it was a wonderful read. Regardless of where it was posted. ;)

I have similar experience. Here is the discussion: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/houseplt/msg0714040427569.html?26

Go ahead and give them a half dose now, and another half a month later. A full dose might knock all the flowers off, preventing a crop this year. Kevin : )

An art journal, I think, would make me feel too much pressure to make it look pretty and perfect. Or if I were journaling, I wouldn't have time to embellish and elaborate on top of writing (like Karen said). Kind of like scrapbooking, which I cannot do --too many choices. Actually, I started an art journal, of sorts, by decorating the outside of a notebook. But I got stuck with just the cover! So for now I'm sticking things between the pages, things I tear out of magazines like lettering I like or color combinations. Should be something with pockets or envelopes for that.... But an art notebook is something I've actually been using. (When I can find it! LOL!) I haven't decorated the cover, but I use it to make sketches, take notes from books and write down design ideas and color combination ideas (can't tear out those webpages and can't print everything!) --things like that. It's neat when I haven't looked at it in a while (or it's been misplaced!) and I open it up; I get inspired all over again!
