OH WHAT A BUSY BLOG WEEK!
This week I started a new blog!
It is called FILE OH! FEVER.
For those of you old enough to remember using a Filofax, they have come back like "lightening" but this time round as an "art medium."
They have their own community, their own addicted members, their own blogs, etsy shops, google links and FB pages ... hundreds of them!
It is a wonderful community - just like this community.
Generous, kind, helpful and nurturing.
And all addicted to our supplies ... our Filofaxes and our art supplies (which are the same as I use for my regular mixed media art pieces, plus a few post it notes and stickers a la age 7 ish.)
It is particularly wonderful in that I have been able to transform from age 57 to 7 in a matter of hours of receiving my first Filofax!
I can choose to decorate my journal in the same way I used stickers in Kindergarten, grade one or grade 7. It all works! In fact, the cuter the better.
It has been a great few days ... this blast from the past.
Another totally legitimate excuse to "play like a baby!" but be "organized like an adult!"
For Today's mixed media art, I have taken the leap and am opening an Etsy shop. It will be under my name - Samara Navi. It is actually a birthday gift from my oldest son, Jordan, and his wife Laura. Such an original gift! But a fantastic one; believing in me to be able to sell my work - something I have never believed.
Today's art are some of the first large pieces for my shop. I have created upward of 50 cards for the shop, some of which I will post for next weeks Paint Party Friday.
Have a great weekend!
Happy Arting and Journalling.
