When life is too hectic, I love to spend some down time, going deep and reflecting. One way I do this is by Soul Collaging. So this week, I'll share one of my images and my thoughts on this image making. This collage was created during my monthly meeting of beautiful soul collagers. Exploring your intuitiveness is an amazing experience that should become a part of your daily life. Here is what this collage says to me: "I am one who has gained wisdom through trial and error again and again. I have been running away from myself. It is only since I have come into the second half of life that I realize that there is no wrong, in any lesson ... Continue Reading »

What’s Happening in Studio Nookery…
I'm working in my new journal, each page is 15" x 11.5", so a total spread (2 pages) will be 15" x 23". That's big page art journaling for me! I started this morning and it is late afternoon and I still haven't gotten the ink off my fingertips, this should make for interesting conversation when I go out in public... Last year, so many wonderful and kind people admired my art journal pages on Facebook, that I'm now offering my art journal pages as magnets at my Etsy Shop. These little business card size magnets inspire creativity and come three to a package for $9.99! I randomly select from fifteen art journal images for your art journal ... Continue Reading »

December Intentions
Every month, I set intentions, which coincide with my goals for the year. Now it may be a play on semantics, but somehow, setting intentions and not meeting them is not as bad as setting goals and not completing them (at least in my mind). Next week, I will be looking over my goals from the beginning of the year to see what I did manage to complete, but if it's anything like this month...well...I can say I tried. :) and I will be fine with that. This week will be the first week in December that I will actually be able to finally get around to my intentions for this month. One personal goal, I've set for myself is not to "beat myself" up for ... Continue Reading »
