Fri, November 24, 2006 - 10:51 PMI am not journaling regularly right now, no reason is good enough...except maybe death, lol. I just ordered like 5 books off amazon.com today to get me jump started/ inspired back into art journaling. I want to really get into photography, journaling in nature. I live in southern MI, so its kinda cold right now. I do have this really good book about journaling in nature, I did start that a year ago last summer and I found that I loved it and really got alot of joy and peace out of it. I will keep you posted..... -

Sat, November 25, 2006 - 6:23 AMThanks for replying. I've always journalled in some form. (starting when I was young with those small diaries that have the locks). After studying art in college and spending a short time trying out the scrapbooking thing, my journalling/scrapbooking turned into art journals.
I tend to work on one big art journal per year. I'm also always working on learning/practicing more about altered books; I've decided that for the approaching start of 2007 I will be starting my new art journal in an old altered cookbook. I'll let you know how that is going. Stay warm. -

Sun, November 26, 2006 - 12:36 PMYeah, I like the scrapbooking thing, and my scrapbooks turned into art journals also, how cool. I thought I was the only wierd one, lol. I am writing on index cards, stuff/quotes that grab my interest, to then one day (which when does that day come?) I will journal about the topic. Its a work in progress. Also, I write down interesting blurps about topics I am interested in or info I need for my job (im a RN) like drug/disease info, and hope to one day compile it all into a book. Kinda like the "Bible" on my job, to refer back to as needed. I guess I have always done something with writing (b/c I love the way I print) and art, just haven't compiled it in one place. I love little folders, or color paper to write on, gosh no wonder why I don't date, lol. Can I add u as a friend? I only want to add friends that I know or actually have a common interest with. Not to just like get 1000 friends, i really hate that! Well I think I am going to try and scan some stuff onto my page, one day, haha, so u can see what I mean. And, of course with 2007 just around the corner and my books coming real soon, yeah! we will have alot to chat about....keep me posted and take care.... -
