This week I accomplished a whole lot of half-things. Which is to say, I started a lot, but finished a little. I feel like I’ve been washing the same load of laundry for a month. And I’ve been reading the same paragraph of the same…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Magic, Week 3
[So… most of this post was thrown together well before yesterday’s tragic events in San Bernardino. This is not a post about grief or guns. But those things, rather than paint and sketchbooks, are what I’m actually thinking about today.] This week was sort of…

Today: Get Messy Art Journal | Magic, Week 2
With Thanksgiving this week, I didn’t get much done in the way of creating (except for a plate of super easy, semi-lazy, delicious onion tartlets) until last night. For the second week of Get Messy Art Journal‘s magic theme, I went semi-dark. Once I broke…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 5
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 | Words, Week 3
This post is a day late. I mention that simply so you don’t fear that I’ve entirely lost track of days (though… some days…). If you’d like to learn more about the Get Messy Art Journal program, click on over. Get Messy Thursdays | Words,…
