Creativity & Joy

I can’t believe how fast the group is going. I have been trying to check all day at work and can hardly keep up. I want to take time to absorb each piece and comment on what I see/feel when I look at it. I am so thrilled already. I am seeing so much depth in everyones work. So much inspiration. Everyone is digging in and getting real. This is exactly what I need right now. I have been questioning my art and wondering how to get to the next level and thought this challenge would help me get there and I am realizing that I had no idea how far above the next level this incredible group of women will take me.

Thanks ladies, this group is filling me up with creative energy and joy.

my first page

I haven’t done my cover yet as I’m not sure what I want to do. My first impulse is to do something fairly traditional and simple so that when it’s lying around it doesn’t attract attention. But that is exactly what I am wanting to break away from. So haven’t done the cover yet.

This is my first page. Started it last night with just some swirls of acrylic paint and a copy of the dogwood blooms. I really liked how one flower was completely open and the other is still attached at the tips of the petals. Like it’s waiting for something to just touch it and spring the lock. that’s how I feel about this opportunity to learn and share with all of you. Like I’m waiting for something to spring the lock and let me out.
This is totally new and very strange for me to do. But here it is:

And so it begins…...

Deep Thoughts

Hey All!

Here’s my journal entitled Deep Thoughts: Exploring the life and times of Korey Jenell Lindberg in 2005? I came up with the title after much brainstorming. Over the last few years, I have taken to collecting notebooks. All shapes and sizes. I’m not sure why I am so drawn to them…I think they are cute and always hope to use them for gathering my day to day life, tribulations, etc…but they seem to disappear before I can jot down said day to day life, tribulations, etc… My hubby (his name is Grant) just rolls his eyes each time I bring home a new notebook and one day came up with a pretty funny joke about all empty notebooks lying around our house. I am terrible at retelling the exacts of stories, but the punch line is “It’s so good that you have so many notebooks filled with your Deep Thoughts”...being that all were mostly empty, he basically accused me of having no meaningful, deep thoughts. I decided to title my journal “Deep Thoughts” just to spite him…I’ll show him that I DO have meaningful, deep thoughts! So…here’s the cover that I finished up this evening:

I am so excited to be sharing in this creative, growing expirence with so many people from all walks of life! I look foward to getting to know you all better.

WOW the Inspiration

I love all the cool things I am seeing and just wish I had a few minutes to actually get things done :(.

Well hopefully tomorrow when I am done with bridal shower invites, memorial cards and the minibook for my monsterinlaw. At least I have the journal and a few ideas now.

Thanks to everyone for the sharing and wonderful work.

any better?

Another shot of the first page….not sure if this is remotely readable…. : )

First entry

I’m not sure what to say about this…

I just decided about a month ago that it was okay to use my own handwriting on creative projects…baby steps, i’m tellin’ ya.

I just am into writing right now. i’m hoping to play more along the way.

ciao!

Week 1 - Beginnings

Week 1 - Beginning

This is actually my second page in my journal. When I finished the first, it just so did not feel like me. I look at it and don’t get any inkling at all about the person behind it. I thought about it all night; geesh, I’m already losing sleep! But I got up this morning, sat down and jotted some notes about what was important, what I love, and the purpose of this experience. Throughout the day, I worked on this. I’m going to keep the original page one. Although I don’t like it, it still was born from me, my ideas, my feelings. But this page makes me happy. I feel like I’ve created something true. Thanks for taking a look. I’ve been incredibly inspired by all of the work I’ve seen in the last two days.

This Time

The last time I was in painterly mode I didn’t have my technotoys or skills. This time I do.

ThankU. ThankU. ThankU.

Ready

Here is my cover. I have never posted anything or joined a group, so I am really excited about this. I am a procrastinating perfectionist, which translates into, I don’t get much done. This is going to be really good for me!

Consumed.

I have a couple other projects I am working on right now for this weekend but I am consumed by this one. I want to keep going. Pour it all out. Play.

But man, I have to get some of these other things done. So here is my beginning.
