It takes me a lot longer to complete a page in my Gelli Journal these days, but I'm still doing my best to make art every single day.  Here's a recent doodle page:

In a previous life I would have completed this in one sitting.

Instead, this page took me a week of little bits and pieces of time.  That's fine.  As they say: slow and steady wins the race.

One of the nice things about a Gelli Journal is that you *can* do it in little bits and pieces and with products — like gelly roll pens — that are okay to have around the baby!

I currently have another page about half way done.  Here's hoping I can get it done this week!

I certainly hope that you're finding a way to make art in your corner of the world!

Thanks for stopping by!
