EDIT: This journal is SOLD.Almost two years ago, I made this fun little grateful journal, thinking I'd use it, but it's been sitting, looking all forlorn, in among my art stash. So, I've decided to sell it. I feel sad, as I always do when I part with something I've poured my heart and soul into, but I can't keep everything I make!

Hi all! I was playing in my pocket journal yesterday, and came up with a l'il somethin'.
I've had this gorgeous hand-spun, hand-dyed wool for months, and the colours are just begging me to play with it. Finally I have.
I posted the step by step on the Life Documented blog, as it was my turn to share a prompt.
COME SEE if you'd like.

Hi, I'm back with a short little post to show off my recent page in my traveler's journal.

Hi all!
My blog has been on the back burner for a long while, and my excuse? I opened up an Etsy Shoppe. I do love blogging so I'm not stopping altogether, it'll just be less. You know, unfortunately our days only have 24 hours...
That said, here I am to give you a quick update on the artsy things I've been working on.

Hello, my friends! After years of brainstorming, I've finally done it: I've opened up my little shoppe on Etsy. I'm so excited.
My first listing is my own designer washi tape!
Full of my auberginemadlove roses, set among turquoise triangles, purply circles and whimsical leaves, this washi will be sure to set a feminine but edgy example to all your crafty planners, annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15215762996790597297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215895453150069847.post-30302284054651518082018-02-24T21:39:00.000-07:002018-03-13T19:17:31.921-06:0010-Day Gratitude Journal Video Tutorial
This blog post is late. Very late. But too late? Nah, probably not, right?
I have been missing from posting here, but I haven't stopped art journaling and other creating.
Back in November 2017 I created a fun little gratitude journal with Paperbag Studio stamps and Roben-Marie Smith's gorgeous artPops, and I have a video tutorial to show you the step by step. Click HERE to see!

I have started the prompts for the Pop-Up Journal Challenge by Roben-Marie Smith.
Prompt 1/10: We ______what we want.
While I was decorating this page, I contemplated what we as frail human beings often want. The thing that came to my mind is how we might not always really know what we want, and other times, we do, but later find out that is not what we really needed.

My sister and I are diy-ing the decor for a local fundraiser banquet. We're very excited to see how it will turn out. I might even share some pics. We'll see. It involves paper maché. :)
