Reflection and Prescious Time

Hi ya everyone!
  I've made some difficult descisions lately about what I have time for and what I don't...one thing I really miss is that I'm always creating for others and not so much for myself anymore.  I took on one to many things.  I've decided to step away from some things I love, but really miss things like an art journal.  I hadn't done a lot of this anyhow, but have really wanted to for a long long time.  Stress at work and stress put on myself by myself stopped me from enjoying my crafty side.  I've heard a lot of fabulous people rave about art journals and how they really do lift your creative side....
So, I did my art journal last night and it felt REALLY good.
I'm taking a fun class for art journals from Julie Balzer called 30 days in Your Journal.  It's relaxed and conversational and a perfect outlet as I have no pressure to create...I can do it when I can!
Thanks to everyone that stops by and reads my blog...I know there isn't always time to comment and that's a.ok.  I understand that time is precious and that it's easy to take a look, be inspired and walk away...so feel free!!!
