Meaningful Soul Words – Part 1
As we approach the new year . . . I can’t believe it . . . 2015, I thought this so appropriate. I have some other fun things to share as well on the horizon including a book that my husband and daughter gifted me for Christmas having to do with art and prayer. Love it. I recently ran across some information I thought was so good when dealing with emotions. Finishing up this last year, we do some reflecting – some of us had a great year and others are happy to put it in the past. With the new year brings a clean slate, a new beginning and possibilities.…

A while back for Throwback Thursday I shared a little video tour of the Window of the Soul Art Journal Tag Tour.

Just a relaxed little peek. Are you working on an art journal? Are you documenting a particular event? I’d love to know. Where are you sharing your documentation? Warmest creative wishes,

Throwback Thursday – Window of the Soul Art Journal Tags Tour
It’s Throwback Thursday of a different kind. I’m adding content I previously lost . . . of some oldies (videos, tutorials, projects). ADD PHOTOS OF TAGS This one here . . . several years ago I taught a different kind of book club class. We would read a chapter or two of this awesome book by Ken Gire called Windows on the Soul, convene together, talk about what we learned, I’d teach a technique on a tag and then we’d each create an art journal page with portions of the book that spoke to us. This is a little tour of the tags I created for the class/techniques I…

Right Now Monday: Be Kind to Unkind People, They Need It The Most
Wow . . . I read this statement earlier in the week and didn’t know it would ring so true. It was posted (and then reposted) by a radio station. It especially made sense when I had an experience (and opportunity) to be kind to an unkind person. If you don’t mind reading for a moment . . . one of you may need to hear what came to mind as I experienced a very angry and unkind individual. But this presented an opportunity. I was headed to meet my daughter and mom. I entered a very busy shopping center and found an individual that was getting ready to leave. I…

Throwback Thursday – Amazing Grace
It’s so popular right now to see folks post older photos of themselves or loved ones. Several folks call it, “Throwback Thursday’. Well, I’d like to share Throwback Thursdays with you as well but in a different context. I have kept an on-line journal for many years now. Recently, (July 2014) Go Daddy changed their blog hosting company from Blogcast to WordPress. That’s fine and dandy however we never got ‘the memo’ and had no preparation. One day, my blog was gone. Thank goodness a few weeks back I was prompted to print out several posts I wanted to keep. As I shared my journey through breast cancer last year…
