What I Did On My Art Retreat: part one...

Hi friends!  I just got back from spending a week (yes a whole week!) at a scrappy retreat center with my friends Anne and Christina, creating like crazy!  We had so much fun!

I usually like to at least get one photo of the group of us when we go on retreat but I forgot this time - rats!  I did get one photo - of Anne...

Her painty fingers and happy smile pretty much sum up the week!

I got lots done, and rather than overwhelm you with all of it at once, I figure I will break it into two posts!

Here's what I got done in my No Excuses planner journal...

I finished my calendar grid for January (celebrating the color gray)...

a grey collage...

I did one of the weekly drawing challenges - a bunny...

and I finished up the last week of daily entries...

The animal photos on the right are a taped on flap...

I'm thinking about turning my No Excuses Journal into a 3-ring binder planner!  That way, I can stick all kinds of things in there, like  photo pocket pages, ephemera and more journaling!  It could be like my quirky version of project life!  How fun would that be?

Okay, so that's all for today, but I will be back tomorrow with part two of "What I did on my Art Retreat"!

Thanks so much for visiting!  I appreciate you so much!
