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.
Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better!
LOVE the Christmas Journal...would love a free spot :o)
Sending you get well wishes from MI!

So glad you are feeling better...down with the flu is just not fun. I logged onto your site every day last year around this time (that's how I discovered your blog!) just to see what you created for your Christmas journal. I would so love to be able to do something like that....maybe I will be lucky and win a spot for the class!
Thanks again Ali, for all your inspiration. I have taken a couple CKU classes from you and you have taught me a new way to look at my life - through an artist's eye.

I have often wondered if you would move into a house. It's a lot of work and fun but worth all of it. The class looks fun but December is so busy!

Based on your feedback of the class last year, I was definitely going to take it this year so doing it for free would be even better.
Good to hear you are feeling better.
