It’s my turn to host the weekly challenge at Two Peas, and I drew the journaling prompt card. It’s a fill-in-the-blank challenge and you can use it for your title or your writing on a scrapbook page. You have to fill in the blanks for Not all ——— are ——-. Like this:

Not all astronauts are boys, not all crafters are girls, not all somethings are something. That’s the idea – go against the expected, then tell the story behind the statement with photos and writing. The Tolkien line Not all who wander are lost would work too. Fill in the blanks with whatever would suit your story.
I’m really not a tomboy in any sense of the word and I don’t think I have have been… but while I love all things girly like pink and nail varnish and dresses, I also have a long-term love of maths and science and… space. So I loved the idea of Rocket Age from October Afternoon – an entirely space-themed collection done with a vintage kitsch twist. I thought it was amazing, until I heard people continually comment on how it was a BOY collection. Really? I mean look at that sheet of paper – it’s constellations on a lovely blue background. Is that really something that can the boys get to claim all for their own? I had to put this right (if only for myself) and balance that blue background with some pink polka dots, tiny hearts and chipboard flowers.
