It's about time!!! Trying something new here very soon!!

Hey all! I was out of town last week for a much appreciated vacation (as much as you can appreciate after doing a mountain of laundry & packing, then coming home to unpacking and a hill of laundry!! LOL but it was great to be somewhere else for a few days.)

I've been toying with some ideas and things I've been wanting to try. Meant to have this ready to launch today since it's a new month, I'm a new age and the month came in on a Monday.

See, I've been trying to get this art journalling thing going. I took all the fantastic courses at Strathmore (they're closed now but have more planned for January--keep an eye out!!). I follow The Sketchbook Challenge, A Year in the Life of an Art Journal and several prompt providers---not to discount them but don't want to miss anyone right now. I'll mention them as I go along.

Throughout the year, my favorite prompts have been a scavenger hunt type nature, add this & that and so....I want to try this for myself and I'm inviting you to give her a whirl with me!!!

My idea is on Mondays to give you a color(s) theme---paint, pencil, paper, however you want to do it. Tuesdays---a technique, maybe. Wednesday---ephemera & add ons. Thursday---a tool or surprise. Friday (maybe Thursday) a prompt to work on thru the weekend. Then share. I want you to be able to use what you have, not feel like you have to go buy something, unless you want to. I'm going to start working in a Strathmore Mixed Media Visual Journal, 9x12.

So what do you say?? Are you in??? While you pick your journal, I'm going to try to figure out a bit more here on blogger. Check back on Wed or Thurs for a mini challenge to start us off, ok??
