There has been so much art goodness happening with Art Every Day Month. There has been loads of inspiration! Today, Michelle Ward’s Crusade #57 is my inspiration. Happily, both challenges are all about creativity and art. Michelle Ward’s Crusade this month deals with the music that makes you sing out loud. When I turn [...]
Art Journaling
I needed this reminder today. It is so easy to get lost in my head and lose perspective. Thanks to Art Every Day Month I found the message I needed today!
