I actually tend to think I am so absent minded that I forget what I am saying. Have you ever been in a conversation and just stopped because you could not remember what you were going to say? How does that happen--I was talking about "it"and suddenly it just disappeared from the cerebral cortex within the brain (or where ever it processes)?
I took on an art journal challenge to use only black, white, and one accent color which had to be droopy in nature, and I had to use patterns in an inch like form. I must have been in quite a mood because I wrote some interesting things around my journal page. Now, I appreciate how I chose to use the dog and cat images with that mood;)
I also created a journal for the Artful Rising shop with Oscar's quote. This would be fun to fill with stories of personal adventures and anecdotes or just rantings (my favorite way to process).

I hadn't heard that saying before but I love it! I've been known to forget what I was saying and yet it'll come back to me when I don't think about it. Makes no sense! Love the dogs and cats drawings too!
Erika, You are an amazing artist! I love this journal!
That's a great looking challenge piece. It would be a cute flat art piece for your Etsy shop. And I love that quote - great for the cover of a journal! {:-D
Oh my - I can relate to the escaping thoughts! Great quote.
I frequently don't understand myself and also get distracted easily, which is partly why I always have about ten different projects going every day.
haha great quote! as for me...my hubby would say "My wife is so clever, sometimes I dont understand a single word of what she is saying!"...cuz it is a known fact around our home that I have been known to already be thinking of something in my head but then expect others around me to get my last part of the trail of thought that I speak aloud :o) (and then I realize oh! that I jumped to a different topic)
...and I have stopped mid thought too and have to thing...um...where was I going with that?
Love your journal challenge page you created.
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you for your sweet comment about our little grandbaby "Bunny". and for taking a look at the art that I do :o)
I love that quote!
I'm in awe of your cat and dog "doodles"! And blowing the watercolour across it is very clever :)
People who are clever process things very quickly - practically finishing the other person's sentence in their head during the conversation!
Love the doodles! I think you've met the challenge well.
I always forget what I'm about to say. I can't tell you how many times I have to backtrack my steps so I can try to remember why I came into a certain room. My excuse: I'm getting old!
Your challenge piece is fun and I love the dogs and cats :)
That quote is perfect for your journals!
I love Oscar Wilde and I love the cat stamps you used in this journal! Wonderful job!
I absolutely love this journal page. What a cool idea. I think this would look great framed too. Oh my I think you just inspired a new craft project for me....lol
I also just realized that I've been missing your posts. I'm very absent minded sometimes.
Oh and the forget what I'm saying mid sentence. I do that all the time :)
Great quote and I think it likely applies to just about anyone with a creative mind.
Yep, there are times I'm very certain I don't understand myself! Keeping a journal helps unravel some of the uncertainties.
a lovely journal page! I like the design, the black and white, and the "droopy" blue!
