What is art, or creative, journaling? It's taking a blank book (or page) and dumping your feelings onto it, using whatever sorts of marks and materials you desire, text optional. My grownUPs class meets on the third Thursday of each month - the above sample is a demonstration of what I call "Reality Doodling," making a doodle inspired by an actual object.   Toodle-Loo   I'm off tomorrow for a whirlwind visit with my new godson.   Behave while I'm gone, will you?   I will check email occasionally, and may respond if the baby is asleep and I haven't had too much sangria (and I speak from experience in saying that, yes, you can have too much sangria).   I'm returning to town just in time to teach next week's grownUPs Journaling class (at Little Monsters Toy Store from 6-8pm).   I am REALLY excited about this new lesson I've prepared - it's tactile and patterned and a riot of gooey delicious color.   RSVP if you wanna come!!
