Prompt Week - March 2020

Spring is finally (almost) here! Is it just me or is anyone else looking forward to warmer weather? I can’t wait, it’s been a particularly cold winter in California this year! I hope you all enjoyed the prompts from February. I am really trying to make a good combination of prompts that are not too cliche in the way of season, etc. Trying to find fun ways for us to embellish our journals as the year wears on. What do you all think about it so far? I really hope you are liking it so far!

So, for this month of March, I would like us to focus a little bit more on growth. All around the world when spring arrives it’s delightful for the senses as we start to see signs of new life and the smell of beautiful plants and trees all around us. So as the world around us begins to grow again, I would like to to keep us reminded that we too grow. So these prompts are meant to rejuvenate our gusto after this dreary winter - even if you aren’t in the US, I think this will be a great jump start for keeping our minds and creativity refreshed.

Again, I thank all of you who are participating along and keeping me on my toes as we trek through Prompt Week 2020. So without further ado, here are the 7 prompts to round out the first quarter of the year. Oh, and I heard you all as well - I’ve put the prompts in PDF format as I think it will work better for everyone as it is a more universal format. Let me know if you have any issues. You can get the list of prompts by clicking here.

Thanks again Odd Flock and let’s have some more fun with #oddflock2020 !!

Prompt Week - February 2020

There is something so heart warming about giving out prompts, and inspiring others to have a few daily moments of solitude to themselves to get some thoughts and feelings down on paper. Thank you to all who have joined in for Prompt Week 2020, and if you haven’t yet, it’s not too late!

This month I wanted to focus the prompts a little bit more in the direction of loving yourself. I think it is really important that we all have self love and honesty about ourselves from within. It is only once we love ourselves that we can truly love others with a pure heart and mind. It is my hope that you will use these prompts and have some fun with them - and if you want to branch off and add a little bit more to each day’s spread, I encourage you to do that. Take some time and just really think about uplifting YOU - because you deserve it and you are worth it!

You can find a list of the seven prompts for February here.

Have fun and I truly cannot wait to see what you all come up with for this month! Don’t forget to use the hashtag #ODDFLOCK2020 to see what everyone is up to as we progress through the year!

Prompt Week 2020 Begins!

Welcome back Odd Flock!

I am here today to give you the first set of Prompt Week prompts for January 2020. I am so excited to be starting this new journey with you all! We had so much fun with the October Daily prompts last year and I think it’ll be the same with this new series!

Since we are doing seven prompts per month I have decided to put them in “card” format so you can easily print out the sheet and use the prompt cards in your spreads.

You can download the Word Doc prompt sheet by clicking here.

I will be adding in a good variety of prompts, but there will be a good mix of fun spreads that we can get artsy with as well as those that will be more of a writing or collage style. Remember how big our books got in October? Ha!

Lastly, since these prompts are all about you I wanted to have a hashtag to reflect that. So if you want to track our progression through the year to see what your fellow crafters are doing in this series, be sure to use the hashtag: #ODDFLOCK2020. This will be the recurring hashtag that we use all year so it should certainly grow on you as we go.

I hope you all have fun with these, and I cannot wait to see what you all get up to with these prompts. I absolutely enjoying seeing all of your creativity! Have fun and here’s to a great New Year!

Happy 2020 all!

Toodaloo!

Greetings, welcome to PinkOddBird!

Wow, can you believe it? Here we are with a dedicated space for The Odd Flock to congregate and be inspired. I am so pleased to introduce this little nest here on the internet where I can be in constant communication with each and every one of you.

With all of the mandatory upcoming changes online, and heaps of uncertainty (and after great deliberation) I decided this would be the best way for us to ensure we do not lose contact with one another. I have been working hard over the years to build a rapport with my fellow crafters and could not bear the thought of it potentially all being taken away. Having this website ensures that I have a place that we can call "home base" should you ever ponder about what I am up to - or even if you just want to say hello! As an added bonus, I get to continue to build my portfolio and document important goings on.

We are fast approaching the end of the year and I felt this would be a great way to end it - and also to prepare new beginnings in 2020. What you can expect to find here is information about the PinkOddBird brand, past projects, news and updates as it relates to things I am working on - and special events etc. that I have planned for the coming year. Over time I will begin to slowly move my journal shop here onto my site - and leave smaller items available in Etsy. When that time comes I will be sure you are all notified of where to find my products.

I would also like to take a moment to say thank you all for your continued support over the years. It is because of you that I had the means and motivation to get this done. The friends that I have made, the support and love that you all have shown me does not go unnoticed. I will be eternally grateful that I am able to continue to do something that I love, and that you are all here to share it with me!

At any rate, I think this is a great start and I am so happy I decided to take the leap and get this site up and running as it's been on my mind for a while now. So go ahead and have a look around this spankin' new site and be sure to stay tuned because you never know what direction this Odd Flock of ours is headed into...and until next time...

Toodaloo!
