Moments of Wonder and Ponder

  ‏اَلسَلامُ عَلَيْكُم وَرَحْمَةُ اَللهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ It's Khadijah here! In today's post, I'll be sharing with you the artwork and creative pages of my journal of 2023.  After I shared my current  journal of 2024 (Jan - April) , I felt it would be a lovely idea to as well share my previous work.  Let's get into it! JOURNAL 2023 I customized the cover of the plain book.

  ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ It's Hanah here... We have a huge file of artwork and crafts that we did when we were very small, we have named it our ' memory journal' . As years have passed by, we have improved in our art, Alhammdulilah.  We both decided to 'recreate' some of our art work in the memory journal. It was very fun and challenging, especially to see whether our art skills have improved or if it is still stagnant and childish.  First up, I recreated a picture of my own :  After recreating it :  Then, I recreated Khadijah's baby drawing :  This is Khadijah's drawing that she was going to recreate : After re- drawing it : (whoops, the camera angle is wonky!) Khadijah recreated my baby drawing :  Alhammdulilah this was a very fun project and we hope to continue this InshaAllaah in the future, this idea wasn't our original and was inspired by two  YouTubers . Until next time, Assalamualykum.
