Journal pages 12/29 & 12/30/10


These photos aren't the best because I took them with my phone, but I thought it would be better to post than not to post.  I'll scan them in and post again so you can see the details.

Journal pages from Dec. 29 & 30

Journal Pages 10.24.10

A couple of pages from October 24th. I tend to collage a ton of pages in one day so they will be ready for journaling at any time. Some days I may only journal one page, others I'll journal several. It all depends upon my mood and how much is kicking around in my mind!

Tuesday Pages

Every Tuesday night I take my journal to my favorite little hole in the wall. There's a certain battered wooden table, worn smooth by time, that I sit at and journal while I listen to the trio of acoustic musicians. The bar is quite dark so it can be difficult to journal. Many weeks I do a "doodle" type form of journaling.  These are a few of my Tuesday Pages using the doodle format instead of my usual collage form of journaling.

Journal Page 10.26.10



A blog post two days in a row. Amazing!  I was thinking about routines today and this page emerged. I guess I need to take lessons from the Toby cat because he has routine down pat!

Journal page 10.25.10

I'm trying to get back into the blogging groove!  I have a serious problem with sticking to routine. The only routines I have in life is daily art making and taking care of my boy and critters.

Journal Pages 5/9 & 5/10/10

    Letting go of things we no longer have use for is something I regularly encourage people to do. It's also something I strive to do in my life on a regular basis. I don't just mean "things" as in objects either.  Letting go of things includes emotional or thought processes that are hindering us, people who drain us of our energy because they are so needy and behaviors or habits that are harmful to our well being. Relieving yourself of the burdens of both material and emotional baggage is so very freeing.  The first page shown today deals with my letting go of some emotional hurts that I'd been holding on to.  why keep them when the mere thought of them reopens old wounds. Time to toss the baggage into the river.


  The second page is a bit of venting on my physical pain.  Some days the only way to deal with the difficulties of looking fine but feeling pain riddled is to get it on the page!

Journal Pages 5.7.10 and 5.8.10

I've been dreadfully neglectful of my blogging these past months. REAL LIFE decided it would interfere with the Virtual World in which I romp.  It happens to all of us from time to time. The things we must do get in the way of the things we want to do. 


However, no matter what twists and turns come at me the one thing I won't neglect is my art or my art journaling. For without those I would have no soul....


I'm trying to get back in the blogging groove so hopefully you'll all be hearing a lot more from me. Whether you want to or not!  


For your perusing pleasure, two recent journal pages. The first is on Censorship and how people try to censor me but just can't do it.  The second is on what I need in life to be happy. There's really very little I NEED.  Want and need are two very different things therefore, my needs are simple. My WANTS, well that's a different story....
