Journal Journey nears completion

So here they are, all thirty journals.  Lots and lots of hours of designing and painting.  They will be going to a shelter being made over by http://www.enchantedmakeovers.org/ along with a Canvas Painting and Art Blocks, that I will be sharing in the near future, along with some close ups of these journals.  It has been a satisfying and humbling experience.  I've learned alot about myself in the last couple of months.  To ensure I met the deadline for this project, I had to work at it everyday, so I started getting up very early around 4:30am - 5:00am most mornings, so I could put in a couple of hours before work.  If I waited to the end of the day, I would be tired, make mistakes, or not get to my studio.  Beginning my day when I had energy and focus, peace and quiet, was a delightful routine to get into and I plan on continuing, so I can put renewed energy into my Etsy shop http://www.bethscraftroom.etsy.com/   The creative ideas and designs are overflowing so fast in my brain these days, it's hard to keep away from my studio.  But I also look forward to journaling on my blog more and making a more consistant presence on Facebook, to share and interact with my creative community.
