Promise!!

I am getting really excited for the Journal Project that will be starting this coming Friday at the Shoppe.     I know that I am the facilitator,  but in prepping for it I have revitalized my own journaling practice and have found some super cool new techniques for mixed media that will work well with journaling.    I even filled my current journal and got to start a new book.  This one has a stunning brocade cover that catches the light in a wonderful way.  The paper is nice, a little tooth, medium/light weight,  can't soak the pages but I should be able to use reasonable wet media,  and they are just a tiny bit cream.   I kind of like that in a book.   It is about 5 x 7, and about an inch thick,  so I can carry it everywhere.   There is nothing like the promise embodied in a new blank book,  now, if I only had a brand new box of crayons to go with it.    Maybe I'll treat myself to a visit to the art supply store over the holiday weekend.
