Today was the day I had decided to pack away my art supplies... life has been overwhelming at times lately with little desire to create. But at the last minute I had a brief moment of - I don't really know what to call it - maybe inspiration. Not my usual style, but definitely from the heart...

8x8 watercolor and ink

baby steps

5 x 7 paper collage

Those who know me well, know that I have a shelf full of gorgeous journals of all kinds... watercolor, lined, leather bound, journals lovingly made by others. And they all have one thing in common. They are all blank.

I am a  huge admirer of those who create fanciful, thoughful, art-filled and reflective journals. The problems lies within myself... how to begin? Why am I creating a journal? Who will see this and (gasp!) what will they think of it? I am usually one who just plunges head-first into new projects, ideas - but this has been one artistic endeavor I haven't been able to grasp.

Well - today is the day. Inspired by the wonderful journal pages of artists like eb and Sandy , I have jumped off the deep end. For myself... but also to share this first entry ...at least for today.

For those of you out there like me (and I know you are there!) - go ahead. Take the plunge and journal!!
