Another ass long post :joy: maybe I should get back to just make one post per week, this would be much smarter than collecting all the spread all the time. The sun is finally back, too :sun_with_face: so that would be a real possibility now.
◈ ━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━ ◈
Let's start of with the very important April Spreads. So when mylifeinabullet teamed up ChristineMyLinh, Jenny Journals and Nicole's Journal for a collaboration, someone got really motivated to do the same ( Hedda *cough*) and I got dragged in for the fun. We ( Hedda) decided upon the theme "cute spring animals" (whyever did we choose that again? :joy: ) which in the end proofed to be a real struggle.
I was probably at fault, too. I thought of making a rain theme again (do never underestimate my love for it) but then there were also bunnies :rabbit2:
After last month I needed easy maintenance spreads and decided to go minimal. I also got influenced by ChristineMyLinh's story ideas. So now I will probably try to tell the story of the bunny and the fox who become friends.
The cover page started out really good, but then it went downhill fast. Apparently I'm not good at trying to draw cute things
But I tried and I can only get better when I actually do practice. I had a lot if free space to which I'm not used to and decided to just use it for Journaling. Let's see what I will fill in
The calendar was inspired by Fatima. Thank you for that great idea :+1:
The same free space was in the weekly spread, but I'm sure I can fill it with thoughts about books, or more doodles.
◈ ━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━ ◈
Next we have some random spreads
The first is the last March weekly. Last month's theme was goddesses, and the last one I picked was Persephone
I have a thing for Hades and after reading ACOMAF and learning the story concept was based on the story of Persephone and Hades, this became an instant favourite thing
So I really wanted to do Persephone justice and beside the little mess of the drawing I think I managed well
The lettering is quite nice and I will probably use it again
Persephone was probably my favorite spread of all march spreads. And with all the bad feelings I had, I can at least say, that I learned to draw folds I clothes.
Then, I successfully finished feasting :raised_hands:
One day was my niece birthday, so that was a planned exception and the other day was bad luck :joy: I was baking cupcakes with my kids at work, and then they all left, and it was friday and I would have had to throw them away, and I really don't like to throw away food... So yeah, one messed up day. But I did awesome for the rest, thanks to my good friend pizza :pizza: :joy: (I feel like no one has any idea what I'm talking about, so please ignore me )
◈ ━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━ ◈
And lastly we have the spring cleaning challenge :raised_hands:
I am pretty awesome at cleaning, I think and I love to throw stuff away. So once a year, always in good Friday I have a spring cleaning going on. This year I was pretty thorough and extended the cleaning to three days because my flat needed a lot of sorting.
I already was done with most of the cleaning when we came up with the challenge. So there are no before pictures. But I did a spread to plan things out before. It was not directly designed as a spread to show off in a challenge, but just to sort my to do's, hence it's really simple.

On Wednesday I started with my room. My shelf and my desk area where a mess. I also didn't have enough space for all my art supplies. Since my room mate moved out, I know was lucky enough to put the piano out of my room in the living room again and get more drawers for art supplies
Now I can reach all my art supplies and my Desk is clean again
I sorted out a ton of books which I will bring to a public open library shelf (hoepfully today) because throwing books away would just suck.
Now I have a spacious, uplifting and happy bedroom again.
━━ ⸙ ━━
Next is the living room, which finally looks like a living room again
It's a lot more dampened and calming compared to my bedroom.
━━ ⸙ ━━
And lastly, we have the kitchen. I got rid of a really messy part. Where I have now space for all my books about cooking.
I did some more things, like cleaning the attic. And my flat will forever stay a work in progress. But atm I feel really comfortable again.

I hope you enjoyed my #springcleaningchallenge and all the spreads. See you soon

I love all of thiiiis :sob: Your house is beautiful! 🤗 :heart_eyes:
ALSO
How do you take/edit your pictures? They look so well lit and professional :sparkles:
Awwww, thank you so much :sparkling_heart:
I use my DSLR, and she the pictures by the window when I have sunlight. Then I first edit them on the pc, with the regular win 10 picture editor, then I load them onto my phone and edit the rest in snapseed. It's a tedious process but I like the pictures that way best. I made a wiki for photo editing. So this might help http://aminoapps.sitiosdesbloqueados.com/p/4hlkqx
