Journalfest event has gone live. I'm still not doing any travel teaching, and I'm still cutting way back on my traveling without my family, as these last days of my daughter's senior year are flying by :( ; but I hear great things about Journalfest, so if you are looking for good journaling classes, check it out.












I love your journal pages...I keep trying but have yet to achieve the look I really, really like. Seeing yours gives me hope. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your creativity with me and so many others.
I'm just curious, do you keep all your paints and pens and journal stuff out ....so that you work on the pages at all times during the day or night.....or are you just sitting down and creating in one fell swoop? I know it's kind of nosey of me, but i just wonder how different people manage time, family, creative motivation etc.....
Your work is just wonderful and unique....no one should try to copy, just let your inner stuff hit the page running!!

Pam, it is so good to see all of your journal pages again. I'm starting my 8th journal and feel like I've progressed. I hope to share them with you one day. Keep creating - keep inspiring!

Thanks for sharing more pages from your awesome journal. It has taken a few years but I feel like I'm finally in the grove of art journaling. I was struggling with how to get ideas and I just figured it out :) I'm re-teaching myself cursive and doodling.

Beautiful pages! I'm wondering the same thing as jo.

thanks everyone! to answer your question jo, um, well, yes...i do tend to keep many of my journal supplies like pens,crayons and journals out...just because i'm not very organized ("a place for everything and everything in it's place" is not a phrase that comes to me naturally). additionally, i always think i'll be getting right back to a project. my kids are old enough that i don't have to worry that leaving a tin can of pens on the coffee table will result in marker on the couch :) all that said, i don't have a place where i leave my paints and messy things out, but there are many times i wish i had a dedicated space for that. ...thinking about using part of the garage so i can be free to be really messy.

two things, no, three,
1. you have a daughter who's a senior?! you're not old enuf!!
2. i looooooooooooove your work so much, it makes me ...um,i dunno.
3. i see a comment in the journal that asks 'how do i want to live my life': and i guess i take comfort in the fact that someone with your incredible talent and a family you love still questions how to do it all better.
thank you.

Beautiful pages! I just started art journaling last summer, and find your work to be such a rich source of inspiration. I love all of the layers and layers you include on your pages...and I spend quite a bit of time just staring at them, to figure out some of the techniques you use, so I can attempt to incorporate them in my journal and other collage projects. Thanks for posting!
