Christmas Art Journal.
Tags:Feeling a bit better today - thanks for all the kind thoughts.
One of my favorite parts about the holidays last year was participating in Shimelle's Christmas Art Journal Class. Even though I didn't finish it last year, I love how it connected me daily to the holiday season in an artful and reflective way. I love that it gave me something to focus on and pushed me to try new things.
Here is one sample page I completed last year:
The rest of my pages from last year are located in my Art Journal folder to the right.
I highly recommend this experience. No pressure. Just good prompts and lots of sharing with others on the same journey. Not sure yet if I am going to have a chance to participate this year - December is shaping up to be pretty busy for us with a couple weekend workshops, a vacation, and hopefully a move into a new house. If my new house gets decorated I will consider that a huge accomplishment.
AND...if you leave a comment on here between now and 5pm Pacific today (my time) you will be entered into a drawing to take the class for free. Shimelle gave me two spots to give away - so make sure to leave your name in the comments. I will draw two names later tonight or tomorrow.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. My daughter and I have been trading germs back and forth...her 2nd round with it (yucky sinus infections). You sound like you're going to be busy this coming month...don't take on too much or you'll get sick again! That's not fun over the Christmas holidays. One year when my kids were little they both (18 mo apart) came down with bronchitis on Christmas eve and then on New Years eve I came down with strept throat on top of the flu...it was a miserable holiday that year. I was so sick, the doctor gave me a shot in the butt! I haven't had one of those since I was a kid in the 60's! Have a good time on your vacation...relax and refuel.

love the collage look that is still ordered in your post... would be a good way to incorporate a lot of christmas "signs" yet not be too extensive of a project. i might do that this year with my "signs of the season!" pictures i would love to have reason to take.

I am so glad to hear you are feeling better--I had the same luck last week. Gotta love those "change of season" colds! I have just discovered Donna's and your blogs and am addicted! How inspiring and talented you both are. Keep up the wonderful work!
