    Art Journaling protects my health and well being. I can collage all the bits and pieces that identify all my wishes and hopes or accomplishments in my world. Sometimes it clicks other times I don’t feel it hits my mark but I keep on trying to sooth my need to express and create what makes me at peace and complete. I have a relationship with all the other creatives I’ve met along my journey. I know that some day I will do a spread that will be the calling card to all my dreams come true…and that is a satisfying notion indeed. Thanks Nat…MBS…Mary Nassar…Pam Carriker…Seth…June…Robin and Jackie Jimerson (get well soon)…Love You Guys So Much!!!

    What I love about art journaling is that it doesn’t need to be presentable.
    When I scrapbook I want the LO to look really good.
    When I art journal it’s for me…the process and playing in my book.
    Thanks for the chance to win a spot Nat!
