Diving in Head First!!!

As you all know,

I am an early riser

and today was no exception.

It started out on our screened-in porch

in my improvised studio

where it felt comfortably warm...

and I worked more on yesterday's journal spread...

but, as always,

I took a break when the newspaper arrived to read it

and do the crytoquote puzzle, as I do every day.

And today's deciphered quote made me jump for joy!!!

Ten or eleven months ago,

after many, many months (even years) of ogling at people's art journals

and wanting to try my hand at journaling,

I took the plunge...

and this is what my first journal page looked like....

and this is what today's....
coincidentally (???)

the last journal spread in my very first art journal

looks like....

(hmmm... is it fate???)

when I finally overcame my fear of journaling

and started...

I haven't looked back.

This year, I have tried so many new techniques/skills/crafts

and I have a list of sooooo many more

I want to try....

The World is My Oyster

and

I plan to Dive in Head First!!!!


Are you coming?????
