I started Journaling my Christmas on Tuesday December 1. I have really been enjoying it. I love waking up early in the morning to take some time for myself to journal. Although, I have to admit – I usually end up spending more than my allotted time on this. I drink my coffee & let my creative juices flow. A little later, my kids wake up one by one & stumble out the dining room where I am working. As they rub their eyes, they pull out a chair to join me. It’s a perfect way to start the day.
I find that I am usually running a day behind the class. I’ll spend the morning collaging the topic that was prompted. Then, the next morning, I end up journalling after I’ve had all day the day before to think about what I want to write about.
I decided to use a new technique in my art journalling this go around. I watched some instructional videos from Teesha Moore – my favorite journal artist. I have to say that its working out well for me. In the past when I’ve tried to create things that are inspired by other artists, I’ve gotten really frustrated. This time, however, it’s flowing.
What have you been doing to take a little time for yourself during this busy season of joy?
