Turn your doodles into a personal journal and into art to boot In the tradition of Keri Smith (Wreck This Journal, This Is Not a Book), Dawn DeVries Sokol has created a fun, easy artist's journal to get kids started with the basics. Doodle about your day; makes lists of your favorite things; write goals and daydream; try different mediums like pens, watercolors, and found art; add in family photos or ticket stubs; use Xerox transfers; and much, much more to create a casual, playful, and often thoughtful journal of your life.

Dawn DeVries Sokol is an avid art journaler and doodler. Her blog (www.dblogala.com) focuses on art journaling, with ideas and discussions on materials, overcoming creative blocks, prompts, and more. Dawn is the author and designer of 1000 Artist Journal Pages, which has sold 16,000 copies since it released in 2008. She lives in Tempe, Arizona.
