Making Art Having Fun
Tweet Some art projects and art journaling pages turn out great while others are a dismal, ugly failure. I learn from both and enjoy the process. Tonight my goal was to collage copies of pages from a 2007 journal. I used an 18″ x 24″ canvas page and washable paints. The page didn’t quite turn…
New Years Eve 2012
Tweet This week as 2012 was approaching I decided that I wanted to end the year in ways I wanted the New Year to flow. I started by cleaning the house, clearing clutter, and organizing files. The time I spent doing this was well worth it. Tonight it feels wonderful to have the house and…
Art journaling as a Meditation
Tweet For the last few days I’ve experienced a high degree of anxiety and restlessness. I haven’t been able to settle down, sleep or relax. I know it’s because I’m in a period of growth and shifting and I know it’s all a part of the journey, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Yesterday…

Tweet Amanda Oaks from Kind Over Matter shared a writing prompt in issue two of of Wild Sister magazine, “What ripped your world wide open?” I’ve been thinking about this question for over a week.

Day 28: 28-Days of Art Journaling

Those feelings had already been peculating under the surface all day as I worked through feelings of excitement and fear about going after a new (but old) dream….
Day 27: 28-Days of Art Journaling
Tweet A Facebook friend’s posted quote was the prompt for tonight’s art journal page. ”There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

Day 25: 28-Days of Art Journaling
Tweet I’ve always experienced a sense of awe and admiration when looking at old, black and white photographs of the crowds of people being processed through New York’s Ellis Island during the height of the European immigration to the United States. I also feel the same way when reading about the men, women and children…
