Oscraps

One thing that was very hard for me when I was a new Art Journaler was to post my stuff. I was so afraid that people would think it was just a messy blob on digital paper. I was so lucky to start around so many wonderful women who encouraged me to just try it out – Jill Walls from Created by Jill being my biggest push. She took me on her design team as a newbie to AJ and always encouraged me. We here in the AJ team want to be that for you! We want to be encouragers – and I hope that we have done that for you and given you the moxie to try it out!!

This week, Cheryl is hosting our challenge:

“Welcome to the AJ April Challenge, Week 2. Our word prompt for April is RESOLVE. As usual, I want to start out with the definition of this word.

resolve /rĭ-zŏlv′/

intransitive verb​

To cause (a person) to reach a decision.

To make a firm decision about: synonym: decide.
“resolved that I would do better next time.”
Similar: decide

To decide or express by formal vote.
“The legislature resolved that the official should be impeached.”

Her page:

“Resolve to do the things you find to be difficult. That’s what confident people do. They tackle those things that are scary and they get addicted to doing it.”

I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone last December 28th, when I got on a plane and flew to Vegas with my daughter and son-in-law. I had a wonderful visit and got to spend a few days with my dear friend, Susie @pachimac.

Journaling reads: “When the opportunity to go to Vegas came up, I did something very unlike me. I said yes, then started overthinking it. I hate to fly, period. I never wanted to get back on a plane. But when I realized that I had the opportunity to meet my Dear friend Susie, I reached deep into myself and decided to go. If I hadn’t, I would have missed a wonderful time with Susie and her family and the celebration of New Year’s with them.’

We just posted it today, so I don’t have a random page to show – so I’ll choose two next week!!

Resolve to play with us this month!!!
