Monday I returned LIVE for Mixed Media Monday after a week off for work travel.  I had a great time but was excited to return back to my studio and get that paint brush in my hand.  It was the last page of my 10 X 7 art journal that we started a couple months pack.  I wanted this page to be simple yet special to how I was feeling…….Here is what  painted:

Thank you so much for joining me on this art journal journey.  The book is done and complete!  Boy does that feel great!  I will post a complete re-cap and video of the completed journal soon.  It is so bittersweet to complete an art journal and look back at it.  I can remember how I felt for each and every one of those pages.  It truly is a part of me that I am thrilled to be sharing.

 Thank you again for filling my heart and my Mondays with Mixed Media Mania!  I welcome everyone to join the Facebook Group HERE and share your projects!   Don't forget our May 2013 Creative Dare too! See you next Monday, May 20th LIVE at 6:00 pm (PST)
