So here goes nothing! I have loved creating in journals for as long as I can remember. I think my first diary was Holly Hobby and had a little gold lock on it! I don't remember how old I was....but I'm 54 now and STILL love journals. I may be talking to myself right now....but I have full faith that my people are out there and will find me and then we can share all about our cool papers we covet, the stickers we add to our books, how we paint, and what our go to markers are (I have a serious Micron addiction!!) When you find me, just know you fill my heart 💗 and I can't wait to get journaling together!

I fell in love with making altered books many years ago. Here are some I have created!

Happy New Year Everyone! I am not one for lots of resolutions, but this year I want to declare my focus in one word: consistent. I hope to make more consistent routines and practices in my life this year. I start today with coffee and my journal, this is my first dedication to being consistent for me this year. I hope you take a little time today to decide what you would like to see progress in your life this year. Share here if you feel inspired! Welcome 2026!!

So, I have started this group to offer my own ideas and experiences with art. Specifically the alchemy of art. All my life I have always used creating art to help me through transitions, good times and bad times in life. My plan is to pass my knowledge, experience, and passion onto others, the members of this group! So to start off, I have three workbooks available for you in the Classroom section of this group. These are available to you with your membership here. And any future workbooks, courses, or crazy ideas I create will also be available for you. Please check them out, use them to help improve your life. They are processes I have used for many years, but not nearly as well organized as the y are now. 😂 Enjoy!

You found me! Or you got an email from me… Or we connected somehow on social media… And you decided to check out my idea! Welcome, and thank you! I so appreciate you taking a look at my group, the Creative Book Club. I have been looking for a creative group to share about life, all the ups and downs, share stories and experiences, support one another when needed, and most importantly, express ourselves through art. No artists background needed, no training, or degrees. Just an interest, curiosity, and openness to learn how creating art can truly transform your life. It has for me, more times than I can count, and I want the same for you. The plan for this group is pretty simple: Create- art! The good, the bad, and especially the ugly Express- yourself! Tap back into who you are and what you want the world to hear (or see) Grow- ubiquitously! Through your art, grow as much and in as many directions as you can! Welcome, welcome! I am SO thrilled you are joining me!
