I haven’t been spending very much time on my art journals lately. Sometimes the inspiration just isn’t there…so I decided to go look for it instead of waiting for it to find me.
It’s past mid April, and the ground is still too soggy to get out into the garden, so I thought I’d bring the garden inside.
Birds, bugs, flowers, small bits of cute that have been tucked away for the winter.
I’m embarrassed to say that I forget half the things I own. That insect is from a poster I bought a couple of years ago. As you can see, he was super easy to cut out.
This is a journal I’ve had for a few years. As sometimes happens with me, it stalled out, so I’m working on revitalizing it.
I’m definitely not afraid to tear everything out of a journal and start from scratch.
Luckily, this one only had a couple of unwanted pages. I’m actually going to add more pages to this little journal!
I splurged on some beautiful floral paper this week and I’m having too much fun positioning my bits and pieces as not to cover up the flowers.
I don’t even know how long I’ve had that bird sticker, probably 10 years. He’s finally found a perfect home.
I’m going to try something new for me, I’m going to attempt to work on one art journal at a time until it’s finished. My biggest problem is the amount of supplies I have out when working on so many projects, and then I get over-inspired and jump into new projects (actually, I get bored easily too) So lets see how this works out.
Well, that’s it for now. It’s still a tad gloomy out there, so I’m going to work on a few pages.
Until next time (sooner I hope),
Have a great day,
Thanks for the visit,

This one is 5″ x 6″ including binding rings, the pages are 4 1/4″ x 6″. I used to make them for my shoppe quite a few years ago. I don’t know where to buy journals because I make my own, there might be some on Etsy.
