Hello Everyone. Today is the first day of my vacation. Tomorrow is the last day. I’m in Rexburg, Idaho, at my brother’s house with his 6 kids. My sister Barb is here also. My brother and his wife are on a adult sleepover in Spokane. So I get to play with my “Little’s.” I also played with them last Saturday. Amazingly enough, my sweet little 3 year-old boy, Zion” managed to give me a fat lip. I was catching him as he came down the slide, and I misjudged. His little head smacked into my face and I bit down really hard on my lip & nearly bit through it. I look like I have a big raspberry shaped stain above my lip, although it’s now draining into my lip. My list isn’t all that exact, but it is what I think of when I consider my fat lip experience. So, let’s talk lists:
- owie/ouchie
- pain
- ice bag
- talking out of the left side of my mouth
- making it difficult to spend all day on the phone at work
- pain medication
Let me show you the list ideas from the Creative Team. Mel N used an interview format to create lists of her children’s favorite things.
Kayla used a list of what her kid’s needed for back 2 school. Leading is a good thing to use when you want to make your list line up on a lined paper. She altered the letter Q to become a check mark!
Jenn V used different shapes to create her “list.”
Last up we have Jan who used #’s in her list to identify the different animals they saw on a vacation.Jan (Quilty Mom)
Chelle provided the following ideas about lists for your consideration.
- Sometimes your journaling doesn’t fit in a tidy paragraph.
- Sometimes your journaling isn’t complete sentences.
- Sometimes your journaling is just a few words or phrases.
- It’s time for a list.
Remember, when using a list for your journaling, the format of the items is important. In general you want the items in your list to be consistent. For example:
- Spinning
- Twirling
- Swaying
- Run←See? It doesn’t belong.
I look forward to seeing the designs you create using lists.
Hugs!
