First, I was so excited when I opened Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's Friday post this morning! Julie has a regular Friday feature called Art Journal Every Day. Each Friday she offers a post about her daily art journaling practice and will include guest artist interviews, photos of her art journal pages, tutorials, etc. Last week she did a post about the five basic art journal supplies she would recommend to a beginner art journaler and then asked her readers to submit a picture of the five items they would add to her list. So I submitted my photos and found this morning that Julie had included my photos in her post this morning. Thank you Julie! Here is the link: Balzerdesigns.typepad/artjournaleveryday
Second, I have a new tutorial on the blog: Altered Book Binder Journal. I have had so many requests for instructions on how I make my art journal binders from old books, I finally took some pictures as I made my most recent journal. Check out the tutorial page on the tabs at the top of the blog.
Last, I have some recent art journal pages for The Documented Life Project and The Art of Practising Gratitude challenge.

Mary, Julie's blog is actually where I saw your page and how I came to your wonderful blog! I love this altered book journal! I have never done one and have wanted to try. I printed out your Altered Book Binder Journal Tutorial so I hope I am well on my way! Thank you so much for posting the tutorial. I only hope I don't make a mess with it all! LOL!!! I'm not sure which route I will go with it, but I look forward to seeing where God takes me! Thanks again!
