City Escapades : The Art District of Dallas

The other weekend we ventured down the Downtown Dallas area and visited the Art District area, where the art museums are all gathered in one spot. We visited a free exhibition at the The Crow Collection of Asian Art and wished we could go visit others, but were too expensive. This is our little adventure!

We rode the Dart train system from Lake June to Pearl St. I like the idea of taking a train to work, but it was pretty creepy at night! <-- scaredy cat.

First we walked around the area (aka we got lost).







And finally found our way to the exhibition, which was absolutely beautiful!










Laura's (Mark's step-mom) classic tilt shot. Haha!

Then we headed out to have some food. We were freezing, miserable, hungry, and couldn't decide where to eat. Then I pointed and drooled at a cute little pizzeria on the corner called Carmine's. I had Spinach Ravioli, and it was amazing. Amazing. Warmed me up all the way down to my toes.


And then we headed home.

And that was our adventure!

A Sneak Peek.

So Emily and I are ready to share our little (big!) secret today.


We're happy to announce a fun art journal class for the spring season! And it's all about the form of mini journals.



The class will be four weeks long, with one prompt a day, with a mini journal project on the weekends! And it's only $25! It's like... a dollar a prompt/project! It's fantastic!

More info will be released during Registration, which is going to start next week on February 27th, and class starts March 19th! So if you've been looking for a fun little class filled with little books, come join us! We're super excited to launch this, and we hope you are too.
