Journaling and Therapy

It seems 2011 has become the year for Art Journaling. I have joined two groups, The Sketchbook Challenge and Strathmore's (Free) online workshop series. This months theme for the Sketchbook Challenge is "Highly Prized" and over at Strathmore's workshop, Pam Carriker is explaining her process for recycling old journal pages.
Many of you know I have been slowly recovering from pneumonia and decided that journaling about that would work best for me. With that said my lungs are very highly prized and to make this work with Pam's workshop, I will recycle this journal page using her technique's. After 8 weeks of having no energy, I'm finally feeling better and so ready to start creating again.
