So it's looking like I'm on the one page a week for my art journal. Not quite meeting my self-imposed challenge of doing something creative every day. Oh well, tomorrow is another day! Apparently I just love circles and can't seem to get away from them. I was going to punch out the tiny circles from pink cardstock, but when I emptied the hole punch, all these little brown punches came out and I just decided to use them. I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but I drew in wings. Turns out I can't draw wings. Oh well. This layout really goes with the quote for me because I took a risk that didn't necessarily pan out too well, but that's okay! This challenge is liberating because I'm realizing that I don't have to spend hours on something and I don't even have to love it when it's finished. I just have to try things and stretch myself... sometimes it works and sometimes not so much. But either way, I'm enjoying the process. And for me, that's real progress!

I can't believe you glued all those dots down, they look so even and perfect. I like the simplicity of this layout and I really like what you have written on the right side with the big YES at the bottom.
Woohoo, back on track with the art journal. That's good news, especially after a day of not blogging and a couple days of the blahs. I hate it when you feel that way because I can't do anything to help you feel better.
Way to push through the pain and make yourself do something. Your page is cool, and it's brave of you to draw something. I love the circles too.
Your wings look fine! Doodling is not an easy thing to do. It's as much an art as anything, and it can be learned. I'm glad you're back on track with your journal. Maybe you'll even get back up to two or three layouts a week.
I have been missing your art journal!! I am SO glad you are back to it! If it makes you feel better, I recognized them as wings! :)
Glad you are feeling better! I really missed you Tuesday night!!
so great to see another entry. i enjoyed hearing your thoughts about it as well. I need to get better about just being creative and not always loving what I do. I think that is very liberating. Thanks for sharing.
