I have another quote to jump start your journaling today. I placed it on the front of a journal I created as a gift for one of my daughter’s camp counselors. The journal is covered with a piece of brown packing paper that I spritzed with water, wrinkled up and allowed to dry. I then […]
I recently discovered Stephanie Ackerman’s blog – I have no idea why I haven’t found her amazing work before – I love her style! I immediately signed up for her 52 Card Pick Up class and over the next few weeks will share a few of the altered playing cards I made in the first […]
I have a feeling I’ve shared this Anais Nin quote on the blog before, but this really resonates with me, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to post it again.
