Working in an art journal really brings out the inner child as I saw on April 17th. Seven powerful, wonderful women turned into creative "little girls" as they played with paint and stamps, tore up magazines for collaging, wore animal hats, ate chocolate and made beautiful art in their journals.

Have I forgotten to pack anything? The kitchen sink maybe?

Even in an Art Journaling workshop I include aromatics.

Sassy was there, too!
It was her ninth birthday and this is how she celebrated.
In fact, this is how she celebrates everything.

I gave them animal hats and asked that them to write in their journals how they were like their animal. |
Cathy created a pretty border around her two-page spread.
Hey, Joleen is a southpaw.
It was truly a relaxing, fun and creative day. When can we do it again?

That looks like so much fun! I want to be hard at play with you too! I laughed out loud at Sassy celebrating and got a good giggle at the animal hats. You'll have to get a hummingbird hat for me when I come. Oh Liz, you're doing such great things. I hope you were able to enjoy it too! I have 3 of the 4 books you displayed, I think Wreck This Journal is fairly new isn't it...will have to go look for it. Blessings my fragrant friend!
What fun! I'm familiar with some of the books. Will have to look for the others. Have you seen Violette Clark's Journal Bliss? It's lots of fun. You've made me want to play in my journal now. Yay!
Love Sassy so much I could just snuggle her all day! Glad you are home safe and sound! XO Kitty
Oh oh oh this looks so much fun! Love all the photos, this must have taken you an AGE to put together - but it's super to look at it. xx
So much fun !!! Love all the colours you have !!! I'm increasing my supplies too :)
Looks like an awesome workshop. I would love to run some thing like this. I have been thinking about a way to use my love of creativity and my social work degree together. Just not in a traditional way. i may have to look into these books. One of these days I'll also look more into soul collaging. I actually learned about it a little in a class in grad school. YOu give me thing to think about!
Wooooooooooooow! Loved that!
Cool idea to paint the bottle tops with the colour inside. Easy to spot what you need.
Cute animal hats.
