Well, January is just flying by, isn't it? For the 4th week of our Artful Intentions art journaling project, Cilenia Curtis challenged me to create a piece using these prompts: Use the word seek Use a flower Use some ephemera In case you're wondering, "ephemera"...

The Week 3 challenge for the Documented Life Project was to incorporate an envelope from our mail in some form into our journals.

The challenge for Week 2 of the Documented Life Project was to incorporate a “selfie” into our journals.

Another week, another art journal challenge! If you've been following along, you know that the word "fearless" presented itself to me over and over in the past several weeks. So much so, that it became obvious that, although I had no intentions of doing choosing a...

It’s been such a busy couple of weeks that I haven’t had a chance to post photos of my first week’s Documented Life Project and we’re almost through week two!

You will recall that last week I kicked off Artful Intentions 2014 by challenging Cilenia Curtis to create a journal page using these three inspirations: The colors yellow and red Inky or stamped chevrons The words "no limits" And boy did she deliver - didn't she?...

Are you ready for 2014?  I, for one, was not prepared for how quickly 2013 went by. The older I get, the faster time passes – it’s not just me, is it?

I think you all know that I’m a total techie, right? And that I’m totally addicted to my iPad mini and my iPhone? So you can imagine that when I can combine creativity and tech tools I’m as happy as a  …

So much has happened in my family this year that after some recent and (very) good news, I felt the need to do some journaling. It ended up being a very simple page (with lots of journaling which I covered up with paint and gesso), but I'm happy with how it...

While browsing Pinterest a couple of weeks ago, I found this really cool, and easy idea for tinting mason jars!

Sometimes, in order to move forward, you have to let go.
I took up golf more than 25 years ago – mostly so my husband wouldn’t have an excuse to go out for hours at a time without me!

I had big plans. Yesterday afternoon I asked my DH to help me set up my tripod and new arm thingy that suspends my iPad mini

I went into my studio this morning wanting to start a journal page. But it was such a mess in there, I couldn’t make my way to the table without tripping over the “stuff” on the floor. And there wasn’t an inch of room on the table either.

I found a bright color palette that I wanted to use for a kit and thought it would be a perfect time time make use of my Gelli Plate from Gelli Arts!

You can't wave a magic wand and make the world go away but there is a way to express at least some of what you're feeling on any given day. You can journal it out. One of Webster's definitions of "melancholy" is "a pensive mood" and that's exactly how I felt when I...

The golden finches managed to start construction despite our (apparently not very effective) roadblocks.

Big storm came through here last night and decided to hang around for the day

For all of my 30+ year career, I used the analytical side of my brain (and used it a LOT I might add)  – so much so that I didn’t even know there was another side to my brain.
