I learned a new acronym the other day: TLDR
TLDR stands for Too long, didn't read".
''TLDR is an abbreviation for "too long; didn't read" that is used to indicate that the person posting about an article or other type of content either didn't read the text it in its entirety or didn't read it at all.'' according to the slang dictionary
When I began blogging, in 2009, an opinionated but well meaning reader/ friend told me the secret of blogging success was to keep posts short and fast. She said mine were too long, too photo dense. [she is not a reader anymore, as you can guess, though I am fond of her still.]
Obviously 14 years later, I didn't take her advice.
My blog, as I have described often, was/is a substitute for the weekly, even twice weekly, long letters I exchanged with mom, starting from the day I left home for college. We wrote long rambling stuff, drew pictures, inserted photos, pressed flowers, wine labels, teabag tags, fabric swatches, feathers. My mom's passing left a huge hole in my heart and in my life and I figured if I wanted to do it my way, I would so do.....
That said, Friday's Welcome June post was too long to attach my recent journal pages. So here we go.
Scribble journal.
Watercolor does not work well on cheap grocery list notebook pages. But I love the untraditional paints in the watercolor box.
Perpetual nature journal:
I was marking the weeks for late May into June and had an Oh no moment. There's only enough pages for the summer. Start a new tiny one July 1st, halfway through the year? Or set aside and start over with a proper book with at least 52 pages.
