WHEW!  Moving is such a chore!  I have been trying to play catch up on my art journaling and other projects since the move.  I am settled in and ready to roll. The first catch up is for my GET MESSY art journal.  You can find details here on how to join us...  https://getmessyartjournal.com/   You, too, can become a "Get Messian" :-) I am using an old book for my Get Messy Art Journal.  Here's the cover.  Just some collage and some letter and number stickers. I wanted to make a title page to represent the "Season of Happy".  More collage and letters.  Just random things lying around that make me smile. The title page and this spread were for prompt #1.  I actually had this old heart from another project last year that didn't work out the way I wanted so it got thrown into the "collage fodder" bin in my studio.

Here are three layouts that I have been working on in my art therapy journal.  I also do a lot of writing on the pages in between but I will just share the actual artwork that resulted from my musings and personal rantings.

As I sat and thought about all of my wishes and dreams for this lesson, I noticed that they all had to do with being happy- me, my family, my situation, etc.  So the theme for my piece is "Take a Voyage to your Happy Place". I love the background because I used lots of modeling paste and sparkle watercolors and spray inks and such.  Hope you like it !  Oh, and the Hula girl is me..... someday..... when I make it to Hawaii.... that would make me happy :-)

OMG!  I lurve Mitsi B!!!!  She is so cool! Anyway, check her out at  http://www.mitsib.com/ This lesson was about honoring your emotions and expressing the true you.  Here is my take...... this is the outside of my piece... And I'm not quite done with the inside but here is what I got so far.... On second thought, I think I will just wait until it's done :-)  My piece shows that it's ok to feel blue sometimes as long as you can see the bright side as well.
