Christmas Art Journal.
Feeling a bit better today - thanks for all the kind thoughts.
One of my favorite parts about the holidays last year was participating in Shimelle's Christmas Art Journal Class. Even though I didn't finish it last year, I love how it connected me daily to the holiday season in an artful and reflective way. I love that it gave me something to focus on and pushed me to try new things.
Here is one sample page I completed last year:
The rest of my pages from last year are located in my Art Journal folder to the right.
I highly recommend this experience. No pressure. Just good prompts and lots of sharing with others on the same journey. Not sure yet if I am going to have a chance to participate this year - December is shaping up to be pretty busy for us with a couple weekend workshops, a vacation, and hopefully a move into a new house. If my new house gets decorated I will consider that a huge accomplishment.
AND...if you leave a comment on here between now and 5pm Pacific today (my time) you will be entered into a drawing to take the class for free. Shimelle gave me two spots to give away - so make sure to leave your name in the comments. I will draw two names later tonight or tomorrow.
Love the christmas journal. I am going to try to make one this year. I think I found it mid year last year.This weekend would be great to get everything together for it...Happy Thanksgiving!!

Your journal is beautiful, Ali! I have never taken a scrapbooking class. I think I might have to try it!

Oh, and thanks for the "gift of time" - I had planned on being up in BC for the weekend, and it's kind of nice to have a weekend with NOTHING scheduled now. :) {I figured I'd save my 'weekend away' for your rescheduled class!}

Glad you're feeling better. This is the first day in a couple of weeks I have been completely free to scrap and I am miserable with a cold. Enjoyed your page. It's has given me couple of ideas for future page.

I remember seeing you journal last year and thinking about what a great way it was to really focus on every day - not just the 25th. I'd love to be entered!

Greeting from Chicago! I NEED a creative outlet for December. December and January are our busiest time of year at work and we get no time off. Gotta love tax season! :)

Hey Ali, really glad you're feeling better.
I was going to be in the class you would've been teaching right now. Can't wait for January's classes - but by then the anticipation will have completely killed me!
Hoping for a spot in the Shimelle Christmas journal class!
