Back Again...

I am back here again.  I have learned how to link this blog to another blog that I have started on Wordpress.  I am going to try to work on both and see what platform seems to work best for me.  Looks like Blogspot has made some changes to make all this a little easier so we'll see.  I so much want to blog regularly but it is difficult given all the stuff in which I am involved in my life.  I also want to participate in more on-line journaling classes and do more of my own journaling and post about it, too.

I have been doing a lot of Pintrest viewing lately and I have found a few other artists that I really like.  One in particular speaks to me.  She is here: http://visualblessings.blogspot.com.  Her journaling references her relationship with God and she is very visual with how she portrays that in her journals.  I was so blessed to find her blog.

I have, of course, purchased yet again more "washi" tape.  I put it in quotes because I don't really consider all the decorative tape that places like Michael's and Scotch Brand make real Washi tape.  It is fun and decorative but definitely not the real thing.  Here are a couple of pages from my daily journal that show the different tapes that I have purchased recently.  One really is a page of Japanese Washi tape and the others are knockoffs.  I also bought some Christmas patterns at Michael's yesterday (all for 40% off through today!) that I'll post later.  Don't know why I bought so many Christmas patterns but they were all lovely and they WERE 40% off!  LOL!

I really like using the decorative tape in my journals.  Here are some pages that I have prepped for journaling on another day.  I really like the first one where I added the paint AFTER I had tipped the tape over the page edge.  I was able to match the paint colors and it tickled me to be able to do that.  LOL!

 Hopefully I'll get the Christmas tape posted soon.  Sorry to be gone for so long.  Maybe I really can make this a habit of at least once per week if I really try!
