Journaling Junkie's February Journaling challenge

This is something I'm currently doing this months. Scarily, it brings a bit more of me out as this seriously invades my comfort zone of seldom speaking about or bringing private things about myself out.  But I need a place to put this to keep up as I do  these challenges.  My entries to these challenges can be found by hitting the link to my tumblr blog.

The original post of this challenge by JJ can be found here...

Hello, everyone!

Due to the amount of friends asking me so nicely to make more prompts, I’d like to introduce you to your February Journal Challenge! I’m so excited! I really hope you enjoyed getting back into the swing of things with my first ever January Journal Challenge. I saw so many amazingly creative pictures!

Here’s your chance for more writerly inspiration. Get your pens and notebooks ready!

Rules: 
1. You may use props with your journals and writing like candles, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, movies, a Valentine’s stuffed animal, romance novels (or a novel you felt was worthy of your heart), pens, old letters, etc…

2. You may use collages, calligraphy, a simple or complex sketch, list-making, song lyrics, poetry, even some of your original writing!

3. Please do not use other people’s photos or photos you downloaded from the internet in your journal challenge entry. That would be disrespectful to the real owners. All photos must be original.

4. You may have a free day if you feel sick or are too busy, or don’t have the materials to complete the prompt. (But, these prompts are really easy so you shouldn’t have much difficulty completing each day.)

5. Since this is the month of romance and all things suggestive, KEEP IT G-RATED, PEOPLE!!!! Please limit profanity.

6. Most importantly, get creative and have fun! Kiss your negative thoughts goodbye. You’ve got better things to do than be hard on yourself this year. Be proud of your work!

Here are some suggestions on what to do for a few prompts:

Day 2: Love at First Page— snap a picture of your favorite journal, or write about where you first bought it, why you like it, etc…

Day 4: Queen of Hearts—In the perspective of someone else, what do you think makes you a likable person?

Day 16: Laws of Attraction—write about what attracts you to another person, list the characteristics that you admire about them.

Day 19: Blush—use pink and red watercolors or paints on your journal pages, then write about the things that make you blush; or write a journal entry about one of your slightly embarrassing moments.

Day 21: Cute n’ Cuddly—a picture of a Valentine’s teddy bear or a cute card you received from a friend, family member, or a significant other; write about who gave this present to you and what significance that gift holds for you in your life. (If you want, you can also use pictures of a family pet as substitution for Valentine’s gifts!)

Day 24: What’s in a name?—write a poem or a journal entry about a person in your life whose name has always stuck with you for some reason. List a few reasons why you like a certain name, why it attracts you, etc…

Day 27: Love yourself first—give yourself comfort this month. List the reasons why you’re a wonderful person, worthy of everyone’s appreciation. Self-love and self care comes first before any relationship.

Tag me, journaling-junkie and February Journal Challenge in your entries and I will do my best to stop and appreciate everyone’s art and writing, as I did before.

Dig deep inside your heart this February and see what answers you find. Give your opinions. Encourage your fellow writers, readers, journal lovers, and artists. Build each other up and be supportive.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.

All my love to you.
