I have been blessed to experience having my art in various forms in different Stampington magazines. These are beautiful publications with high quality photography. It has always been a pleasure to work with the editors. Each one I have encountered has been gracious and encouraging (and so patient!).
I hope you will be able to get a copy of this issue. Just glancing through it I have been overwhelmed by the gorgeous art from so many artists. I feel very humbled to have been accepted for publication-especially since I am new at making art journals. But it seems only natural for me to extend my painting on canvas and in sketchbooks to making art journals. In art journaling one can play and experiment. There's a freedom for your thoughts and your materials. Ideas are born. And you can get healing. That's my story in this issue of Art Journaling Magazine. I was helped by making a book.
I thank God most of all-first, for working out the mental healing I needed. Secondly I thank Him for giving me a talent. And if I use it and not bury it-I can give something back to Him.
That is my desire.

Congratulations!
Your healing journey with God and art is inspiring.
My warm congratulations, Debra!
Nostalgic, beautiful illustration and wonderful words.
Happy upcoming weekend to you and yours xx
Please note-the cover is not my art. My art starts on page 110 I think. But the cover art is beautiful.
How very special! I really must get a copy of this issue. I love this post with your words of inspiration and joy. And so agree that by using our talents, "Ideas are born." Yay for you, dear friend!
