article: Intro - my name is Tracey (TopCat76) | written down

My name’s Tracey and I’m really looking forward to getting started on this, I think an art journal is something I’ve been looking for for a long time. I’m always doodling and making lists, collecting “stuff” (tickets, postcards, articles, you name it I’ll keep it!!) so this seems ideal.
IRL I work in London for an Insurance Brokers (yawn) in my daydreams I’d do something much more creative, my new year’s resolution is to change jobs this year, not sure I’ll get to do something creative but anything has to be better than where I am right now!! I see my journal as my creative outlet and I’m very excited by the prospect.

Pics are of my journal – rather daunting as a blank book, hopefully it won’t stay that way for long! and my desk, which I’ve finally got organised – I love being able to spend time here (can’t say the same for my desk at work!!) I have a thing for ribbons and buttons so I expect they’ll feature greatly in whatever I come up with… when at school I was pretty good at art but the real world and grown up life has, until recently, stemmed my creative juices. I found scrap booking about 18 months ago and feel so much better for it.

Looking forward to sharing with you and getting inspired by all your work.

Trace xx
