Jenny and I went to an Art Journaling class at The Creative Quest a couple of weeks ago and had a BLAST!  It is so much fun.  You put some gesso down as a base on some watercolor paper, let it dry, then attack it with acrylic paints, stencils, spray inks, oil pastels, and Sharpie pen journaling to finish.  It was so relaxing and is theraputic in a way because you can make it be anything you want!  No rules at all.  And if you "mess up", just say "I MEANT to do that."  (Like Pee Wee Herman...)

Jenny was doing some experimenting and came across a brilliant idea... Duct tape for the binding on those cereal box books!  It fits the recycled theme a little bit better than good book cloth, and keeps it together just as good.  I was at Staples a couple of weeks ago and came across some TIE DYE duct tape that I just couldn't resist.  It's blue-purple-pinkish and I think it would look great on a Cap'n Crunch cereal book, because it reminds me of the colors of the crunch berries when they get in the milk.  Yum.
