I took two classes from L.K. Ludwig because I love her book Mixed Media Nature Journals so much and I couldn’t decide which class I wanted to take. She is teaching a monthly online photo journaling class – it’s not too late to sign up because it begins November 1! Take a look at her…

Peach and banana slices in the food dehydrator. Red Calico, Lowdermilk, Carolina Sieva, and Willow butterbeans and Purple Pink Eye and Dixie Lee field peas in the fridge. Plenty of snaps. I finished 3 by Flannery O’Connor last night and started Twilight, which is the latest office obsession. I figured that I should join the…
