But I do get what you're saying. And I agree. Not every page of an Art Journal needs to be a "Masterpiece"... I like to keep a "Written only" journal for the more private issues.

I think it's be a great challenge. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480453320578082838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218211723222427302.post-148698479338527802012-10-09T18:24:44.900+01:002012-10-09T18:24:44.900+01:00You're page is actually quite pretty.

That being said, keeping a journal that one writes out the evnts of their day, or feelings about a fight they had with a loved one, or writing out feelings about the demons that live within, is also something I find difficult.

But I know what you mean about some pages turning out, shall we say, less than pretty. And sometimes, in my case, downright scary! So I wouldn't want to show them to anyone, but the actual exercise of jouurnalling probably really helped on those pages. Thats probably what Bridget was getting at I guess. <br />PS I love your new look!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545356340218366304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218211723222427302.post-52531569596762863792012-10-07T20:36:30.393+01:002012-10-07T20:36:30.393+01:00You never cease to leave me in awe.

So often, people only post their best work online, and journalers feel like their own work can't possibly compare. It's very freeing to learn there is no right or wrong and that a journal is a place to be free to try things and just express.terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218211723222427302.post-76473292045164910502012-10-07T14:18:05.031+01:002012-10-07T14:18:05.031+01:00I totally agree with your words Jenny.
