You don’t have to be an artist to participate in illustrated journaling.  There are many ways to express yourself in your musings.  Painting, sketching, writing, stickers, collage and photography are a few of the kinds of entries that can find their way into your personal book.



An illustrated journal can fit into your purse.  It can travel with you to a foreign country or tuck neatly into your backpack.  Your grandchildren can create an entry in it. You can scribble in it while you’re waiting at the doctor’s office.



What makes this different than a diary? For one thing, some of the pages don’t have any writing on them at all - just illustrations.  Pictures can elicit powerful emotions! You know what they say, “A picture is worth a thousand words!”

Join us on our adventures – and learn how to create your own illustrated journal. It’s fun and it’s easy!

Below are some journal samples.  Click on an image to enlarge it.

It's relaxing to make time for painting! It can be a form of meditation.
