The 21 Day Challenge

The 21 Day Challenge
DAY 20
















Day 21

Today is the last day of the 21 day Challenge . . . I am really pleased with the results of my efforts! I have established a habit of keeping a little time each day to Create something for myself. . . I will be keeping an ArT jOuRnAl from now on! It has helped me get some of those ideas out of my head and into real life . . . it has helped me organize my thoughts and lessons for my classes and it just plain make me happy . . . also I never missed a day in my journal or taking my daily walk or watching what I eat . . . who knew how related all this stuff is!! Thanks Rhonna!

DAY 5
Thanks for looking!! Rhonna, I'm having so much fun with this!!

I'm doing the challenge

At Creative Escape, I took a great class from the amazing Rhonna Farrar!!
We created a journal, that was to be used as an Art Journal in "The 21 Day Challenge"!!

The idea is it takes 21 Days to Make or bReaK a HABIT.

Rhonna has started a new round of the Challenge on her website . . . today is Day 5 but you can jump in anytime!!

So what habit am I working on?? It sounds really simple and so not life changing but my challenge is to set aside a little time every day to "Scrapbook"!! There I said it . . . I haven't done anything that wasn't class related, sample related or gift related in FOREVER. So that's it . . . so far so good!! Pics to be posted later!!

New Class for October
