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.

It's still not too late, is it? Well, I'm glad you are feeling better. I actually had the opportunity to hold your Christmas journal in my hands when you did a class in Indy, it was simply beautiful. Mye

Hi Ali,
After you postes last year about the art journal, i too joined. I loved how it touch it made me feel during the holidays, i loved how i only needed a few supplies, and a few quiet minutes to complete the entry for the day, quite a nice break during the hectic holiday season when i usually don't get time to craft!
Take care, glad to hear that you are feeling better, i too caught the flu last week while we were in Hawaii for my sister's wedding.
