Postcard Swap

One of the great things about the internet is connecting with people. And one of my favourite things is participating in swaps with other artists. Hanna is hosting her first swap – a DIY postcard swap – and she is welcoming everyone to join in. Click on her banner below to see all the details.

Don’t forget to come back here – I will post pictures of my postcards as I send them out.

A Sneak Peak

I thought I would give you a sneak peak into my latest art journaling project. If anyone has any christmas stamps with images of the Madonna & Child on them that they are happy to part with I would  love to hear from you.

Kathryn’s Gift

Did you see the Calendar that Kathryn – Collage Diva – gifted to visitors of her True North Arts Blog? If you haven’t you need to go to her blog and check it out.

I spend so much time at work now – I am trying to bring little touches to work that make it more me! I have a bamboo plant that sits on my desk and a painting that I painted on the wall. The latest touch is the True North Arts Calendar, sitting here on my desk next to my computer. I used my bind it all to spiral bind it. How will you display your calendar?

Looking back … Looking forward …

What better way to celebrate the dawning of not only a new year but a new decade, than with some journaling. I find inspiration in many places, in real life, on the internet and through art friends. My journal pages today are one example of this.

This journal spread was inspired by Lynn Fisher and her prompt about facing yourself. I thought I would look back on 2009 as well as looking forward to 2010.

Still on the theme of looking back over the year that was, Kathryn – Collage Diva created these beautiful journal pages to record the accomplishments of 2009 and the things that we want to focus on in 2010.

What will you accomplish in this new year?

Sunlight & Shadow

Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
