Five weeks!
\nI’ve been away from my blog for over five weeks!<\/p>\n

What did I say in my last blogpost? I would take a blogbreak to “…handle and get rid of the the loose ends of the past year…<\/em>“ <\/em>Yah, right. But I certainly did not plan my break to last this long… Ah well, you know how it is. You read a book, do some cleaning, take a walk, cook a diner and before you know it weeks have gone by… and let me tell you already; my blogging will certainly show more gaps this year as 2014 will be the year of change for me. For one: we will definitely move houses. I don’t know where we will end up, but I’m sure the moving process in the near future will keep me from blogging yet again.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we’re not that far yet so today I’m here. And yes, I DID get “rid of some loose ends of 2013.” I even created new art journal pages and started working on a new project as well…\u00a0 not to forget that I also re-designed my website (it’s about finished, the old site will be replaced with the new later this week!) But let’s not reveal everything at once…<\/p>\n

Today I show you the last weeks\/pages in my “Chronicles” art journal for 2013. I’m not satisfied about all of these pages, but that is also the charm of my Chronicles weekly art journal: working in it teaches me to let go, get the sh*t out, turn the page and move on to the next week. It’s a bit like real life, really…<\/p>\n

Chronicles 2013 – Week 50<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chronicles 2013 – Last page
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2013-week52-b-lastpage\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s something funny going on with these last pages in my Chronicles journal. Ever since I started working in these “Chronicles” year books, I glued a picture of myself – taken on one of the last days of the year – on the last page, and every year I can’t help but dislike that photo… or better: dislike the wrinkles, the double chin and the bags under my eyes that become darker with each year that passes. However, the strange thing is that when I look back at the photo’s taken in former years, I do like the pics that I see there… the photo that I hated in 2012, seems nice to me now. Aawww… where will that leave me when I’m eighty? Will I think of myself as\u00a0 ‘a youngster’ when I see the above photo then? Probably! And what to think of my son? What will HE think of himself when he sees this photo 30 years from now?<\/p>\n

OK. That was IT for today. I’m back. Wrinkles and all…
\nHope you’re glad about it (I mean, about me being back blogging, not the wrinkles \ud83d\ude09 )
\nSee ya later this week!<\/p>\n
