A LOVE OF NATURE INTRODUCTION:

If you love to journal and you also love nature then this class is for you.

Within 20 journal spreads, journalling through a nature theme, with clear, simple to understand self paced lessons this class is just waiting for you to join in the fun.

Come along and meet my nature guardian girls and my curious creatures, along with a whole heap of other nature loving pages.

Some days I spend a long time painting in my journal and other days just 10 to 15 minutes. In this class you will find all kinds of pages to suit your own varying time limits.
