I had the opportunity to spend a few days with some of my art teacher buddies in July at the beach. We had great fun catching up and spent one of our days at Cape Lookout. We took a water taxi over to the island and got to see a few of the wild horses of the Outer Banks of NC. The horses were a first for me. A great day and a great experience!

I would like to thank my friend Irene for sharing her journals and teaching methods with me. I love her work and her influence really shows up on this page. You can find her at naturejournaling.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-workbook-drawin.... Take a look!

Just when you think I have finally given up, I come up with another post. Go figure! I am taking a class with Laure Ferlita on Journaling and really enjoying her ideas, suggestions, demos and instruction. It is always great to be in a class and see familiar names (keeps me in a comfort zone on that level anyway). Inspiration from classmates and an urgency to make something NOW in order to keep up with assignments is just what I needed. Now let's see if I can get on to page two!
