Hello, friends! I’m so excited to announce that my new book, Journal Sparks, is now available in stores everywhere! I’m currently hosting a virtual book tour on Instagram and Facebook, so join me there to celebrate the release with inspiration and reviews from some lovely artists, authors, and educators.
Here is a little interview where I share some insights into my inspiration for the book and my habits around journaling.
Please — come party with me! I’m collaborating with Storey Publishing and Essentials to host a book launch party this Saturday (April 29th) from 3-5 at Essentials in Northampton. There will be refreshments, a book signing, and I’ll share a journal prompt from the book. Please join!
If you happened to purchase Journal Sparks on Amazon, and you are enjoying it and you have a spare minute (ha!), it would be amazing if you’d leave a review. I’d be so appreciative! Much gratitude.
Now, go make a big, creative mess!

Hi Emily,
I just ordered journal sparks on Amazon after reading about it on Ben and Birdy. I am super excited! I’m planning to use it in three ways… one as a fun creative project for myself. Two, I’m going to leave it out on my kitchen table with art supplies in the hopes that my boys, ages 15 and 12 will feel inspired (and maybe even my 19 year old when he comes home from college next week!) Three, I’m going to use it with the preschool and kindergarten children I teach. Yay!! I wanted to ask if you could please recommend a list of art supplies that would be great to have for use with the book (please be specific…our art cabinet needs some updating!) Thanks so much!!
Hi Karen! Thanks for writing! I’m so happy to hear about your plans, and I’ll be eager to find out if your sons end up feeling inspired. 🙂
This a list of some unique supplies that I love: POSCA markers , Kuretake pan watercolors, black gesso , and Micron pens . I offer a more complete list of ideas for supplies in the book (although I don’t name specific brands).
Enjoy! And, do keep me posted! emily
