Self Care Journal
Well my self care lunches have become more frequent, and actually inspired me to work on it at home more... A while back I completed the fronts of all the pages in the moleskine, and now I am working backwards. I love having opposing images on both pages, and it is neat seeing how my style and expression continues to change.

I love how the pocket on the image above turned out. I had been trying to think of how I would incorporate the collage paper dolls that I made in my children's art therapy group. I love that the symbolism of a safe place in my journal correlated to the safe place that I hope the clients are finding.

Journal Group
Here is the page that I worked on in group to show the clients how to use the photographs I took of them. (So fun to take really cute belly shots)
And I prepared this page today to model writing in it next Tuesday!
The ladies really make it feel worth while, when they tell me it is their favorite group of the week, and they stop by my room to get art supplies to work in it over the weekend! So worth it!

Journal Group
Last week I had the pleasure of starting an Art Journaling Art Therapy Group. It meets twice a week, and is composed of the pregnant ladies at the clinic. The hopes is that the women can journal about their pregnancy and baby, which will hopefully help with the attachment to the baby in utero!I am not sure about the ultimate goal, but I can tell you this, one of the lady's told me today it was her favorite group. That is enough for me at this point.
I have decided that I will also work in a journal during the group, so that I can help create the creative atmosphere, but also to demonstrate journaling techniques.
Here is the cover that I created today in group (You might recognize the journal from this post and instructions on how to make it can be found here):
And the inside covers, that I worked on at home (the ladies are also encouraged to take their journals with them to work):
