I won!!

 
There's a reason for showing these pitiful blank journals, all journals that I've nmade with visions of me filling them up faster than I could make them.  Journals with "stuff" hanging outside the edges, bulging with the tidbits of my life and lots of art.  Well, it didn't quite work that way:)  I try, I really do, but nothing ever really clicked with it, and I never made it a habit to actually sit down & journal on a regular basis.  That's all changing now-finally-read on, it'll all make sene:)  Whenever there's a drawing or raffle or anything, I give it a shot, but seldom, if ever, do I win.  Well, I just broke that streak!  Remember a short time ago, I posted about a drawing being held over at MMCA?  The prize that was being given away was a month of an LK Ludwig's online journaling class, round 2 of her Point & Shoot journaling class!!  I participated in the October round, and wrote about it here, loved it, learned a lot, and was planning on taking the next class anyway so it was perfect.  Now I'm learning tips & tricks, no special equipment needed, just some time, and that I can do.  Here's my poor journal that I've been working on for several years, that's one sad looking journal!  But soon, I'll be posting those filled to the brim kind of journals that I've loved for so long!  There's still plenty of time to join in, just go back up & cick your way over there:)  And a huge thank you to Debbie Overton for coming up with the idea of the drawing and for digging into your own pocket to pay for it!

That's so exciting to win something like that! Congrats! And here's even more incentive... join some of us for NaNoJouMo - Taking after NaNoWriMo you may have heard of, where writers write every day in November to compile a novel - only we're doing OUR take on it Journal style - trying to journal something every day in November! Dawn Sokol and I dreamed it up very impromptu over Twitter one night right at the end of Oct. I have been posting my pages on my blog and Flickr site and on a Journaling group (I think you're part of) on Facebook - Art Journaling Group. Dawn also started a NaNoJouMo Flickr group - so plenty of places to show off all those juicy journal pages! I for one can't wait to see them!
