Make a Journal Jar

I am still in my "journal" mode of thinking, and I thought I would search the internet for lists of journal prompts (ideas or things to journal about) and I found many lists. But I also discovered Journal Jars! A few of the sites had mentioned these, you just write journal prompts on little slips of paper and put them in the jar... then you pick one out every day and that is the topic you write about :) Sounds like a good idea to me! These prompts can also be used for your blog entries or you can make an art journal page about them!

Here's a few sites with great lists of journal prompts:

You can literally find hundreds of websites with lists of journal prompts because they are used so often by teachers. So if you don't find any inspiration from those links (impossible!) then you can just do a web search on "writing prompts", "journal prompts", "blog prompts" etc.

Blah.

Nothing much happening in the blog world today! Hah, none of my favorite blogs have updated :( I'm bummed out about this. The weather outside really isn't that great, is it???????

I just checked out weather.com and realized that it's going to storm tonight and tomorrow =/ I'm supposed to go out to dinner and a movie tonight (the bounty hunter) with a friend. We were originally supposed to go yesterday but she wasn't feeling so great. We'll probably eat some mexican food :) What are you doing tonight?

Inspiration: Art Journal pages

Sources for images located under the pics ;) Don't these pages seem as if they must take forever to create?

Inspired: Art Journal

I don't know why I had never heard of art journaling until a few months ago, but I am loving the idea of it! A journal where you can paint, scrap, etc and write journal entries right there in the middle of it all? Sounds like a perfect way to capture that particular time of your life to me.

There is a Art Journal online class that Elsie & Rachel are hosting that I would love to be a part of :) It's $60 to join though, and I'm not quite sure I'll be able to afford it =/ Sign-ups don't start until April 1st (yay! time to collect money! haha) and the 6 week class starts on April 26th. It sounds like a lot of work but you get to work at your own pace, and make your very own journal masterpiece! I look forward to the inspiration, and to learning a little more about myself.

Wow, Late Night.

I have been deprived of the internet for the last few weeks and now I can't seem to get away from it! HAH. That's terrible! I am searching for storage ideas for my soon to be created crafty space. Shall I share? Okay..
