Journaling Expectations for 2014

The first thing to do is get out our fantastic Dylusions journal. I am a believer in using what I have on hand, however after seeing this journal and working with it THIS IS THE BEST JOURNAL EVER!

The paper is simply the best, perfect weight and absorbency for inks and other mediums. Sturdy and delicious! The covers are solid and protective, they will not fall apart. The band that holds the book is again, just right for a long life.

I will first cover my opening page with the Colors I hope to see in 2014. Bright, encouraging, and hopeful colors for me and the world!

My BIGGEST EXPECTATION is to be FRESH

MY EXPECTATION IS TO STAY ON TRACK

It does not matter what the issue is, but simply to do it fully and completely! The satisfaction of something crossed off the To-Do list is always so rewarding.

Stay with me as I go forward on the journey throughout 2014 (The Chinese Year of the Horse).

With Sincere desire for the Very Best Year Yet.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
