If you take a peek at my sidebar, you will find a link to the new journal class I just signed up for, called ink blots. It starts tomorrow & I'm sooo excited. I'm so ready to start journaling again. It's so therapeutic. Just the very act of picking up a marker/pencil/pen/paint brush & putting it to paper makes me happy. I bought washi tape online (for the first time ever! eep!!), ordered a few hand carved stamps (will do a separate supplies post), and got a new moleskine sketchbook. It's nice to have a place to go to talk to other crafty girls, to get inspired, and have daily prompts. The first assignment, "Lesson 0: Teacher's Pet", is the one you see above. We were to journal what we hoped to get out of this class. I think the best part about taking a class like this, if not meeting/interacting with great girls, is the positivity. The online creative community has a way of making you feel excited about the littlest things, which is so nice in this negative world we live in. After a rough day, we can come home & soothe the mind/spirit with colors, and happy imagery. There are no rules & no one to please but yourself. The nicest & most supportive group of girls live online (well part time anyway! ;) .....and I can't wait to get messy & make something pretty with them!

"The online creative community has a way of making you feel excited about the littlest things, which is so nice in this negative world we live in." I 1 billion % agree with this!! I first experienced just postiveness from Craftster and now in the blog world, it's amazing how supportive and encouraging fellow creative minds can be!!
