Oh my lucky stars

This week's challenge at Journaling Junkie is to journal about something that has special meaning to you. I'll be honest and say I really am not a very sentimental person, so I had a hard time thinking what I should do. Then it occured to me that something I consider "lucky" is pretty much the same thing as being "special."

DJ (my husband): What I want to know is WHERE do fruit flies come from??
Shade (my 16 yo daughter): Well, when one fruit fly meets another fruit fly, they...

It's beginning to look a lot like...

A bunch of cards and tags and stuff. DJ went out for beers last night and I put on Christmas music and made all these. I think I got the better end of the bargain.

Run of the River Players

I do the graphics for a local Theater company in my town. I never knew they had a blog! You can check it out here. If only I were brave enough to act! They always seem to have so much fun, but guess I'll have to stick to the picture drawin'.

Hey you

Allyson Bright Meyer, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Altered Art Illustrated and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Scrapbook Projects Illustrated is hosting a contest on the Journaling Junkie Blog. My take can be seen there as well (not for the contest though, I am on the DT). I have to say, I didn't"want" to do this challenge, but I LOVED it. What a process to write a letter to yourself, the you from your past. Quite therapeutic, I must say, and released a flood of emotion that I wasn't quite prepared for. Even if you don't enter the contest, I encourage you all to at least take the challenge just for yourself. And remember, it's not a design contest, its all about the journaling.
