I'm in love..........with Journaling!

Last weekend I was lucky enough to go to Heart From the Heart for one of Dyan's fab weekend workshops. This time it was art journaling - I loved it. It was an honour to share a weekend with so many amazing women. We laughed, we cried, we ate and we made a mess ;-) I would recommend it to any one. It was so popular that while we were there most of us booked into the next weekend.

Here are a few of the pages I've made so far. I am much happier than I come across on some of these pages and have now run out of rants so it works - don't get angry get journaling!

Scroll down Dyan's blog and you will see links to some of the other ladies blogs.

My pages are made with old newspaper which gives a lovely textured result. This is my work in progress rant page. Have a rant, cover it with gesso and sugar coat the result.
This is the first page I made. I was given the word rage and the colour red.
I love my white souffle pen.


I made this at a previous workshop and it reminds me not to take myself seriously.

My wireless has died and I have had to move the pc onto a small table near the phone. It means I can watch TV but it's killing my back! At least it stops me rambling on my blog. I've made a few more backgrounds so I just need to find a few images and get going again.

Oooh Anne

The pages are gorgeous, I'm loving the white souffle pen effect on your page - absolutely gorgeous! I know what you mean on the rant front, I'm doing daily rants which are going to give a fairly obscure of who I am in future years LOL - so I'm also documenting funny little things that occur - you know the ones that you won't remember in years to come! I agree wholeheartedly on the 'don't get angry get journaling' statement it is the best therapy. I'm also loving the texture of the pages absolutely gorgeous! Hope you are having a good week!
