Well of course, they have an app for this!

Wow, I can't believe I still have access to this!  I was thinking about blogging again only to have a place to post creative ideas and possibly do the Tim Holtz tags.  I totally got caught up in reading old posts, had a good cry, too.  So many memories.

So lately I've been inspired by Mixed Media, Art Journalling, and as always, Tim Holtz.  Working at Michaels, and having that store discount helps!  Although I must have most of his stuff that we carry already!  I really should put it all in one place.

Just writing this for my own peace of mind.  I want to get an "art area" set up in my room.  Most of my scrap booking stuff is at Taira's but I can focus on at here.  Been collecting some paints, mediums, sprays, stencils, pencils and paper.  Time to DO something with them, we'll i played a little, but the desk got cluttered.  Also been doing a lot of surfing to learn about Art Journalling and supplies.  This latest obsession got started off when Judy gave me a copy of Somerset Memories.  Wow!  I love the combination of mixed media and scrap booking, and have been interested in playing on canvases for a while.  This kinda brings together a bunch of creative ideas I've had.

First it was the texture paste that fascinated me, then Gesso, then other mediums being used with templates.  Then I found a reproduction Sears Catalog from 1902, and a old book by Max Beerbohn, who it turns out is buried at St. Paul's in London!  Totally have to tour that next time, hopefully Summer 2015.

Writing this on the iPad I won from Spotted Canary.  Funny how something I had no clue about has become indispensable!  Love the autocorrect!

Hmm note to self, it doesn't want to publish from the iPad.

More on my new creative journey next time...it's really made me feel more positive writing this. :)
If I keep blogging I will have to update the banner.
