Thank you Donna. There are three things I look forward to each week - Inspiration Wednesday, Science Friday on PBS, and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on PBS. Inspiration, education, and laughter.

Love this page, Donna. You have so much fun, it's inspiring me to just let go and stop trying to control everything. Thank you!

There are so many things I enjoy about your Inspiration Wednesday videos: you rummaging through drawers (we ALL do it :), the introduction of products like those scrumptious watercolors (yum), your running dialog/thought process, date stamp search and tag stapling. Your positive attitude and encouragement for those of us watching to TRY stuff out is what gets me going into my art journal every single week!
Thank you SO much for sharing your process with Inspiration Wednesday videos. You ROCK!!!
Peace,
Donna

So beautiful. If I had to choose two colors to live with the rest of my life, it would be these two colors. Love them!

Love these pages!! Did you end up having a preference between the watercolor grounds?
Posted by: Rachel | October 31, 2013 at 12:58 PM
Cool!

not really, but i think the daniel smith is probably better quality wise

Hi Donna, when you come to your next page in the journal how do you tackle the backs of all those staples? Do you tape over them or is there a medium that covers them?
And by the way, Love inspiration Wednesday's!
