I love on-line classes.
I love being able to learn new techniques and skills.
I love being inspired and challenged.
I love dicovering new ways of using supplies.
But....
there is something I love even more than all that.
What I love most about on-line classes are the AMAZING people.
The teachers and the students from all over the world.
Some are close by and some are far away,
but what we have in common brings us close and that is special.
One of the most recent on-line classes I enrolled in is called The Art of Wild Abandonment
by Junelle Jacobson.
The title of this class intrigued me. It sounded so fun and free.

The title of this class intrigued me. It sounded so fun and free.
I was ready to be wild.
I wanted to get even more messy.
I wanted to abandon old ways, be free and begin something new.
What I didn't know, was that I would also be introduced to an amazing woman who would inspire me in ways I didn't even realise I wanted to be.
I am not ready to share the specifics of this just yet but I am ready to say that I am grateful for discovering Junelle Jacobson
This woman is inspiring.
This woman is encouraging.
This woman is cute.
Junelle has a beautiful, gentle and fun teaching style.
She also has a beautiful way of expressing her heart and soul.
It is refreshing and real.
She shares herself and has inspired me to share myself in my art.
Here are a few samples from my art journal. Not all are complete but they came from my heart.
I am so looking forward to playing more, listening to what my heart is saying
Ok now it is time for you to go on over to the next blog in the bloghop.

and

It will be so much fun to fill my art journal with messages from my heart.
Messages of truth and love.
