In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could do to any person; I create myself - Susan Sontag
>> 15 February 2009
What can I say? When I start something new I am always all excited. I have been filling pages of my 'art everyday book'. Above is a sneak preview of my entry into art journaling... I think I will have to go to the art supply store tomorrow to get some more stuff :-)
Does this happen to you?
You discover something new and it inspires and excites you. And you begin with it and can't seem to stop. It gives you satisfaction, empties your head, makes you feel creative, alive, full of joy.
What have you recently discovered that had this effect on you?

Mimi,
I love the artwork here! And I completely understand the quote about our journals creating us. Great post!
@ iHanna: Thanks for visiting and have fun with the embroidering.
@ Arty Em: I am indeed. I put energy in and it comes flowing right back at me. Thanks for visiting.
@ Daphne: Thanks Daphne. You are becoming a regular :-)
Yes, I do SO love being obsessive! :) I think I'll have to start art journaling. I mean, I suppose I do already, but I think I'll need to buy a nice "artist journal" vs. my usual spiral notebook that I just cover with doodles and words.
