Today I have been working on creating my art journal.  This is something out of my comfort zone, but I need a place to try out ideas. After watching a couple of videos I decided to go for it. This is a book I picked up at the Dollar Tree.  I have not finished the cover yet. Do you have an art journal & what do you use, a book? magazine?

Good afternoon & welcome to my new crafty blog! 

I have always been a crafter.  In grade school I loved making chains out of construction paper & taking pieces of colored paper & making collages. In jr high I took art as my elective & enjoyed papier mache...leather working... painting. I took home-making & learned to sew.  So I'm generally happiest when I'm creating.  I have been a scrapbooker, quilter, decorative painter, flower arranging (silk), you name it!  Now I'm 62 & still love playing with paper! I have jumped on the junk journal bandwagon & am so loving it!! And now I'm learning to create with mixed media...& oh my is my head spinning!  Altered art is also a huge favorite.

I hope to share all my creations with you here. You can also follow me on my Facebook page, I'm on YouTube as DonnaBuchholz, check out my Etsy shop, my Instagram

Thank you for spending a few of your precious minutes with me. I know how limited all of our time is...sometimes there isn't enough moments in the day to accomplish all we want to get done!  Happy crafting!!!
