2009 is over. I wanted to take a look back at some of my favorite artful adventures in 2009. Unlike other bloggers, I couldn't choose just 10. Grab a cup of coffee, because this is a long one!

It's fun to look back month by month. I can see myself changing and evolving and exploring. It's also cool to see the months where the mojo was working and there was tons of stuff I loved and the months when it just wasn't.
Thanks for making it all the way through this monster post! And thank you to all of you who have left comments, sent e-mails, lurked quietly, and just generally made it possible for me to share all my happy arty fun!
Mwah!
Wow! You created lots of beautiful art in 2009! I love your style! Thanks for inspiring us continually. Since discovering your blog recently, I went out and bought watercolors and oil pastels.
Through your blog, you’re teaching me how to relax, let go, play a little, and have lots of fun. Gosh, this is a great stress-reliever — especially after work. Thanks again, Julie, for sharing your love for art. Happy New Year! And lots of bear hugs coming to you from California!

What great fun to look back on your creations for the year. That’s something I need to document for myself this year. I often forget all that I have done. Here’s to a wonderfully creative 2010!
