Art Journaling

Hello, again! And Happy New Year!

How has your 2012 been thus far? Mine has had its series of ups and downs. Getting sick, then starting a fun new class. That's what I wanted to share with you today. My art journaling.

Art journaling is like scrap-booking/painting digitally. It comes with all these fun brushes, layers, clip art, fonts, and mediums to work with in my *favoritest computer program of all...Adobe Photoshop!

My first assignment was to create something with the theme of HEART. So, this is what I made:

                                                               Based on Proverbs 4:23


The next day, I was assigned the topic of HOME.

A Chapter Is Closing, Graduation is Here!

12 years.

A lot can happen in that amount of time, and a lot has.

For the last twelve years of my life I have been homeschooled. Each year of homeschooling has looked a bit different, yet I still remember the early years. I remember sitting on my papa's knee as we'd pray after our family worship time in the morning. I remember snuggling up on the sofa with my mom and little brother Nathaniel to read our first literature course of "five-in-a-row" books. I was so delighted during the journey from cover to cover of my favorites like How to Make An Apple Pie and See the World, and Ping the duck.

Ah, such fond memories! Memories I will hold dear to my heart forever. But now, those days are long gone. That chapter in my life is closing, and a new one is opening. For today, I am graduating.

A lot of people have been asking me about my plans after graduation, so I want to dedicate this post to just that.
