Had a great time teaching this weekend! Huge thanks to my students at Zinnia and Stampin From the Heart. I'm wiped out!! Fun weekend!!!!
Above is a quick blast from the past page. Layers of acrylic, india ink, minimal collage, a love note to Mommy from Tristan, etc....
Huge thanks to Toni a.k.a. Desert Mermaid. I received one of the best compliments in regards to my new, "Journey of You" online class. You can go here to read it if you've been on the fence about taking the class. This is exactly what I want to click with my students, and with all art journal artists. It's not about the "stuff" and having the latest new toys to create heartfelt, expressive pages. It's about YOU and what you put into it. Thank you, Toni, for getting it.

Love the colors on this. Great words and so true.
Hey Kelly!
I for one am enjoying your class sooooo much! The fact that I am really trying to be spontaneous and not trying to over think this whole thing is giving me a great liberated feeling...and i am loving it! The fact that I can work with things I already have, and very few materials, has me giddy! Thanks for opening my eyes! I posted my first page on my blog and linked to you.
I truly hope that the 'getting it' is contagious -- just so that anyone who is in a situation that doesn't allow spending (for instance, my husband has been out of work, now, for 2 months with no leads in sight) won't feel s/he can't create but s/he can't buy STUFF. Stuff is wondrous & fun and I'm not downing it whatsoever -- I just really am blown away by you designing a class that teaches it IS possible to create these beautiful, personal, meaningful journals without 'waiting' until we have the 'right' tool, trick, product, ephemera ... I think this class will help everyone who takes it realize (& spread the word) that creation is about sitting down and creating, period.

The class is great and i don't feel victimized by a selling campaign for the latest and most costly supplies. it is so low key i am having fun.
Thanks, Sandy, Sharon and Monica!
Toni, Thank you! EXACTLY. I've been preaching that for a while. New toys are fun but you don't need them to make stuff.
