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.

Get Well Soon! Could you cram anything else into an already busy time of year? LOL! Seriously though--take it easy, get better, and enjoy the season!

So excited about the art journal idea! I was really disappointed in myself last year...the only Christmas pictures I have are those of my tree! It was the first Christmas that my husband and I were married and I had such big ideas...but this year I am going to take pictures throughout the season and do some type of project with them...maybe an art journal?!

Hi Ali,
I just want to say I hope you are feeling better, --I've got the sore throat thing going on and it is not fun!
I loved your christmas art journal last year, and hope I can make the time to try my hand at it this year --of course taking Shimelle's class would just make my year!
take care, Amanda
