First off! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I know I am a little late but better late then never! *wink*
This art journal page is the beginning of a new journey!
For Christmas my wonderful hubby bought me this
Art Journal Caravan with Tangie Baxter and Amanda Sexton
I am ready to take this new and exciting journey!!! It looks like tons of fun!!! It starts today 1/1/2010!! Wish I could of told you about it sooner but just discovered it right before Christmas!
I (as you know) am no digital artist and not a scrapbooker....but this seemed to be calling my name loud and clear. I am definately not new to art journaling....but not above learning new things!!! So that is where I am at right now!

Eeeekkkk, Nancy! That's quite a present you got there!!! I'm dreaming of joining all kind of things, but I'm setting up my own community and workshop "as we speak" so not much playing time for me right now... (although preparing workshops is playing too!!! You must know!) Anyway, I hope to get a peek into your flickr group later this year... untill then, have fun with all the exciting new journeys!
