Here is to new habits & creative moments!
8 Weeks to a HAPPIER YOU!
Have you ever stayed awake at night thinking about all the tasks you need to do, the a-ha moments that you don’t want to forget, etc? Wouldn’t you like to know what I do to quiet my mind and get a better nights sleep? I will to teach you what I know, so that you can relax more & join in on the fun I experience every day! Let’s be honest, we all want to find ways to destress and enjoy our lives more.








Hello Doodle Bugs and Planner Peeps! My name is Nicci and I have been art/bullet journaling since 2004.
Way back in the late 80’s and early 1990’s, you could often find me hanging out with comic book artists and other creative souls at a cafe located near our local Art Gallery. Rarely would you find me without a sketchbook, pencil, eraser, felt pens and a mini calendar in my messenger bag. (At the bottom of this page I have included a list of the art supplies we will be using in our e-course.)
Those years were strong foundation years for me. They helped shape the style of work I do today. My current journals are a wonderful combination of planner, doodles, paintings, notes, date reminders and a diary of sorts.




The ARTFUL PLANNER has helped shift my mindset & it will do that for you too!

Q: I am not an Artist. Will this workshop be beneficial to me?
A: Yes! Not to worry. Everyone has the potential to create art. Art is all about practice and letting go of your fears. Honestly, though, you can create a fabulous Artful Planner using just stick characters, doodles and a bit of colour. I’ve got you, we can do this together! Stamps, die cuts and washi tape are also fun to use.
Q: If I fall behind, can I catch up?
A: Yes. Everything will be recorded. You will have access to the course for AT LEAST 12 months.
Q: Do I need to be able to complete work every week?
A: You get a life time access to the class and can take as much time as you want to work at your own pace. I recommend you complete a class per week or per two weeks. If you need more time, that is fine too.
Q: I live outside of the United States. Am I able to join?
A: Yes, of course. We would love to have you. I have taught people from all over the world. I actually live in Canada, but have just priced the course with the most widely known currency.

If you wish to see how I come across on camera, please check out the video posted below. Lol… I even have a tv episode from when I was on HGTV’s “That’s Clever” way back in 2007 saved to my Youtube channel for viewing. Here is a recent sample art video for you.

Reviews from my Art Workshop clientele:
- “I never thought I would be able to draw but by taking one of Nicci’s classes I actually made something I was proud of. It was also lots of fun and Nicci was very patient with all of us. I learned so much.” – Almost an Artist, Lorna
- Nicci created a well-planned and interactive Graphics Writer workshop for our grade three students. The students were engaged throughout the workshop learning the art, skill, and power of being a graphic story author. The students were proud of their success in writing their very own graphic story using this creative and fun skill. It gave them another meaningful and artistic tool to use when creating a story. Nicci’s talent sure rubbed off on our students! – Cindy K ~ Grade 3 Private School Teacher
- Nicci is a fabulous teacher! She was very informative about specific techniques and styles, and was thorough in her explanations. She provided great examples and detailed lesson plans for each class. In addition, Nicci was such a positive and upbeat instructor that I hired her to host my tween’s birthday party and it was a huge success! – Louise & Elliot

These are the main supplies that I will use in our e-course:
You are not required to use the same products. You will need a journal with no-bleed-through pages (I recommend the Midori MD Notebook in A5 size (A5 measures 5.83 × 8.27 inches.)), a pair of scissors, a set of watercolours (student grade are fine) , a few watercolours brushes (most of mine are from the dollar store), a ruler (see through is best) and a few waterproof india ink markers in black ink (fine and medium point tips) and a couple ball point pens in colours that make you happy. Washi tape is always fun to add in as well. TIP: Sharpie markers will go through your paper, please do not use them. NOTE: Shopping links for these products and more can be found on my ‘Art Supplies’ page.
