A New Page #10 : Growing Up

I've been following thru Autumn's Blog for A NEW PAGE since September 2010, prompt 1.

I like the way she describe her feeling thru the prompts and brought us to the path of 'Growing'.

I started involve in making art in year 2007, scrabooking some pics of my daughter. Came to know about ATC, altered art, mixed media, collages work, etc.

I 'drown' in Swap-bot (a platform for swapping and exchanging gifts, cards and etc) for awhile.

Then, I came across art journaling (soul journaling) when the time I depressed in my work.

I received healing and encouragement from friends over the world and from that day I hook in blogging and art journaling.

My growing (nor matter pain or gain) path that lead me to what I am today.
