Oh my gosh, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2014 is here already and it feels like I barely got to know 2013.
With the new year comes a heap of resolutions...right? Right. I'm a resolution makin' machine and over the year's I've kept some really important ones so I continue to keep up the tradition. Something about new beginnings that make us stop and take stock of our lives. But that's another post for another time.
My resolutions usually include: read more, exercise more, travel more, quit doing this, definitely stop doing that, play more, smile more...
But I also have a long-list of crafty resolutions:
More goals exist in that lofty, dreamy area of my brain, but these are the ones I feel are most important and attainable.
To help me keep my art journal resolution I found two colorful and thoroughly enticing titles at the library, Art Journal Workshop by Traci Bunkers and Journal Junkies Workshop by Eric M. Scott and David R. Wodler. I also found two thrift books to journal in that I purchased from a Friend's of the Library booksale. Come tomorrow, I'll be ready to start 2014 with my first messy and colorful journal page! I also resolve to post more about art journaling in the new year, so stay tuned for that.
Do you have any crafty resolutions? Let us know in the comments.
May your 2014 be happy and crafty!

- I resolve to sew more.
- I resolve to finish more projects that I start.
- I resolve to learn more about basic painting techniques.
- I resolve to keep an art journal.

Linda, I have a serious paper addiction too. It's okay--if we resolve to use it all up this year ;)
