Sunday in my Paris art studio

Some bright sunlight today and my Paris art studio. It’s been a lovely Sunday working on paintings and illustrations and gathering ideas on paper. I hope Sunday is bright with your creativity too!

Confessing My Notebook Obsession

I’m here to confess: I’m a notebook geek. In this video I dish on my obsession, letting you into the pages of the various notebooks I use. I also share some great resources for journal lovers and at the end of this long-ish video, something unexpected and funny happens.
 

If you’d like to be this geekish with notebooks, join me in filling your pages on a daily basis. In my popular Free Write Fling class, we write every day for at least 15 minutes. This is guaranteed to get you past the fear of the blank page and help you overcome that tendency to fill only the first few pages of a notebook.
Join us now to write every day in March.
