more journal pages . . .

Thank you Lisa, Edina and Beth for the nice comments and for visiting - it is nice to know someone is still reading out there!

It has been fun to have my journal home (from 1000 artist journal pages) - most of the pages have a base of artwork so I can play a little bit on different pages and read what I wrote before! Off to Burbank VERY early tomorrow morning - I am planning on taking lots of photos to share the weekend with you.

I'm back . . . . .

If anyone is still reading this blog you must have bloglines otherwise most people would surely have lost interest by now with the lack of fresh posts. On that note if you aren't using bloglines you should try their free subscription service . . . . I was resistant at first but it is a great time saver. The feeds let you keep up with lots of your favorite blogs without visiting if there isn't a new post.

this journal page has paper I made in a class with Anne Bagby at ArtFest 2007

another page using some more of the same paper

This weekend I am headed to Carol Park's Studio in Burbank, CA for Sabrina Ward Harrison's workshop . . . it should be very inspiring! I am just wrapping up everything from Spring Quilt Market for my pattern business, Liberty Star, the workshop will be a welcome repose from the flurry of activity over the last few weeks.

A little bit of play in my journal that just came back home . . . this is my journal that has been away on an adventure of sorts getting photographed for 1000 Artist Journal Pages by Dawn Sokol. I got to peek at Dawn's copy of her book yesterday and it is BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations to Dawn on such a fantastic job - every page is absolutely beautiful . . . lots and lots and lots of inspiration - it is an eye candy extravaganza! I can't wait to get my copies! I am lucky to have my journal on the front cover and you can see a little bit of this page here before I worked on it last night.
