    Default It's Personal

    Did I get your attention? Hope so. I wanted to post this a bit before I posted some older LO's. As some of u know (since I've told u ) my old site closed. At that site I had several of what I consider MY best work. I want to include this in my gallery that I'm hoping to be calling home!

    The reason for this post is that over the next few days as I add them (about a dozen) I like to warn people in advance. Most of them are Art Journaling and when I AJ its very very very personal. while there is NOTHING graphic they are deep and emotional and deal with pain, loss, and abuse. For this reason I like to let people know as for some it is way to close to home and something that is very difficult to deal with.

    if that is YOU...no judgement...but for a few days just check out any LO's that i post for challenges as they will not deal with anything except my usual attempt at humor

    Scrapping can be therapeutic in so many ways. Maybe in your creduts in the gallery you could put a warning.

    Something like: Warning, journalling contains personal contents that could be uncomfortable to some people. Or something similar.

    i actually do add that to my LO's. my main concern is people not knowing me well and sometimes u can read the journaling in the photo and people look at the photo before reading the info. i have never wanted to hurt anyone so i'm just careful. u r right...it is very therapeutic and i never start out to make these LO's they just happen. i make them for me but i share them because i have had so many thank u's for sharing them.

    so as i said...just another heads up is all

    I did my first art journal page yesterday. I'm glad that there is always something new for me to try. I'll peak at yours.
