OK CONFESSION

I am not just writing about this because i am a Connie-o-phile - any one who reads this blog regularly will know that already...

I am writing this because it gives me the chance to enter the competition to win two places on the workshop

one for me

and one for one of you -

YAHOOOOOOO

So part of the entry is that i get to talk about the 3 people i really wanna learn from - now that is just too stinkin hard - mainly because there are friends teaching on there from BIG and of course i wanna learn from them - they are juicy and gorgeous and their ideas are remarkable, and i like hanging out with them.... so that makes me biased so i will go for someone else (sorry my honeys but i had to choose)

and i choose...
JET-SET JOURNALING: SOUL JOURNAL STYLE
TRAVEL JOURNALING FOR ARTISTS ON THE GO

(we are going to the South Island for the Christmas hols this year and i have already been thinking about what toys the girls will need to leave behind to get my art gear in the van!! :-P kidding (just))

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK:
USING COMMON HOUSEHOLD ITEMS IN YOUR ART JOURNAL
Heidi Newstrand-Dilley :: Heidiology
