Starting an art journal

I'm embarking on a new endeavor and starting an art journal. I started thinking about it after Mom's post on creating a happiness journal and loved the idea.

I couldn't believe how many art journaling resources are out there though.  It's kind of intimidating.  A lot of them focus on the artistic nature of it all -- creating beautiful journals from scratch with all kinds of supplies -- but I was able to find a couple good books that start at the very basic beginning.  So I dug out an Amazon gift card I got for Christmas and went on a fun-filled Amazon shopping spree.  I decided on  The Creative Journal by Lucia Capacchione.  My package will be arriving next week.  Fun!
