First Week of Art Journaling

I'm hoping to make this a daily habit. I think about what a treasure this would be at the end of the year to reflect back on and I hope that will be enough for me to keep moving forward and doing it. I'm terrible at keeping up with things like this but I'm going to do my darnedest to make it happen this year. My first two children have mostly empty baby books. I didn't bother getting a book for my third because I knew I wouldn't do it. Sad, huh?!

I've blocked out bits and pieces of the journaling to keep some sense of privacy. I'm working on the journal from the point of view that it's mine and not from the point of view that I'm making this for an audience. I don't to have to censor myself. I found some of my previous art journaling posted to Pinterest and I have to admit it made me feel funny inside. I didn't write anything super personal but the idea that someone else put it in a place where I hadn't intended it to go felt weird for a bit. I'm not sure why I felt that way about it because I did post it here on my blog and in my flickr stream which are both open forums. In the end, I was fine with it because it was obviously a source of inspiration for them.
