Saying hi to all of you right from the middle of my Canada/USA art trip! :)
This has been such a rewarding experience - my students are so full of energy and enthusiasm that it truly makes my heart sing...
I can't possibly visit all the blogs and see all the comments but thank you all so much for your kindest words and reviews I've seen! ♥
Today, I'd like to show you some pages from my art journal.
This is a very special place for me -
- sometimes a safe haven to stop and reflect -
- a creative playground to collect memories -
- and at other times - an artistic gym to stretch my creative muscles. :)
I usually work quick and simply follow my intuition - no pressure, no specific rules, I just let the materials lead the way.
That's why I love journaling so much - for all the creative freedom it offers!
Here are some of my trusted supplies that usually accompany me in my journaling:
 |  |  |  |  |  |
 |  |  |  |  |  |
 |  |  |  |  |  |
I also add some lace and thread here and there for more dimension and splash some tea on the pages. :)
Hugs to you all!

Beautiful pages Anna! Loved our class, had so much fun, can't wait until you come again! I loved using your products too -- can't wait to order some of my own now.
Dear Anna,
Heard you are home and happy for you. My new dear friend you made a huge impressions on me. Your kindness has no bounds. I will treasure my canvas all my days as well as my time with you. I did want to bow when I meet you to the Mistress of all Mixed Media. I hope that doesn't sound negative in any way. I have such reverend respect for you and your craft. Now having watched your techniques and learned I will continue to play and experiment on my own.
Your case will follow shortly, I had sorta of a adventure getting home involving me getting sick, a grocery store, police, fire department and a cab. On Monday, I will get it mail out to you promptly.
Until we meet again, stay well and I look forward to seeing your beautiful face and smile. (I can say these things cause I am probably old enough to be your mom - if you have time or want to text 1-720-217-4049).
Sincerely,
Diana Mustafa
