New favorite blog site...





I came across this blog site by Keri Smith called The Wish Jar. I instantlyly tuned into her personal style and the books she authors, such as Wreck this Journal. They are interactive and FUN..FUN...FUN... I am going to put them on my wish list. The non-planner is my first choice



Go to Keri's website and check her out http://kerismith.com/blog/index.html Let me know what you think and if you are interested in checking out her books with me.

Pages from my art journal...





I have been journaling regularly.  My favorite piece right now is the 'Defining Me' page.  It is also a work in progress as I have been defining and re-defining myself these past five (5) five! years since treatment began for breast cancer in July of 2003.  I think I'll work on the next page today as I have had some reconstructive surgery 3 weeks ago and the image of myself has changed, both internally as well as externally.  


The only thing constant in life is change and if you're not changing...you're not growing.
