A peek in my Journal




I am making more of an effort this year to put something, anything in my art journal
on a regular basis.

The white clean pages always seem to stop me dead in my tracks so I have decided
to start each year with...the year.
Done!  

And then there was a lousy, boring day at work so out came the journal

I sketched it out and already felt better thinking that when I got home I would
have fun coloring it in.  The growly mood lifted.


When in a quandary about just what you want to put on the paper,
the word of the year is always fun to do and a gentle reminder of what that word was!


If all else fails, my little four legged boss is a ready, willing. able subject.

So-o-o-o-o, I have NO excuse!  More journal work this year.

Happy PPF
