Hey all, I made this cute desktop wallpaper for the upcoming season!!
I know I like to keep my computer wallpaper fresh each month so I wanted to create something with a simple design and simple sentiment for autumn.

i will FALL for you journal

Well, I don't know about where you live, but today is cool and rainy here.
I can definitely feel "Fall" approaching the St. Louis area.
As I mentioned before, this past weekend I worked on my journal for my upcoming "I will FALL for you" online art journal class.

I feel in love with Kendall College's View Book, when they were being passed out at our yearly Art Teacher convention and decided that it was an art journal waiting to happen.
I deconstructed the catalogue and re-constructed it into my journal for the class.
Here are a few sneak peeks of my journal:

* The new cover

**and some inside embellished pages that I put together:



For those of you who signed up for the class already, you can head over to the private class blog and check out more pages :)

If you haven't grabbed your spot yet, you should!  There aren't very many spots left and I like to keep the class sizes personal.
There are less than two weeks left until October 1!! 
I'm getting excited :)
You can go and grab your spot HERE!!

See you in class.

"I look forward to each prompt like Christmas morning!"
I love you Janel !!

"I was eager to check the class page each morning, wondering what today's prompt would bring.  They all made me think throughout the day.  I loved coming home and getting all those thoughts onto paper. Thanks Janel."

"This was a great class, and I'm so glad I decided to take it.  And I love knowing that I got to do something I enjoy and got to help bring Pita home at the same time."

"The best way to get to know your inner artist, I have learned so much about myself in this class!"

 "Ive never done an online class before but after taking yours, I will do more in the future.  I loved it! No pressure to get it done by a certain time, that it'll be judged etc - just a class to express yourself and challenge your creativity."

"This was a great experience and I loved how interactive it was with both classmates and students. The journal topics were fresh and insightful (along with inspirational) I feel like I learned a lot and I can't wait for you to do another similar class Janel!!!"

 "janel is an art teacher by profession with an artistic soul and heart. she is encouraging and inspiring without being critical. taking one of her classes is an affordable way to do something positive for someone else and yourself. there is no wrong way to express your art. simply by beginning you may start to think or see things in a new way, and or push yourself further artistically. meeting and interacting with new friends you many never have known before the class is also a fun bonus"

 "I found it very therapeutic to journal each day, it challenged my creativity and it was nice being able to share and look at what other students had done through the flickr group. My classmates were so encouraging and the prompts were relevant and helpful to personal growth. Thank-you! xo"

"I really enjoyed Janel's Journal Class. Not only was this a fun class for me and for others, but it was for a good cause. I am happy I was able to play a small part into getting Pita home to Janel and Adam. I got a little behind in the class, but I feel as if the class is just extended for me :) I made new friends in the chats and got to reconnect with old ones."   -Lindsay



As most of you know, my husband and I are planning in the process of  adopting right now! This is obviously a crazy exciting process and a crazy EXPENSIVE process at that. These classes have been a great way to help us with our adoption and have an amazing time with amazing people, doing something we love all at the same time.

I really hope that you will join me in journaling my way through my favorite season :) 
Another way to help is just by spreading the word!!

Again, I love these classes and I cherish all of the friendships that I have made through them.
Will I see you there?
I hope so.

I will only be taking a limited number of classmates for this class so grab your spot HERE before they are gone!!
