The week 2 prompt for Journal 52 is (was?) “a Simple Place” and it was supposed to be in by LAST Sunday night, but I wasn’t in the moment I suppose. I have been working on it some, and will have it (and week 3’s “Makes Me Smile”) by THIS Sunday. I’ll post them both here…
I’m trying a double spread for “A Simple Place” and perhaps I’m a bit intimidated by so much space? NAH! I certainly feel like I’ve pretty much outgrown my mini journal and it isn’t even done. I seem to be expanding my art space needs while I shrink…
Interresting!

Week 1 Journal52 – Up Up and Away!
This is my first week in Journal52 and I like the idea so far. Clearly, posting/showing my work to others is a new thing for me, but I want to learn more and grow in my art, so I’m doing it anyway…
I found out how velum curls when you try to glue it, and used tape dots for the second piece. Live & learn!
Tangled up in zen
Worked on this during an interminable work meeting. This is the type of thing that keeps me from stabbing people out of boredom!

One Little Word
So, I didn’t think I could come up with only one (1) word to concentrate on for a whole year, but I realized that I had already come up with one when I decided to buy NO (as in NONE) art & craft supplies unless it is something that I have used up and need to replace it. I have so many supplies, my stash has a stash…
The word is USE. I am going to use the things I have purchased, use the information I have collected, and use the inspiration I have been squandering.
Not bad, I say.
