So many things and I'm sure there are so many more that I've missed.  If you want to join but unsure on WHAT you want to do, it may be one of the above or it's given you an idea. 

HOW DO YOU JOIN IN?  Snap a photo while doing your 31 minutes or the finished project for the day and share on instagram using the hashtag #31minutesfor31days and #31minfor31days.  Or you could blog the round up each week, like I will be "aiming" to do as well as sharing on Instagram. Blogging is time consuming people, I almost need to use my 31 minutes just for that, haha.

FACEBOOK : I started a facebook group that is private, it's where you can come and share and encourage one another within the group, making new friends and sharing with old.  To join click HERE.

31 minutes for 31 days | in october 2019

This is the third time I'm hosting this project this year and that would make it sixth time all up.  I usually only host it once a year, but for 2019 I wanted to encourage more people to take time for themselves and honestly it was helping me. 

It's come to that time of year again, where lately I've been struggling to find my passion with crafting. I don't know if it's the change of season or what, but come this time of year I'm always in a love hate relationship with crafting.   I guess the year is winding down, the pressure of Christmas is on the horizon.  I seem to always without fail lose my creativity this time of year.

I really hope by sharing this a littler earlier, I know only a few days earlier, thanks Kellie, haha.  It can give you some time to think on what you'd like to do and any prep work you have to do before hand.  Sometimes the more time you have the more you over think it, so technically I may have done you all a favor?  That's what I'm going to tell myself.

WHY JOIN? I guess I would ask yourself, why not?

I get it, you might be like me, you already feel like you are doing enough projects, why on earth would you add another one?  Doing something for yourself is pretty much the in thing lately right?  Self love and looking after one self is what people are talking about in twenty nineteen. 

But this isn't the why I think you should look at doing this project. 

The fact you are here and reading this blog post is the first step.  This project is to encourage you to take 31 minutes for 31 days to do something JUST FOR YOU and do it GUILT FREE!  Because you darn well deserve it!  With this project it's not about doing something new if that's not what you're about.  Already got too many projects?  Then use this time to work on them.  It's all about what works for you.  Want to start a something new?  This can be anything from a crafts, yoga, bubble bath, meditation, reading, listening to a podcast with a cuppa, going for a walk.... It really is what ever tickles your fancy, this is your time, you can do as you like.

HOW DO YOU JOIN IN?  Snap a photo while doing your 31 minutes or the finished project for the day and share on instagram using the hashtag #31minutesfor31days and #31minfor31days.  Or you could blog the round up each week, like I will be "aiming" to do as well as sharing on Instagram. Blogging is time consuming people, I almost need to use my 31 minutes just for that, haha.

IN A NUTSHELL : This is all about taking 31 minutes out of your day to do something completely for yourself.

31 minutes for 31 days | july | day 31

I took my #31minutesfor31days to design this pocket page card and work in my TN. I went for the double whammy for the home run!⁠  Always making to do lists, never finding anyone to do them. ⁠  I really enjoyed this project this time around.  I mean I liked it earlier this year also, but mixing things up this time around and not feeling pressure was great.  Setting a timer helped.  It also kept me accountable.  Only thing I sucked at was sharing within the facebook group.  So that is something I'm going to work at next time in October when we do it all again!

31 minutes for 31 days | july | day 31

31//31⁠. #31minutes31days AND THAT IS A WRAP! Last day for the 31 minutes for 31 days in July. Will be coming back in October. I'm actually going to try and keep going, not every day, HECK no. I'm going to "try" and once a week grab out a @studio_calico TN and set a timer and just keep it super simple, as I've really enjoyed the process.⁠  For this layout in my TN I've used a photo of my crafting because WHY not right? I've used the INSD stamp set from @kellie.stamps that will be coming to the store in August per requested, woot woot!⁠

31 minutes for 31 days | july | day 30

I'm so glad I mixed up my projects this time with the 31 minutes for 31 days.  It's helped me almost use all of a Studio Calico TN.  Now only one more day to go?! WHAT!  Boy did July fly on bye.  I kept this layout SUPER simple and came in under time today which worked out well with getting the book work done on time for once. For this I've used the stamp set Get It Girl from Kellie Stamps.

31 minutes for 31 days | july | day 29

I yet again worked in my travelers notebook from @studio_calico. This was my first time trying an iced long black and it was not what I expected at all. But I will say I've since liked them more and more, just not from the cafe at Maccas, haha. For this I've used the stamp sets, Coffee Loading and Love Labels from @kellie.stamps.⁠

31 minutes for 31 days | july | day 28

I worked again in my travelers notebook from @studio_calico, for my 31 minutes for 31 days.  I have SO many photos of this cat of mine on my phone, it's almost embarrassing, lol.  Using the Life Lately and Lara Alpha stamp sets from my online store, @kellie.stamps⁠

  I took my #31minutesfor31days to design this pocket page card. I looooooove Macklemore.⁠ Now I'm singing Downtown in my head, welp that's going to be there all afternoon now.

Downtown⁠.

You don't want no beef, boy⁠.

Better follow me towards⁠.

I worked again in my travelers notebook from Studio Calico. The story behind this photo is, my mum ripped up her carpet a few months back to find out the floor was painted this colour. I LOVED it, she hated it. But I was not missing a chance for a perfect coffee photo opportunity, haha! Using the coffee loading stamp set from my online store, Kellie Stamps⁠

31 minutes for 31 days | july | day 16

Today I created this layout in the same travelers notebook I've been using from Studio Calico. I've kept it super simple this time. I spent more time trying to add embellishments that I just kept taking away, it wasn't working and so I decided to leave as it. I've been getting the @gettoworkbook since it was first released. Every time I've always gone with the kraft. This year I went black and I absolutely love it!⁠
