Keeping with our current theme of everyday things, I wanted to share something I recently made. As I’ve written here in the past, my first art is drawing. I recently drew a bit of a still-life of a short stack of books. I think this falls squarely within the category of “everyday things.”
Read MoreWe’re happy to have already begun receiving submissions for our new anthology, The Archivist! I think that making this book is going to be a fun journey. However, I embarrassingly forgot to include an important detail in the submission guidelines.
The original guidelines failed to note that the authors/artists who have their work selected for publication, will receive an author copy of the book.
The submission guidelines have been updated. Check out the guidelines HERE. If your work is selected for publication, you will receive one author copy of The Archivist upon publication.
In the meantime, check out the video below for some creative journalling inspiration!
I typically, but not always, write these blog posts on Sundays. This time, though, it is December 31st, New Year’s Eve, and I wanted to invite any of you who may come across this to join our newsletter for the New Year. The letter goes out tomorrow morning at 9:00AM, and it will include a journalling prompt for setting goals in 2023. As usual, the newsletter will also feature the fantastic artwork from a member of the 1134 Press Facebook community (find A Craft Room of Our Own on Facebook to join the conversation!). An also as usual, we will share some of the exciting things to come in the future.
As I write this, which is quite later in the day than I hoped, the next 1134 Press video is about to be published to YouTube. So, if you happen to be online tonight, be sure to check out the latest upload to the channel. Grab a glass of wine or a cup of coffee (or tea, or water, whatever floats your boat), because tonight’s video is almost 30 minutes long!

Hello everybody,
Bree is currently working on the next post for the Almanac Diary! This will be exclusive to Pen Pal and Book Club Members on Buy Me a Coffee (BMC) and will be a video about her process of getting back into the project. If you’re also getting back into a project, this might be the video for you! She will also reveal the next exercise for the project.
Also, for Buy me a Coffee, Bree is putting together the next Daily Ephemera Podcast. This one will be about her page layout process. This one is available to all member tiers on BMC. See the link below to find all the fun content going up on BMC!
There is a bit of a hiatus on the 1134 Press YouTube channel right now. There is more content on the way, though! Coming in November, you can look forward to a new series on the YouTube channel. This series will dive deeper into page inspiration and journal prompts.
Here are some of the topics planned for the series:
How to use white space
How to use grids to plan a page
How to create hierarchy
Layering techniques
We want to thank you all for following along on this creative journey! Find our new series on YouTube in November—we will certainly send a reminder in the next newsletter (also linked below). And in the meantime, check out the new stuff on BMC!
Thanks everybody!
Hi everybody,
Bree has been posting more content on the Buy Me a Coffee page—a new video just went up! Though much of the content found on BMC is for supporters, there’s plenty you can access for only $1.00. Check it out at the link below!
To be clear, we are still posting videos to YouTube for everyone to enjoy, and we have no intention of stopping. We are just doing a little extra for the BMC audience (which could be you!).
A new video is coming to the channel next week, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. Bree will be journaling about memories, and in doing so, will be using a very cool book. Bree will be working in some of the pages from, A Life Journaly, written by Sonia Callaway.
Even better, Bree had the opportunity to interview Sonia Callaway. We don’t often feature interviews on the channel, so we’re always excited to when they happen. Tune in next Sunday and hear all about the book and a variety of other topics!
