Call it Therapy

Here's a shameless plug inviting

you to stop by my other

blog, Cottonwood Counterfeit Journal,

to see the pages of my Fake Journal

so far this month...

The Fake Journal is when I pretend

to be someone else, or try to put

myself in their shoes.  The premise

is that if it's 'fake,' it tends to remove

some of the preconceived notions and

value judgments of what your journal

'should be'.  It's an opportunity to look at

things from a new perspective.

Hopefully, it quiets that mental critical 

voice that tells us "that's not good enough."

  Because after all,

it's Fake!

My Hobonichi journaling suffers a bit

when I'm working on my Fake Journal.

The drawings for the April project

seem to take up my drawing energy,

so the Hobonichi has a few more 

stickers and quotes mixed in with

 a very few sketches.

I hope you will stop by 

Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog

over at Altered Book Lover, not

only for T Tuesday, but also to see

the annual celebration leading up

to Earth Day.  There are lots of

experiments and tutorials to see,

and beverages to enjoy 

on Tuesdays.
