Thanks for defining M.A.G.G.I.E. MAY. Mystery solved. I am telling myself and you… I am going to put my big girl panties on and do this. I’ve wanted to start exploring this world myself, not just watching others do it. You are so encountering. 🙏🙏🙏😎

[@carolynwalker2135]

Looking forward to giving Maggie May a try. Sounds like so much fun. Only just found you in the last couple of days and loving your approach to things. Now to get cracking so I have a journal ready. Your video on making the journal was how I found you. So nice to hear an Aussie accent for a change. ❤❤

[@leighcreates]

Welcome!! Loving your enthusiasm for the month. Hope you enjoy the projects. Cheers

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Ok, I’m in! I’m going to join in as much as I can. This sounds so fun and you have been the one person to inspire me with all your amazing art! But I don’t think I will be able to stop singing Maggie May during the whole month 😂. Pulling out the paints and going to stop making this a spectator sport 😂. You look fabulous btw. Cracked me up with soppy. Hugs ❤️🤗

[@leighcreates]

Can't wait to see your creations if you post them Tamara. I am honoured that you have been inspired by my creations and appreciate your support over the years. Get those paints and brushes out and get ready for fun. Hugs & cheers

[@TheOldladyB]

I'm looking forward to creating along with you. And my birthday is in May. Bonus. Lol.

[@leighcreates]

When all the stars align....hope you enjoy the month of May Darlene. Thanks for joining in, hugs & cheers.

[@annina_pure_creativity]

Oh sounds great, I think about to join and roast those prompts when I have enough inspiriation I join. But definitley perepare an Art Journal and Check out your KZbin about. I love you are Aussie, am kind of the opposite am Swiss hahahah.. definitley no sunshine coast here.

[@leighcreates]

That's wonderful Annina. We don't have any sunshine here at the moment either, gloomy and raining, perfect crafting weather. Cheers from the other side of the world. xx

[@judiemjacobson4613]

This sounds so great. I have been wanting to do more mixed media. I have a good quality Sketchbook that I have been doing things in for quite a while and it's been neglected. So I am going to do Maggie May in this book. I really got excited when you talked about your astrological sign mine is Taurus the bull doesn't that sound like fun. Blessings and hugs from New Mexico

[@leighcreates]

So happy to hear you are going to play along Judie. My dad was a Taurus and we got on very well, not too much butting of heads at all. Your sketch book will be perfect for the projects. Hugs & cheers

[@scrapbagstudios]

I have come to this at the end of May but I will do at least some of them during the next month or two. I am dealing with serious health issues atm so I can't commit to anything too taxing or constant but I have been wanting to do some art journalling. This seems like as good a way as any to start. Look forward to it.

[@leighcreates]

Hi Margaret, thanks for tuning in to the premiere and being part of the chat. The beauty of the videos is you have access to them any time you want so you can do the projects whenever you like to. Thank you so much, hugs & cheers.

[@annina_pure_creativity]

Me again hahaha, is it by purpose that the files are still locked?

[@jackielubeck]

I started your prompts and have Star Sign but where to post it….

[@leighcreates]

Instagram #maggiemayart hope you enjoy making the pages. (A couple of people have posted on Makers FB page also).

[@jackielubeck]
