Bob brought in today's mail that included an intriguing package and asked me what I had ordered. "Nothing," I replied. "It's something I won!"
I found an email last week in my spam folder (always check your spam folder) that I was the winner of a copy of Journal Spilling by Diana Trout.
When it arrived today, I felt so inspired that I made a commitment to myself to write a blog post for the first time in almost a year. I think that Journal Spilling is just what I needed to get me out of the creative funk I've been in recent months.
I was excited to win the book, but when Diana's package arrived today, I felt like a child on Christmas morning. I can't wait to use all of the amazing goodies in Diana's package. Just look . . .
If you have any interest in art journaling or mixed media techniques, please check out Diana's wonderful book. You won't be disappointed. You can also check out Diana's blog, Hub Bub, her website, or her Etsy store.
Thanks Diana for your generous giveaway and for jump starting my creativity and encouraging me to get back to my journal to "spill my heart."
I loved this book. I am taking a class from Diana at Art & Soul in Hampton, VA in May.
