Currently August 2021
August was a pleasantly busy month even though it feels like everything is in this world/life is unstable. We did some traveling to the east coast and then to Carmel. School started, my birthday happened and we are back in our regular routine, COVID permitting.
WHAT A YEAR + THIS HAS BEEN!
Let’s Take a Dip into the past!
Let’s look into my Currently August 2021 spread in my currently workbook.
August is my birthday month and I turned 42!
I used a lot of pens on my pages.
The black was thanks to black gesso and I added gold star stickers on top.
FULL-ON ORANGE!!
I was able to make it all orange by putting a layer down of my favorite colored pencil and then using a crayola marker on top.
It was so satisfying!
I suffered a leaky water bottle in my bag last month so I have a bit of bleed-through at the top of my workbook.
I am just glad it didn’t ruin the whole thing. I would have been SO UPSET.
Boop!
Let’s break it down.
Inspired By:
My son hitting 3 home runs and a grand slam and making it to the championship in Cooperstown!
I am so amazed by his stamina, his drive, and his talent in baseball!
Daydreaming about living life on the east coast.
Casey’s Dad sure is CUTE in his yard!
Felt very inspired by tree magic on respite with my family in Carmel Valley thanks to Jessica!
I was able to connect with my spirit again!
I had the time to work in my sketchbook and daydream.
Watching:
Roadrunner- I miss Anthony Bourdain. This movie stuck with me for a week!
Ted Lasso- I enjoy the positivity!
Manifest- Watched a lot with Cooper but then we got a bit bored.
Outer Banks– Cooper has one more episode to finish…he is holding out
The White Lotus– LOVED
Atypical: Almost finished the latest season
Barb & Star Go to Vista del Mar– I watched this on an airplane and wasn’t mad that I didn’t finish it.
