Question of the month: Show your sketchbook!

I keep several different notebooks going at any one time: one for jewelry, one for other mixed media art, and one that’s small enough to travel with me. I’ve also got files and files and files of pictures, but that’s a whole other matter! I have no drawing skills at all, so a notebook is less intimidating to me than a real sketchbook would be. I indicate colors only by spelling it out, or occasionally taping a swatch into the notebook. I’m not proud of them, but there they are!
Would you send me a shot of your notebooks or files? I’ll post them here if you’re brave enough to take the challenge. Tell us a little about how you work, or let the picture speak for itself! You can even send in a shot of a notebook page and a shot of the resulting artwork! That would be really cool if you did that 
Send all entries to cyndi@b5media.com and use the subject line “Mixed Media Sketchbook”. I’ll post them as they come in, with links you your site or blog. Come on, I showed you my lousy drawings…show me yours?
Hi Cyndi
I have several ‘threads’ running on my blog that include pictures of my sketchbooks and journals:

Does this qualify me to win the magazine? LOL!

Hi Cyndi,
I have some of my journal pages on my blog (still can’t quite believe I even have a blog!). I have that issue of Digital Blogging so this entry is just for the fun of it. But I love the idea of bribes.
Happy Monday, Joanie

Your work is very happy, Joanie! Thanks so much for sharing your site
I have been trying to get to your site for almost a week but my computer froze up everytime. I still don’t know why but I went and got rid of some windows updates and a photo program. Now I am here! I kinda want that photo program though. Hmmm.
I hope you get this, maybe my going backwards fixes this little problem too. I’ll send a few pics.
