This is a fun little series that I'm trying out to help inspire me in my art journal in a new way. To get things started in each of these, I'm beginning with a random sentiment as a prompt.

I mentioned the Magpie’s Nest art journal workshop from Amie Bishop. You can find that here: jeanneoliver.com/courses/the-magpies-nest
