This pretty little Crusade nO.17 box below is a link to Michelle Wards Street Team Page and it's there that you can read all about what the "GPP Street Team" is all about.
I don't have a journal. I really want to get one started but feel it would be just another "can of worms" for me to get into! I do have a traveling art kit that I carry every day... it's my purse! In the fold out zipper part I have my drivers license, credit cards, cash, etc. and in the main part I have my arty stuff! I have scissors to cut out stuff from magazines. We have tons of magazines at work that I secretly cut up and I have a stash of magazines in my car for "just incase" situations when I have to wait for John or one of the kids. I have blank ATC cards ready to doodle on, pens, pencil eraser and a small drawing pad.
What I'm realizing here is that I don't have to start a journal, because I already have the start of what could be a great journal. I could just go back and write some stuff on the pages I've already doodled on.! hum... Great thought!
This is a close up of the sketch in my traveling art kit... I was sitting in the car waiting for John while he was in Best Buy. This was a real photo of a girl on the cover of one of the magazines in my car...
Have a great hair day! Becci

Whoa girl! Check out your new banner. Freaked me out for a sec. Your sketchbook looks very interesting - wish I could click it bigger. Love that your purse is your on-the-go kit for just-in-case moments. Sounds like you have a jackpot of mags available too. I say get some gluesticks in the bag and start gluing down all the cool stuff you cut out....you never know what will happen when you commit to laying it down. Thanks for sharing with the team Becci!
Becci, I have just found Michelles site myself and feel totally inspired by art journalling. I will definately take part in the crusades now I have found you all. This a terrific little bag full of goodies...very inspiring! Thanks!
Man, what a great idea - an art purse! It's brilliant! I think you have a marketing opportunity here.
Oh, the look is so funky, I love it! bright and edgy at the same time.
Starting a journal is scary and then freeing and fun and soon you think about it a LOT while you're doing other stuff. It's almost like an alter ego.
Thanks for sharing.
Becci, sounds like you DO have a journal to me...afterall, journals are not always in need of words since the art we make is a peek into our souls which speaks volumes!!!
I like that you have it all in your purse! Maybe I should start doing that too...hum...
Hi Becci, ACTUALLY you already started journaling without knowing ;-)) I can recommend a smal stapler for your bag too. HEE and that sketch looks great! If you are not the wordy type, journaling can be with images only!! Hedwig (for a curious person like me, it is GREAT to look and see what's in that bag!!!!)
I'm loving this crusade! What a great looking bag!
LOVE your purse journal, what a great idea, as one always seems to get the best ideas while waiting in the car, lol!
Love your blog header, did you create that? Cuz it rocks!!!
I love the purse! It is another idea I will have to incorporate as I sometimes want to put it all in one place.
Hey girl! Great banner...the eyes have it, you and I that is! I loved reading about the emergency craft kit you keep in your purse, you are a clever girl!!! Thanks for the comment, I don't have any idea how I get my pictures to enlarge, they just do. If I figure it out I will be sure to let you know. Have a great hair weekend!!! Paula
Great idea to have your supplies in your purse so no matter what you are always ready.
I'd say yes, you have a journal going....great to see your compact art supplies all ready to grab!
It's a great idea to have all that stuff in your purse! It inspires me to start carrying something with me all the time!
I'm with you... keep some stuff in my purse, just in case! A little journal for ideas and stuff or when I'm bored or in line somewhere. I mean, we always have our purses with us, right?
PS... I see Micron pens... I love those, too, they are my favorites for journaling. Oh, and how are the kitties? Are they all better, I hope!?
Love your idea of having stuff in the car for emergencies! I keep a blank book and graphitint pencils.I'm imagining you going around the office cuttting out pictures, guerilla style!
You are so good in sketch !
Sounds great for the idea ~ magazine to read while waiting.
Thanks for sharing !
right there in your purse. now that is a thought! how awesome is that?? you don't even have to worry about remembering to get your kit. Your drawing is pretty darn awesome too.
i dig your blog header, so cool! love your purse, i never think of a pad though. i tend to sketch my ideas on blank pages or whatever i find. LOVE your sketch.
Who said a sketchbook with inspired drawings couldn't be a journal? I suspect you already have one but don't realize it. Thanks for the peek inside!
LOVE the purse idea!!! :D AND... do you do all this drawing?!?! I totally LOVE your banner monster! :)
Love your post. You have absolutely elevated the doodle to art. I am so not going into best buy next time....why endure all those wires when I can be creating in my car! I bet you are a fabulous hair stylist, elevating the trim to art. Do you get to create unique dos?
Every time a hair scissor is in my hand, its a don't.

art journal is a title, a sketchbook is the same thing and I don't think one needs to write something to call it a journal if you use it every now and then during your week?
I sooo recognize myself as you say you keep magazines here and there - I love cutting out images from magazines!
