art journal stuff

it's been awhile since i've shared some of my creative pursuits on paper. i have been inspired to do some really free-style things. the kind of things that don't really have a place...don't really belong in the family scrapbook album. but it is what is coming up for me right now. this page below is one of those. it's an 8 1/2 by 11 page (my usual scrapbook size), but i don't know if it's going into an album. maybe it's the start of a new art journal album. i usually do those in smaller journals. hmmm....





these next two are from my latest art journal. i started it on my birthday with the intention of writing in it daily. that hasn't happened, but i have kept up with it somewhat. i add to it with magazine clippings, stamps, whatever looks like it needs to make it's home in there! then i write later because often the writing mood and the collage-ing mood don't coincide.

in other news...noah is in full potty training mode. he has had plenty of accidents, but today is the third day and he has already peed TWICE in the potty!!!! yeah!!! there is light at the end of the tunnel - whew!
