Salon de Maria Blog

I started a new journal - and coincidentally, a new chapter in my life.  I've kept journals ever since I could remember.  When I was a young girl I remember rating each day using a star-rating system.  One star meant bad day and five stars meant good days.  Other than that, I don't remember too much about my journals because they somehow got lost between all the moving I've done over the years. 

Anyhow, I decided this time that this journal would be a very fun and visual journal....a collage journal with thoughts mixed in.  And unlike some of my past journals, I'm intending for this one to be a very happy journal.  I got inspiration from Anahata Katkin - her work is so inspiring.  I took out all my card-making stuff last night and indulged in blissful creation which is pictured here ;) I even "transgressed" back to childhood and opened up a brand new box of crayons that I forgot about!

I highly recommend collage journaling.  It's very therapeutic...
