I wanted to show you the page in my art journal that I completed from Monday’s post:
Below is the photo from Monday of my unfinished page Art Journal Prompts:
I enjoyed a trip down “memory lane” and found this photo of me ice skating with my dad when I was almost 5 years old. (Notice the old cars in the background!)
I encourage you to create your own art journal prompts! I hope you share with me what you do!
Cheers! π
It looks good thank you

I love your light and cheerful style Jill! I remember my folks having an old car that was similar to that one when I was little. I loved how the front seats would recline all the way back and make a bed with the back seat!

Hi Julie, I donβt think our car had that feature. Sounds really cool! π It was fun to look back at my childhood photo album. Do you like to do this too? π

Wonderful to see the finished stage and early stage of your art journal page, Jill. LIked seeing the photo of you as a 5 y.o. with your dad, and yikes at the part about falling through the ice into the water. Good thing it was shallow. Fun post.

Thank you, Jet π I thought it was funny that there wasnβt any snow in the background but the pond was frozen. It is fun to reminisce about childhood memories. Iβm glad you enjoyed it. βοΈβΈ

It is fun to remember. we lived in Ft. worth Tx. when we wer young. Not much snow and certainly not on a frozen pond but we could go ice skating at a rink on occasion. I loved it. And I was good at it. Knowing how to roller skate probably helped. I do remember asking for ice skates every Christmas …but never got them. Pooh.

I love this, Jill! I cannot even imagine ice skating as a young child (or at any age to be honest). Being raised in the San Joaquin Valley here in central California there wasnβt much opportunity for that LOL. But now I am going to have to try your journal idea. I love the different size boxes and the style! π

Hi Nana, I do hope you give this journal style a try! π I usually try to complete a journal page in one day but I liked doing it this way that is working on a page all week. I will be doing more of these pages in the new year! β€οΈ I donβt know that I would try ice skating now… it hurts A LOT MORE when I fall! π Did you go roller skating?

Yes we did roller skate a lot. The park in my town had a cement area we called the skating rink. I remember when the thing we wanted most was βshoe skatesβ instead of the ones with the straps that went over your shoes!π Iβve gone ice skating on a couple of field trips in my life but was not good at it!!
