on Season three already, lol. We will soon catch up with everyone else and then be desperate for the next episode! :o))
DeleteDoodling and tv sound like a fun evening. I like the way you indicated the front and back with the Start and End. Clever.
ReplyDeleteDarla
Thanks for visiting Darla and your kind comments :D
DeleteI often doodle in front of the TV too. You Anti Journal turned out spectacular! Looking forward to seeing what you do to the insides.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the earlier visit this week. When the I have finished the backs of the ATCs I'll send you an email and get your addy.
Thank you very much Krisha. Your ATC's are gorgeous! :o))
DeleteYour email button doesn't seem to work.
ReplyDeleteemail me at lmogle1950 (at) yahoo.com with your address
Glad we got it sorted Krisha :D
DeleteI can't think of a better way to spend an relaxing evening! I love how you personalised the journal, it looks wonderful and it looks very inviting now. Your tea looks pretty good too! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne. I can't just sit and watch the goggle box, so I always have something on the go. When I lost my mojo I was colouring pre printed postcards, lol. xx
DeleteGreat minds again! I was doodling while watching TV last night too. ; ) Have a great day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela. You were busy crocheting too I see from your gorgeous pics :D xox
DeleteWhat a nice time you had with fun doodling to show for it.
ReplyDeleteI am a Downton fan too...it is so well done down to the last detail.
Happy T Day
oxo
Thanks Patty :D I get so lost in Downton, I can really imagine being there. It's very well done isn't it :D
DeleteLove your anti-journal ♥ I do a lot of my creative projects while semi watching TV. Not a good setter. :) The tea sounds delish.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think most crafters are like that aren't they. Even when my mojo disappeared I was colouring pre-printed postcards :D
DeleteI just love the idea of an "anti-journal". It sounds like it might be a good starting place for someone who hasn't done any creative art work for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThat was just the reason my friend bought it for me. My mojo disappeared and I couldn't get going on anything really. Glad you like it.
DeleteHa I love this, so much fun!! I love doodling with sharpies!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Caz! ((hugs))
DeleteNow that is laying claim to a book--LOL! And while watching Downton--what could be more fun!! (Has been quite eventful so far this year.) Happy T-Day! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Rita. Glad you're enjoying Downton too :o))
DeleteHello and Happy T Day! I love this journal, it's been on my wish list. Great job on the cover, looks GREAT!! I put my sharpies to work today also and had my tea, YAY!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Dawn. I hope you get an Anti Journal too :o))
DeleteHappy T day! Thursday is a T day right?? Love what your doing with your journal.
ReplyDeleteLol - yes Halle Thursday is a T day ;) Thank you for your kind words ((hugs))
DeleteI can't believe what a fantastic job you've done on decorating the cover of your book. You've got real imagination xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn - I rely a lot on Pinteest and Google for ideas :o) xx
