Fun With Journaling

 I am posting today for a couple of reasons...one, I am behind in posts again (oh no).   AND I would like to post some of my favorite books about journaling for a presentation here in Madison in March so the class can just come here for the resources.  

So let's begin with the books.  All of these are available although I will mention that two are out of print and you have to buy used. 

Here is the list of fun book resources for journaling:

1. How to Make a Journal Your Life by d. price

2. Art Before Breakfast by Danny Gregory

3. How to Draw without Talent by Danny Gregory

4. Draw Your Day by Samantha Dion Baker

5. The Complete Decorated Journal by Gwen Diehn now out of print but available used for about $7.50 including shipping

6. An Illustrated Life by Danny Gregory

7. A Life in Hand by Hannah Hinchman (1999 available still...roughly $15 for a used copy.  This book is, I think, considered a sort of "journalist's bible".  Hannah is sort of the founder of modern journaling. Note Danny Gregory reviews this book here.  You might actually find this even better than getting the book!  I believe it's a two part video if you want to watch both.  

I'll finish the blog today with a few photos of some of the Zentangle® valentines I used to inspire the classes I taught here at Oakwood in February.  Here are 3 I created for my great grandchildren!

And here are a few more assorted ones to inspire my class.
