Journaling Quotes

Mary asks…

Do you keep a book of  journaling quotes?

In my continuing effort to improve myself, I started journaling to sort out my thoughts. I don't write in it every day, but it's there when I need it. I also started a little book in which I write life lessons, inspirational journaling quotes, etc. I just have to remember to look at it every day. Do you do anything like this?

Scrappy answers:

I've kept journals on and off for years of notes about my life and that of family/friends, prayers & requests/needs, quotes or sayings, poems, etc. I have one now I make notes in like that. Sometimes I get a 'light bulb moment' and I like to get it down in writing before it's gone. I think writing things out helps me remember them.

Sharon asks…

Question about Journaling?

Wow, I've tried journaling ever since I was little. I really cannot get into it, I don't think it's something I really want to do, but I thought I'd give it a go again. I think it's the pretty blank books that catch my eye. What else could I use this for? I tried  journaling quotes in it but that seems as if it will take forever and I don't really want to search for them and I'll probably never look for them. I was thinking of drawing in it but the paper is quite thin and what if the pencil gets smudged? Any ideas how I can not waste this delightful book?

Scrappy answers:

If you use it as a diary, it's good just for venting.
Journaling quotes is a good idea, check out coolquotes.com.
You could do a mix of stuff. Quotes, drawings, doodles.
I love to write stories, and I find my pretty journals quite useful for them.
I agree, I really love shopping for journals. They just draw me in. They are pretty and the blank pages hold so much potential =)

Ruth asks…

HELP, it's almost Father's Day and...?

My son is a Father-to-Be and I am making a Father's Day gift or him.

It's a book made up of journaling pages, pages of questions about himself, and pages of letters from his closest family members.

The purpose of the book in the short run is for him to do some self-discovery through answering the questions and journaling, and the letters will remind him that he is not alone. For later, it will be something he can look back on to measure his growth. Ultimately, I want it to be something he will give to his child, so the child will get to know who his father was at this time in his life. And, hopefully, it will be taken care of and passed on.

The journaling pages is where I need your help. I will put a quote on each journaling page, and I'm trying to decide which types of quotes go best with the overall theme of the book. I gathered quotes about being a father, journaling quotes about babies and raising kids, and inspirational everyday quotes.

An example of a father quote is "You will find that if you really try to be a father, your children will meet you half way"

An example of a baby quote is "A baby is God's opinion that life should go on"

An example of an everyday quote is "It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves"

They are all relevant in different ways, but which type(s) do you think go best with the overall theme and purpose of the book? Also, feel ree to make suggestions on other things I might include in the book and/or ideas for a nice cover design.

Thanks!

I ADORE your gift!!! I wish I had the time to put something like that together for my husband!! Amazing, creative, inspiring!! Awesome job!

As for quotes, I love the sentimental and inspiring path you're taking with the quotes, but maybe include a couple of silly ones in between the not-so-silly quotes. I love to laugh, so I'm always searching for silly, quirky quotes online. For example, "Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected." - Red Buttons.

After looking at a couple of websites, I picked a few out that I think may be suitable for your gift:

"Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow." ~Reed Markham

"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." ~Charles Wadsworth

"A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be". ~Frank A. Clark

"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." ~Rev. Theodore Hesburgh <---Love this one!

"Newlyweds become oldyweds, and oldyweds are the reasons that families work." ~Author Unknown

"You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back." ~William D. Tammeus

"Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy." ~Robert A. Heinlein

"If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others." ~Haim Ginott

I have to say, I've had the most fun answering this question! Good luck to you, and congratulations to your son on his first Father's Day. <3

Maria asks…

how do i transfer font onto a photo?

Okay so i have recently gotten into scrap-booking with my mother and sister. I was looking through some sample pages to get some inspiration and i saw some journaling that was really interesting. On a printed photo that was previously printed, this woman had her journaling in a white space on the photo. So my question is, how the heck did she get this printed tahoma font off the computer and transferred onto this photo? I know they have rub on journaling quotes and things you can buy, but this was her journaling like in her own words. It may be a really simple answer but i just can't get my head around it. Please help!
clearly i didn't write the question the right way i guess...what i mean is say i have this old photo already printed out...how do i print text off a computer then transfer said text onto a photo...not using photo shop or anything, simply printing out text then transferring that text onto a previously developed picture...

Scrappy answers:

In most operating systems you can do this quite easily. In Windows, for example there is a built in program (accessories -> Paint.) In linux you have a program called GIMP.

These will let you open the photo or picture for editing and allow you to overlay it with some text, in any available font and colour.

Hope this helps :)
