I Did It! Finally!

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf May 4, 2009

I’m so excited to have found time this past weekend to work on pages in my art journal!!! Okay, it was only two pages – but still! I worked in my art journal! It was mostly due to the fact that I set aside free time for “date night” with my honey, but he had to cancel because he had to move a building. Yes, he does weird things – but I embrace that weirdness when it gives me unexpected time to be creative! ::happy Snoopy dancing::

My youngest son saw my pages today and became inspired to create his own in almost the same style. Of course, they were in MY art journal . . . not too thrilled by that because, as some of you know, I’m very funny about NO ONE using my notebooks, journals, or art journals. Must be an inherited “thing” because my dad was like that with his pens and paper . . . only . . . to a much stronger degree. (I don’t get quite as scary . . . close, but not quite. LOL)

I’m sure I’ll find more time in the coming days because everyone seems to be busy doing this, that, or the other thing. When that happens, I can usually get away with ducking away somewhere unnoticed for an hour or two. It’s rare, but I relish in those stolen moments. Particularly when I can work with more than just gel pens, a few bits of ephemera, a glue stick, and my art journal. I’m craving the start of a new canvas, and it WILL happen any day now.

I tried uploading a pic of my pages, but it won’t work. I’ll get it up on http://www.jennhollowell.blogspot.com in the next couple of days. In the meantime, happy creating everyone!!
