Be the good.

I found this image on pinterest. & loved it.

I have been wanting to play around with some stuff in my art journal with fonts & simple drawings. So, I thought, I'll take this saying & remake it in my art journal, just for fun. This is what I came up with.

Not sure I like it better than the orginal image, but I do like that I took the time (which is hard for me to do) to play around in my art journal. Cause that is just good for my soul.

& helps me grow.

Plus it's just a good message.

BE THE GOOD.

Art Journal. Chances.

I decided to do a bit of playing around in my studio today. I haven't done that in a while. So, I pulled out a few things & did a bit of good ol' playing. It always feels good to art journal. I wish I took more time to do it, but really it usually is a last priority when it comes to what needs to be done.

Today I am glad for this. & I am going to try to remember to keep this saying in the fore front of my mind.

*TAKE EVERY CHANCE. DROP EVERY FEAR.*

art journaling with Dax.

Things are for sure back to normal around here. It doesn't take Dax long to wondering into the studio & want to work on an art project. For a while I have been wanting to start an art journal with him that he could work on everyday in a special book. So, we finally did it. He cut a few things out of a BMX magazine & added some stickers & some colored pencils. He was in Heaven.

& so was I.

It makes me so happy that this little guy of mine loves art as much as me. I love that we have this thing we both love to do together. I hope to do it at least a few times a week with him & take photos of his pages, so we have them saved.

Telling my story.

I have been taking an art journal class by Elise & Rachel. I just needed that extra push to be a bit more creative lately.

Trying to get my mojo back.

here is what I have done so far,... check out the rest over on the right side in a photo album.

Art Journal.3

Decided to get out my art journal this morning, I came up with the above image. I guess vacation is on my mind as summer feels like it is approaching.

Other directions I am currently assessing: what to create? when to create? when to go outside & have an adventure? when to just sit on the floor & play with the boys? when to have me time? what to do between it all?

Art Journal.2

I created this a few days ago. I love spray paint. It really is one of my favorite tools when it comes to making art journal pages.

& YES I have so many crafty ideas running through my head right now. Unfortunately the reality is I have very few minutes everyday to create anything. I need to figure out a better way to be more productive in those few minutes.

At least Rudd is getting big enough that he can sit up on my lap while I type on the computer. (That makes me smile).

Today: I have worked out, cross fit style. Worked on getting 7 jewelry orders done. Hung out with my sisters for a bit while my grandma (89) was out to see my new nephew. Had lunch with them (sandwich). Had my eye brows waxed (finally). & I have a haircut this afternoon (finally). Dax is down for a nap now. Time to clean the floors.
