A cool new magazine from one of our members!

Marit, one of our members, emailed me about a new project she is undertaking.  I think it looks really cool!

In the Spring of 2012, an inspiring magazine will see the light: FEATURING.

This magazine wants to provide a stage for all kinds of artists. With each issue, we seek to bring our readers a view on creativity in all its forms. The focus will be mainly on art journaling and mixed media, but other types of art will be highlighted as well. FEATURING wants to bring a spectrum of art-related articles and stories. You will also enjoy seeing pages jammed with collaborative projects, glimpses of studios, interviews, background stories, layouts, paintings, photos, poetry and much, much more!

Find all the information on the website www.featuringmagazine.com

Well I'd Like To Get To Know You....Yes I Would...

A couple weeks ago, Marcia mentioned that she wouldn't mind having some help in the form of a co-moderator. I had been SO happy and thankful to see her take this job upon herself...THANK YOU MARCIA...and had thought about how I could help...but hadn't done anything about it. So, I was thrilled to offer my limited skills and abilities and time to see what I could do to assist when she sent out the call. Joni Nickrent also offered to help and has exciting ideas to implement which I can't wait to see put into place.

WE - all of us - YOU too - are going to make this a fascinating, educational, friendly, fun, energetic, 'go-to' site that will encourage and motivate every one who enters.

I'm fairly new to the 'art' world and very new to blogging. My name is Annie Wade but I simply go by annie!. Yep...little a and the exclamation point at the end. I'm a 57 year young woman who feels my age often on the outside but is still a little girl on the inside. But wait!!! That's enough about ME. I, and every one else, want to know more about YOU!

So...with the help of interviews I've read here and there...I've come up with a set of questions that YOU can answer and then every couple weeks, I'll post - with glorious pictures and links - all the nitty gritty good stuff you've provided - for publication on Artists In Blogland. What do you think of that?!?

I don't know yet what to call this post and would love to hear YOUR ideas for a title. I'd also love to hear from you - telling me you want to be interviewed so please leave a comment and we'll make a first come / first served list.

Fun, huh?!?

ATTN:  MIRIAM--- FOR SOME REASON YOUR LINK WENT TO A SPAM SITE.  I deleted it in case it was harmful.  Weird, because there was artwork in the link image.  If you can figure out why let me know.

Guest Post by Manon

Welcome to our first GUEST POST!  This blog post originally appeared on Manon's blog and since I loved it so much I thought I would invite her to share it with us all.  If you have an interesting blog post or tutorial you'd like to share as a guest writer, just let me know!
Thanks Manon for sharing with us!   Here is her post:

However it got me thinking
