Creative journaling is a brand-new experience for me, so I was overwhelmed (in a wonderful way) by your encouraging comments. Since it’s Thankful Thursday, I thought I’d express my gratitude by sharing this charming little video. More encouragement to start/revive your own journal? Perhaps….

I love that video! Thanks so much for sharing it. Made me smile. 🙂
And I really liked your *own* first steps in creative journaling. I enjoyed your post about it, sorry I didn’t comment.

There’s so much generosity and love and creative freedom embedded in that video. I think the concepts apply to writing, as well. It makes me smile, too, so yay, another thing we share in common. 🙂
Never any expectations about comments…but thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

What a lovely little video. Such wonderful images (I was taken by the expressions on those bumblebees’ faces). It makes me think maybe I could try my hand at something like this if for nothing else, practice at keeping that nagging voice at bay.

Isn’t it sweet? And so encouraging. It’s an extension, of sorts, of what we learn in our yoga practice.
I’d love to see you try this, Tracy. It’s as effortless and joyful as you want it to be. I’m no expert, as you know, but I’ll try to answer any Qs you might have–or refer you to my friend cartazon, who helped get me started.

This morning I read the picture books, THE DOT and ISH by Peter H. Reynolds, to my children. They are both wonderful books and they reminded me of you and your artist’s journal. So beautiful, so inspiring, and so you.
Melodye Shore
I’d never heard of THE DOT OR ISH, but oh, I simply MUST have them both! Thanks for the recommendation…I’m going to add them to my b’day list. 🙂
(And may I also add that your children are very lucky to have you as their mom?)

Beautiful song and pictures… now I’m formulating a (scary) goal of one day painting/drawing the cover of my journal.
Melodye Shore
Not so scary, not really. Like the video says, have fun and remember to BREATHE. 🙂
Hey, you can practice with me — or check out some how-to videos/websites, if you’re looking for a more polished final product. Either way, I’d love to see your cover when it’s finished.

I’ll post pics when I eventually do it. 🙂 Unless it’s really really horrible and… no, even then.
Melodye Shore
Hurray! We’ll muster up our courage (and develop mad art journaling skilz) together.

Thanks for sharing the video, Melodye. I loved the colors she used for the butterflies. Happy doodling!!
Melodye Shore
Do you doodle? I’m not yet free-form in my attempts at art, but I’m working on it…and am having fun in the process!
saputnam
Yeah, I’m a frustrated artist at heart… everything I write on is loaded with doodles. You should see some of my original manuscripts!! LOL More doodles than words!
Melodye Shore
Lucky you! I’ll bet your pages are lovely.
