Full Tilt Boogie

Last month Debe and I were talking about journaling.
I mentioned that I thought Mary Ann Moss' class Remains of the Day looked like a really cool class and I wondered if it was still available.
Debe had taken it and told me that I needed to take it.
That it was fantastic.
And that coming from Debe (as Debe doesn't even journal) made up my mind.

A week or so later, I actually remembered that conversation.
However, I found that Ms. Moss was offering up a new class.
I signed up immediately.


Boy, am I glad I did!
I gotta be honest here, folks.
It's been a while since I've really enjoyed and learned new techniques from an online art class.
And that Mary Ann Moss is a hoot!


This is my first completed journal from the class.
I used what I had on hand, which was beading string.
I won't be doing that again.
Next time I will actually make the trek outside of my home to get what I need.
I just dont' think it's thick enough for a visible binding.
Lesson learned.


Now I'm gnashing at the bit to start filling the pages, as well as, start making the next journal.
If you journal I suggest you check it out.

yes, I think you have me convinced...I've been pondering it and wanting to take it but thinking how this is such a busy time for me right now, and that it would be frivolous to sign up for a class right now, but I trust your advice! I may not get around to it soon, but I'm definitely going to do it!
thanks for sharing your gorgeous journal!xo

EEeeek I didn't know MaryAnn was offering another class and your journal cover is super sweet! I took her Remains class and it was the best journalling class ever!

THAT is a thing of beauty!! I KNEW you would love Mary Ann...I bound mine with journaling twine I ordered from Teesha Moore randomly. Worked wonderfully! MA is such a hoot & so talented with "stuff"!! Glad you signed up for that!

This is soooooooooooo pretty! I think the string is pretty thin but, I hope it holds together for you!!!! Love the front cover. I am so fascinated by journals. Never done one but, I so do want to. Yours are always stunning.
