This page was fine. It was okay. But it could be more fun so I gave myself a do over! I’m allowed to do that and so are you! It’s an art journal page not a legal contract! What is Let’s Play? It’s all about rediscovering the ability to play. Each month I share a specific [...]
Art Journaling
Is everything always pretty when I play? Nope! This week’s Let’s Play video is proof of that! It all started when I gave myself permission to change my mind about this page. I thought it was finished when I made it long ago, but it didn’t feel that way any more. So I added to it…and [...]
Did I have fun making this page the first time? You bet! Did I think it was all finished then? Yes! Can I change my mind and redo this page? Absolutely! I give myself permission to do over any art journal page I want. There was a time when I was overly judgmental about going back [...]
Do Over! Kids shout it all the time and so can we! This months Let’s Play strategy for rediscovering how to play is all about changing your mind and giving yourself a do over! There is no legal binding contract between us and our art journal pages. We do not need to put an attorney on retainer to change [...]
It wasn’t my fault I kept playing! Really! It was my muse! My goal was to use up the paint on my palette…but she kept whispering in my ear for more colors…more paint…so I HAD to keep playing. An endless loop of happiness! Can’t you just imagine how much she had to twist my arm [...]

For this week’s Let’s Play video and link party, I’m forcing my inner hoarder to use them! How? With one sentence. Use it [...]
It was just going to take a moment because all I was doing was using up the last bits of color on the brushes. Don’t want to waste the any part of the rainbow after all. No reason to turn on the video camera. This is just cleaning off a few brushes. And then I [...]
Negotiating with my muse is not a wise thing to do. My muse is not affected by whining, whimpering, or wishing. She was a total task master as I filmed this week’s Let’s Play video. I am so grateful she stood her ground! Use it or lose it is this month’s theme and this week was [...]
After sharing my video experimenting with Distress Crayons, I had a lot of people asking me how they compared to Gelatos. So, I thought I’d try them out in a video side by side and see how similar or different they are. Disclaimer: I am NOT a formally trained scientist adhering to strict rules of [...]
The spring cleaning continues as I use my hoarding tendencies as a way to jump start my creativity for this week’s Let’s Play video and link party! I have all these paper badges that I bought to make a couple of travel albums for each of my kids. Some of the trips were a decade [...]
