Day 29 and 30

January Journaling continues, here is the page from yesterday. I mad a background of watercolor and then added the paper borders. The poppy is a napkin. I had no idea of where I was going with this page. I found this picture of this little girl and bird and it looked so sweet to me. I couldn't help but think of spring.





















This page I did in the style of Pattie Mosca from Artfully yours, using the Awe Manac book by Jill Badonsky for inspiration. After journaling I added twinkling h20's to the background. I ended up celebrating National Blueberry Pancake day today even though it was 2 days ago and the pancakes were so good. I like all the little holidays that are mentioned in the Awe Manac book, it really is a lot of fun to celebrate them.

The Awe Manac

Just a little while ago I was fortunate to win this book over at Artfully Yours.

I had previously agreed to host Jill Badonsky in her book blog tour for this very book so I think that was great that I won this copy. Jill is the author of the Nine Modern Day Muses and a Bodyguard. If you are familiar with her first book you know what an incredible talent she is. You may have also seen her articles at Creativity Portal. I will be interviewing her and posting that interview on February 18th. So be sure to check back for that event.

A little note about her new book. It is really fantastic. With one look at my copy my friend Kate's response was Oh I need a copy of this. Its a page a day guide to keep your creativity going, full of inspiring quotes and ideas. Check out the article More Excerpts from The Awe-manac at creativity portal

Also don't forget to check back February 18th to see my interview with Jill.
