Hello readers,
I have had a super busy week involving a pioneering training weekend for Scouts! I made some incredible things using knots I had never learnt before, including a giant carousel which could hold 4 grown adults. Anyway, so the next two blogs will probably be a bit short and sweet as I am heading into back to back camping weekends for Cubs and then Scouts!
However, despite this I have been able to create a brand new log: Uninspirational Quotes.
These are sarcastic quotes that begin like a inspirational quote, then end up completely off the rails.
So with that, on with the blog:
Why Uninspirational Quotes?
This year I joined a discord server for The Mallorca Files Fans and one of my friends on their mentioned uninspirational quotes. Cut to me about 5 minutes later sifting through Google and Pinterest having a whole world of different types of quotes opened up to me...and the quote log idea sprung into my head.
Now as you will have seen in previous posts I love a quote log, I sway more towards inspirational quotes usually but I decided to branch out and try uninspiring ones instead. I have had an absolute riot choosing which quotes to pop into this log, and I have decided I am creating a log of 12 (to start with).
Part One in this blog will cover the first six uninspirational quotes I found and used to create my log. Part Two will cover the second six next week.
Creating an Uninspirational Quote Log
As always, I begin most of my quote hunts using Google and Pinterest and I initially started with a goal of finding 10. It soon became clear that these quotes were too funny and dark to limit to 10, so I stuck with 12 as my maximum for this quote log. I will definitely be making more soon!
I did a little plan, scribbling these quotes onto post it notes and popping them into a notebook. I used washi tape for a title border as it looks so much better than a drawn line. I chose a post it note at random each day and wrote it into my bullet journal using different coloured pens and pencils. Next I created a different border design using multiple thicknesses of Faber-Castell PITT artist pens.
As you can see I changed the font I used for each quote, just to make them look slightly different as well.
The quotes I used for Part One:
Your life can't fall apart if you never had it together
When a dog lays on the floor all day it's "adorable" but when I do it...I'm "depressed"
Before you judge me, try walking a mile in my shoes so you can see how little I care and how good it feels to be a mile away from you!
An apple a day keeps anyone away if you throw it hard enough
Once upon a time I was hungry... and that's what happened to your chocolate!
Being a function adult everyday seems a bit excessive
Next week I will be adding even more Uninspirational quotes to this log, and I will post them here!
See you then and as always, thank you for reading my little blog!
