source If you hadn't noticed, I'm art journaling at the moment so my link love is a little art journal heavy. Punk Projects shared an art journaling page from Mou Saha. I really like the links that Natalie from Awkward & Beautiful shared. She is also hosting an art journaling class again this year! In the Sun 2012 . I had a good time following along last year, so I'm in again! What? Not about art journaling? Check out this Amazing Book Sculpting over @ Deer Little Fawn. This post from Vanagon Champion makes me want to take off! I need a Westy! Have a Splendid Weekend! xo Alicia

A few more prompts from last week. Ummm this one might be seen as a cheat but I'd had this flyer laying around for quite some time. After all these years it is still my dream home. Plus, I didn't feel like doodling it again. I did last year. xo Alicia 

These are the pages from last week's prompts xo Alicia

My cousin is in from out of town. So we hung out last night and had a few beers. It was great catching up and getting out of the house. This also left me with no time to prepare a proper post. I'm also trying to work on my 30 day journal challenge pages. I don't wanna fall behind. Like how I reused my 30 days of lists page? I just cropped out my writing. xo Alicia
