Hi everyone, here’s a couple of new journal pages at last.

Right now I am trying to invent a style for my journaling. I don’t want to continue using magazine pages for my images as I feel they are too shiney and  of course you have to watch for copyright issues. I am playing around trying to get a really unique “look” to my pages.

To explain………………Claudine Helmuth has the most unique style and no one ever seems to copy her look. I must say her look is not one that appeals to me at all, but it does make a good example for me.

Teesha Moore is my hero in Visual Journaling, but many other people have her “look” and if mine is to be unique it has to look all mine, no one elses.

When designing dolls, I have my own style! It seems that people know instinctively when a doll is my design and I want this for my journaling. That way I have something different to teach and something interesting to say. This is going to be a fun process.

I have bought myself a little cam corder and in the future I hope to start teaching online again. My classes will be different though as they will now be video classes rather than photos and text. This is very exciting , although a learning curve for me.

Next week my friend Annie, from USA arrives to spend 2 weeks with me. I am so excited as I havn’t seen her since I taught last in USA a couple of years ago. We are planning to do a lot of art and play, a lot of eating talking and laughing as we always do when we get together Woohoo!!!

You may be wondering what on earth I am blogging about today.? Has it anything to do with art? Well Yes it does, but not directly. You see when I was into Art full time, I also needed to earn some money to keep my head above water and lets face it, you need plenty of money to buy all those supplies, the online classes and to be able to travel all over the place to those wonderful conferences.


As some of you may know, not only do I forcus on art but I am also learning Internet Marketing so that I can earn a passive income of , hopefully around $5000 per month. I am not there yet, but I do have a number of small and growing income streams working well right now.

A couple of days ago I came across this incredible program of learning how to make money with Blogging. It is run by a young Mum with children who has been paying off a large amount of debt. In ine year she has gone from earning nothing to now earning more than $5000 per month.

I joined her program, which is $13.95 per month, thinking I would try it for one month and if I didnt like it I would un subscribe. I am soooooo enjoying this program, its for complete beginners up to more advanced marketers. I really think you need to enjoy doing a bit of writing to do this for a job, but the benefits are huge, for example being able to work from home, have no boss, choose your own hours and then do art when ever you want as well!

Amy Bass who runs this program answers questions really quickly and seems to have the patience of a saint. I will be staying with her program for at least a number of months as it is teaching me so much of great value.
