I'm excited!!!!
It looks like many of you want to do the 30 day journal challenge along with me and that makes me soooo happy!!!
How about we get started on Monday morning, June 14. That will take us all of the way to July 13 as our last prompt together.
Here is the low-down...
* I will post the prompt and my journal page each morning (before 10:00 am cst)
* I will be posting all of these here, on my blog for everyone to see :)
* My pages are going to strictly be pen and paper but I want you to feel creatively free to add in whatever you want :)
* I have created a Flickr Group where we can all share our pages right here. Join it now!
* I also would love for you to post your pages on your blog as well with a link in the comments so that we can check them out as soon as they are posted!!
* Some people asked about supplies and prefrences. Here are my personal picks:
My very favorite pen, that I have used in my journals, since college, are the Papermate flair felt tip pens. These pens come in a varitey of colors:
You can use them all, or you can choose your signature color :) I am pretty boring I guess because my signature color is always black.
It's classic :)
For a journal I will be using a moleskin journal that I picked up at Barnes and Noble. It is the large (size: 5.25 x 8.25 in), kraft color notebook with blank pages.
You can usually pick these up in sets of three. I chose the Kraft color because I want to personalize a bit!
Or, you can search for a cute "already decorated" moleskin on Etsy from some very talented artists :) I usually purchase moleskins from Etsy but this time, I am going to make my own :) Here is a link to some lovely moleskins on Etsy, if that's the route you want to go :)
Eeek! I am really excited about this little adventure that we will be taking together!!
The first prompt will be going live next Monday :) Be there or be square.
Love you.

Woo hoo! This is going to be fun! Although I realized it's going to go right up into the time I'm up north and may not have computer access... which will make it tricky, but maybe by then I can do my own prompts.... :S

Hey Ho, Let's Go! I'm in!
What a great idea!! I've been a total journal slacker b/c of this new blog obsession. Blast!
But this should help me get back into the swing of things. Hooray for a jumpstart for a great thing.
You cutie pie, you.
<3
I'm in! I just started a challenge on my own to sketch something EVERY DAY for a year...so I guess I'll just add this to my list! :)
So fun! You know I already have the pens ;)
I'm IN!! I'm gonna see if I have a journal kicking around - so excited!! Hopefully this will help me start a habit of being creative! Sometimes I'm just too lazy..
oh I'm SO in! I'll be in Florida when it starts so it will be the perfect opportunity for me to start! Hooraaay!
I'm in! I can't wait!

Lindsay mentioned this 30 day challenge on her blog and I got super excited!! I'm definitely in!!
I bought my journal today! Just need to find me some pens! =D
I'm kind of excited! Ok really excited! I'll be gone on vacation the 18th-25th. But I'm taking my laptop, journal, and pens so I can still do it all! =D I won't fall behind!
Yay! I'm so excited!
I am so IN! I have just discovered your wonderful blog.. good timing! Can't wait xo
I'm in! So glad you are doing this!! I was saving up to join the class : )

Sooo in- even though I fell behind on the Tell Your story one- I am excited for a second chance!!!!!
I'm def in! :)
sounds fun! i'm in :)
I'm in too! I haven't finished my Tell your story journal yet, but figure this will still give me the daily inspiration to keep going!
GAHH I HAVENT CHECKED ANY BLOGS IN A WEEK, AND I COME BACK AND FIND THIS!!!??? IMAGINE MY EXCITEMENT.
I like this a lot better than I like the 'Creativity Boot Camp' so I think I'll drop out of camp, and join the journal jamboree.
Thank-you for being so fantastic Janel. I mit hit office works this weekend, and find a journal and some pens to use. I am SO low on supplies/pretty journals.
Much Love,
Norah xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yay sounds exciting.
I'm in!!!
MY signiture color is also black. :) But I'll mix it with some other colors to but only use pen tough.
Thanks for really making this happen.
Ami
i'm thinking i'm in too!! :)
i JUST read this! i want to do it!!!!
this sounds like a lot of fun! i'm going to have to pick up a journal over the weekend.
:)
Janel, I would really like to join your 30 day journal challenge! I am currently trying to get internet access at our new place so I'm thinking this is a go for me! I may not get it this weekend - althoughI'm hopeful!! - but I can always catch up, right?? I'm SOSO glad you are doing this as I was wanting to start doing an art journal!!! I know this is late, but when I saw your post about the buttons for this challenge I HAD HAD HAD to join!

count me in too :)
I would love to join in with this. I have just started my very first art journal and have been using the creativity boot camp for my inspiration.
I was wondering what kind of stuff to write though? I'm not sure I understand?
SOUNDS FUN!!!! can't wait!
I'm in!!! This is going to be a great challenge. Super idea! :)
Ok, so I need something to get me out of my rut and this is it!!! Count me in :)
Definitely in!
Or at least trying,
this isn't the only project I have going on right now ;)
Superb idea <3
Oh so fun! I'm soooo in! I'm addicted to journaling right now!
great idea I'll try!
I'll try to follow you too! Just discovered art journaling, and I love it :-)
I saw this and thought that it was really cool, but automatically was like, oh I can't do this. But now I AM going to do it!! Next week is my finals week but I am going to make time every day to do this. And this comment is my way of making sure I live up to my promise. Maybe I'll even write it in my journal to prove it. Oo I'm excited!!
PS My younger sister has flair pens and I'll steal them :) I also love Le Pen. They're really great.
I'm in I'm in!! I've never done a journal challenge thinger ma-bobber before and it's JUST what I need right now! :))
yay!
new to the blog world, but I'm still gonna try this. i need inspiration. Thanks.
Janel - what a great idea to host your own journal group. I am excited to play along, especially after Tell Your Story. This should be really wonderful!
Gonna try this. I'm like Kelly, such a journal abandonner! Need to get the wires reconnected in the brain, so hopefully this will enable me to do so and I'll be able to keep up.
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!!!!!!
Now, if someone could send me a 'time turner' that actually works - I'll get all of my projects finished!!!!
:D

I just heard about this today! I am in but MIGHT be a day behind. :)

I'm so in... unfortunately I am traveling right now and won't have access to a scanner... I'm also with you on the pens. I just discovered sharpie pens which are also amazing! Looking forward to a fun 30 day challenge!
I'm definetly in, I really do need to challenge myself with colouors a lot more. Will go and buy a journal today and start as soon as i get home from work. This looks fun. Thanks for organising.
Ok I am going to commit myself.....scary! I am horrible at journaling but have been desiring to do it very strongly for about a month. I just randomly found this blog tonite! Excited.
is it too late to jump in????
Is it to late to join this fun challenge? I would like to give it a try. I love paper and pen´s and do way to little of this these days.
I'm going to go for it a day late. I "need" a new project. I have the journal picked out and ready to go and I'll do a make up day for yesterday.
Joining a day late! I have been waiting for the perfect challenge to fit my busy, messy life, and I think this is it. Super pumped!
I just found this, and I think I need to join. It looks like so much fun. I'm a day late, but that's ok. I'll catch up.
I'm late but i'd love to be in!
I'm late but i'd love to be in!

A lot of people joining late, huh ?:D Well, I`m one of them too.
I hope I'm not to late, I wanna play!!! <3
*scrambles in at the back of the class* Another late one but very excited to come play. am just going to jot down the prompts and play catch up :P
Oh, I am so bummed that I only just now discovered you. You are two weeks in and I've missed a lot of fun. I may see if I can catch up with you. What a great idea.
Wow, I am bummed too! I wish I could have been a part of it! I got out of journaling a few years ago. I think it is so good for the soul. I think it would be good for my husbands soul too. (Might get my frustrations out before they get to him!)
Hope it goes great for all of you! I might just try to do it for me anyway!
Elizabeth
