My creative habit: I've been working on this book regularly since late summer, first on the content, and then transcribing artfully into my book. I've reached that point in my creative process when I could easily lose interest. It's time to remember my goal: as I look back through the pages I've made so far, I'm not energized by the artwork itself -- and that's okay. My goal was not to create an amazing-looking art journal, but to focus on the content, presented Gina-style. I look forward to spending an hour or two a week on my book, which seems just enough to stay invested in it and not so much that I'm bored with it. (It also helps that I'm committed to sharing the pages here on my blog...until it's done.)
I just can't tell you how amazing this is. And the way you describe it- it seems like such a peaceful practice, sitting down and writing and CREATING something that is essentially so you. It really inspires me so much. Thank you.

In the photo above, where the right page is a bit cut off, I talk about G is for Guilt...and how I feel guilty for not giving more. Thank you so much for your comment, Chel, and your email, Sharon, and anyone else who has taken time to let me know I've inspired you. It really means so much to me!

I so like this...I'm inspired to do one myself. Keep sharing and doing what you do Inspire.

I am loving these--I just bought a new (much smaller) journal and I think a simple letter prompt might be the way to go...thanks for always being a picture of inspiration!
