WELCOME TO MY JOURNAL.
The journal is at the heart of A Life More Creative. Just like a paper journal, its pages are full of thoughts, ideas, musings, and most of all, creativity. As we turn the pages together, we’re going to explore the natural world, the seasons, food, cooking, baking, crafts and much more.
