Welcome!!! I’m so glad you are here!!

My name is Ann Rasmussen.  I am an artist and bookmaker.  I’m also a Licenced Professional Counselor, a yoga and meditation teacher, and nature lover.  

I live in Michigan, in the lower peninsula, and love all the seasons we experience here.  I have two grown daughters and three grandchildren. I so enjoy spending time with them. I am also a retired teacher/counselor. 

Being creative is an important part of my life.

Since I retired, being creative is an important part of my life.  I spend most of my days making journals and art book pieces, as well as mixed media, collage, and painting.  I enjoy writing and journaling, reading, and walking.

My vision for this blog is to share techniques, favorite supplies, and classes about bookmaking and art.  I also want to share about taking care of ourselves.  I want to give you ideas and ways to lead a fulfilling life with topics such as acceptance, emotional wellness, journaling, and positive self-esteem. 

Well, what about Dragonfly Arts?  

I started this journey of bookmaking with Dragonfly Books (https://www.instagram.com/dragonflybooks_) Not long after, I launched an Etsy page (link found in bio on my Instagram page).   I am now coming full circle with my new website and blog.  Look for new blog posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 

My most sincere wish!

My wish for this blog is to encourage commenting, sharing, starting conversations, and asking thoughtful questions.  A blog is only as successful as when readers take part in the conversation! Please share your thoughts and ideas!

Welcome again!  I hope you feel at home here!
