The last page in my journal for 2021

My last page in my journal. It always feels like such an accomplishment!

I always do a rather simple page for the last one because it’s where I document the last year. There are a few fun grungy surprises that happened…..  I have a lot to write about this year.

There was a lot of anxiety, loss, rebuilding, hard work, and unknowns. I honestly don’t think I’ve fully processed 2020 yet, but even in all the things….

There is this creative space that allows me to let go, allows me to process and helps me find gratitude.

My journal is like coming home to loved ones or a best friend. It’s comfort to me. A place to just be.

I share in the video why I journal and how important I think it is. I hope you enjoy the process, and next week we’ll finish the cover.

I pray that your New Year is uneventful and filled with grace and peace. YOU are loved!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
