LET'S CONNECT!
​I don't have an email service anymore. Years ago, I decided that I was unhappy connecting with my community that way. I would appreciate it if you would follow me on my Instagram feed since that is where I am trying to build my audience and create more content. 
If you connect with me, please leave me a comment. I am trying to do a giveaway every month, and I am doing it for those who take the time to connect and follow me, as well as those who comment on my social media posts (Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube). I will soon be doing one a month for blog post comments. It is my way of saying thank you!!
You can learn more about when I do my giveaways on my blog post and all my social media feeds.

Hi, my name is Doreen Dilger,

This is my creative website where I share all things creative like semi abstract art, junk journals, vintage book pages, painted paper, and planner inspiration.

Mixed Media Semi Abstract Art

Creating art can be a meditative practice. Developing a daily routine helps you to loosen up, explore your preferences, and build confidence in sharing and selling your work. This flower art piece is in its initial stages and has a semi-abstract style. I wanted to share it because I really like it. I enjoy how I can add paint and marks intuitively with a tool and see the changes happening right before my eyes. I value the freedom and flexibility that comes with creating mixed-media art. In the near future, I will be selling card art and small original prints through my Etsy shop. I hope you will take a look.

Memory Keeping

Memorykeeping is one of my favorite hobbies. My world consists of travel, my grandkids, and creative art, so I take a lot of photos. I pay to have unlimited storage for all the images I take.

And every one of those photos has a story that goes with it. My favorite way to tell the story is through junk journaling. It is a process where I take materials I own and share a daily page each month. If you are familiar with that saying, it is much like scrapbooking, but creating it in a junk journal style gives me creative flexibility.

I share flip-throughs of my junk journal on my YouTube Channel.

Planner Love

I have always used a planner. I am currently using a Wonderland 222 A5, which is housed in my Louis Vuitton agenda, a present from my husband. My planner is used for calendar events, journaling, decorating, doodling, list making, and goal creation.

My planner is a daily routine that I tackle in the morning. Sundays are still dedicated to planning and reviewing upcoming activities.

You can check out my flip-through of my planner on YouTube.

Vintage Papers

I love everything vintage, especially junk journal supplies. As someone with a she shed, I realize that only some have the space to house books, large papers, receipts, cards, etc.

I am currently working on getting my art and products onto my website so please be patient. :)
