I don’t have much in the way of actual words to share this week (which… let’s be honest… you’re likely 900% okay with this). I stuck to basic materials (scissors, paper, magazines, glue and a few pens) and made some equally basic pages. Sometimes basic…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 4
I got completely swept up in this week’s prompts and the chance to focus on favorite childhood stories. We grew up in a house full of books, with parents who loved to read to us, so there was a lot to draw from. I zeroed…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 2
This season, the Get Messy group (join the challenge here!) is focusing on serenity. I couldn’t help but laugh as I sat down tonight (eleventh hour, for life) to start another round of pages for this week’s Get Messy Thursdays post. This week has me craving…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 1
I’m so happy the latest season of the Get Messy Art Journal challenge has begun (I’m also so excited about this season’s theme: Serenity!). I seem to lose momentum between seasons and realize how much I benefit from the community, structure and accountability of this…
