January 22 2010 - A JDB Retreat at The Suwannee River State Park near LIve Oak Florida

We have just secured cabins to insure accommodations for a winter retreat on the banks of the Suwannee. Several of the regular JDB journal keepers will be there, and, at the same time,  we are hoping to attract a new crop of interested participants who want to learn the practice of making illustrated journals while traveling in new, peaceful environment of natural beauty. So far the details of the retreat have not been finalized, but we are very excited about the state park setting, the cabins, and our familiar teaching format.  The retreat will begin late Friday afternoon and will end early Sunday afternoon. The price, TBA, will be affordable.

Since this is sure to be a popular retreat, it is important to reserve your place now. To do this, email me at Journeyday@AOL.com or Peggy@Journeydaybook.org.
