ArtJournals4Cancer: December 2011

Let the Healing Begin!

Art Journaling is a great way to get some of those feelings out that you just can't put into words. It's a great stress relief! There is no right or wrong! You can get back to some of the basics of just being a kid...do a little cutting and pasting, a little coloring, add a quote and be yourself! You can show people your work or keep it to yourself. What I love the most is creating and sharing with other people that like to art journal too. You would be surprised at how many wonderful comments you will get by just bringing along your art journal to your chemotherapy appointments! And what a wonderful way to spend the time. My Mom and I love to draw silly pictures while she gets her chemo. So grab some paper, some scissors a little glue and some crayons and have a try!

Now for a 365 project

Hello any of you out there......I'm taking a break so to speak from art journals 4 cancer. It was a tough thing to start and an even tougher thing to finish after my Mother died. I still want to do ArtJournals4Cancer by creating art journals to give to cancer patients, but for now, I need a mental break from cancer. Something a bit more light hearted after this summer and autumn. I'm be back at some point, but for now, I'm going to try doing a 365 + 1 project...barefoot. It should be fun and maybe will bring my spirits back. My heart goes out to all of you with cancer.
