New Art Journal

So.. my Kerry-bear sent me these really cool challenges for an art journal, and I started it last night. So far, it's going pretty well.. 8x11 pages are way easier than 12x12, and I'm having fun doing it. It's making me think about a lot of things.. The pages are refreshingly simple, and I'm trying to focus on my journaling to improve it. It just seemed like a good opportunity for that.. so, please don't knock my lack of "art" - I think I sometimes confuse "art" with "stuff" (ribbon, brads, stickers, etc.). I'm liking the way that it's coming together.

Here they are:

Challenge #1 was to introduce yourself. What would you want a person to know about you if they just stumbled upon this journal? Here's what I got..

Challenge #2 was to do an un-resolution - as in, pick something about yourself that always has been and always will be. The most existential thing about you that just isn't going to change - ever.

I am REALLY having fun with this, and I can't wait to get back to work this afternoon and get started on the 3rd one - it looks really cool.

Your art journal is beautiful...who gave you the idea to do this? Wish I had time for fun stuff like that. I'll be catching up on my kids HS years until the minute they all graduate I think. Then I can start on something else. It's amazing how time consuming scrapbooking is!
