Some pages from June 2016. xo Alicia

December is already half way through! I was asking the Universe to slow things down a bit, as I can savor these Holidays. I've decided that after this week's posts I'm taking the next two weeks off from blogging. I'm taking that time to rest, reboot, and get re-inspired. xo Alicia

Creating. These art journal pages are my magic. Some days they are plain, other days colorful and vibrant. No matter what is going on in my life when I sit down to begin working on any of these pages, I feel magical . Just like when I'm preparing a meal each ingredient that I add to my cauldron adds to the creation and I feel all warm and fuzzy. xo Alicia

The time change has thrown me off a bit. I'm still trying to find my rhythm. xo Alicia

Well this month has been something else. I haven't posted as regularly as I normally do. I decided to take the month off from FMS' Photo a Day challenge , cause I just wasn't feeling it. I'm hoping that'll change in November. We shall see. I've been following along with The Right Brain Planner   on self-directed study. So I've taken almost no pictures the month of October, I made my art journal/gluebook for the New Year, I followed along with Journaling Junkie 's journaling challenge, and started crocheting again. I'm hoping to keep all this up. I'm loving how 'productive' I've been. xo Alicia

Positive Results I did one morning last week of morning pages. It was good. And I'm looking forward to creating and writing morning pages maybe twice this week. Baby steps xo Alicia

Times of rest, even from your art. I didn't touch my art journal for two weeks at the end of August. I wanted to grab it and glue things in there and write things out but I just wasn't feeling it. I did get a huge surge of creative ideas and inspiration. Things I wrote down for future projects. Ideas that have left me excited. xo Alicia

I'm reading The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron  and started the Morning Pages practice. The first morning was actually easy and it all came pouring out. The second morning was harder to get out. It felt like I was all over the place and I had to pause to think at what I wanted to get out. This past weekend my morning pages were all about letting go of the past. Healing this particular phase in my life and ultimately finished with forgiving my self for these missteps and realizing that they are/were lessons to grow from. xo Alicia
