A few years ago, I started rereading the daily journal I kept for twenty-five years so I could make note of important stuff and then burn each volume. I had a longer-than-anticipated gap in the process, but the conditions are right this week so I‘m back at it. Ten more volumes met their end tonight.
If you‘re all 😱, be assured I don‘t do this lightly. This journal is my mandala: something I had to make but don‘t have to keep forever.
Nothing beats painting mirrors on a Friday night 😁.

The Cartoonists Club was a fun read, part story of the formation of a new school club, part instructional book on making comics and zines, part Ms Frizzle style encouragement to budding artists and writers to “take chances! make mistakes! get messy!“
I love the librarian who facilitates the group meetings, she's great.
Taking a much needed break from house painting
pickThis is the picture book selection for my library‘s Community Read. It is adorable and I want a physical copy for my own shelves. I love the watercolor artwork and how the illustrations are all done inside watercolor dots. It‘s a great story about harnessing creativity. The whole thing just makes me happy.
