Hello, apologies for the delay in uploading but here is the blog for this week!
This time I will be showing my completed March monthly and gratitude log and the layout design for April. The photo was taken as I had filled out the log up to the 7th of April so next weeks will be the completed April log.
I was quite busy in March but I really enjoyed the gratitude log so I will be cresting a one line a month gratitude log for my next blog.
Below is my finished March monthly log, there is nothing more satisfying than a completed log!
March Log (completed)
![Double page bullet journal open with a monthly calendar filled out for every day of March. Quote written in red pen and red/purple blocks coloured in at the top right hand page tracking chapters read in March](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/de696f_0935ef2f09eb499cacb54b1a1c37ba31~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_665,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/de696f_0935ef2f09eb499cacb54b1a1c37ba31~mv2.jpg)
As you can see I also managed to finish my book the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and begin Queenie (which I have also now finished).
I will show an update of my 23 books in 2023 challenge log in June, as that's half way through the year!
Here is my completed March gratitude log. I will be adapting this design for the 12 month gratitude log next week.
March Gratitude Log
![Semi circle with black lines coming out of the circle, with purple text written on each line explaining things the author was grateful for in March](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/de696f_861e990835b24e94a64ace79d2bd676c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_1284,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/de696f_861e990835b24e94a64ace79d2bd676c~mv2.jpg)
I will probably include a gratitude quote like I did here but the design will be very different as I will be using one line per month.
I also thought I'd update you with my gaming log. As you can see my top three games are still Animal Crossing, Fortnite and Wylde Flowers although I am playing more Mario Kart and Harvestella as well. I haven't included Harvestella in my log as it's not got any achievements to complete, I'm just really enjoying the story progession.
Gaming Log
![Gaming log written in light blue pencil/pens.

Here is my set up for April's monthly log including my chapters tracker.

As you can see I had taken this on the 7th so next week I will include the finished April log.
I changed the colour scheme for April to go with green, and I have decided this will continue to June. So I had red from January to March and green from April to June.
April's quote links to spring and my favourite weather: April showers!
Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadows of April showers- Baron Caldwell Smith.
I have begun my set up for May which will be included in next week's blog.
Anyway, updates finished here is the newest log: my first ever font design idea page!
Font Design Ideas
![A page full of different font styles with words and short quotes like believe in yourself, set yourself free, with little doodles in purple, blue and pink. A row of red, blue, pink and purple pens used underneath the page with some black fineliners too](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/de696f_0f3961e4e00d42aa8d3c2960997694e7~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_1879,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/de696f_0f3961e4e00d42aa8d3c2960997694e7~mv2.jpg)
I absolutely loved creating these designs!
I used a range of different pens which I included in the photos: red and blue Pilot frixon pens, pink and purple smooth zebra medium pens, Staedtler pigment liner size 0.3 and my usual Faber-Castell PITT artist pen size M and B.
I decided to use words and short inspirational quotes for my fonts. However I have seen some that use the same word repeated like 'header' or 'font'.
As I love quotes I went for a different word or short quote for each font type.
As always Pinterest, Instagram and Google were great places for inspiration for the font designs I ended up using. So if you are thinking of creating your own font idea page, I recommend seeing what's out there and giving them a try!

And I will see you next week for a 12 month gratitude log, the finished April logs (monthly and gaming) and the monthly set up for May.
Thank you for reading,
