Barb Nelis's zine, Left-Brain Heart, is a colorful feast for the eyes.
I think most of the pages are construction or scrapbook paper, each one a different color. The size is 5 1/2" x 8", with a stitched binding, but it is so chock full of inserts and examples, that the side is about 2 1/2" thick!
I don't think Barb has a blog where I can see her art, but she's included many collages in her zine. She's obviously a lover of words and quotes, colorful scraps, and stamps.
Most pages have some kind of a pocket or attachment for scraps and goodies. She's included how-to's for a folder pocket, a bookmark card, and of course colorful examples of each.
She's generous with her enclosures, including a large scrap of fabric that may inspire you for a future project, a couple of crocheted pieces, and a mini paper pad.
She's included one article about de-cluttering your life. As I read it, I couldn't help but wonder: is she talking about physical clutter, or mental clutter? She's proved she is also a very good writer.

Barbie, has Decluddered my life for a mind of cancer that chose to over power my world.
This wonderful women, has not only helped my grandchild to swim laps so I can go swimming but she has brought such joy in to both of our lives.
Because of the way she gives back in her own way, I was able to find my soul and heart that I had lost do to a divorice and illness of cancer. I no longer wait for the Doctors to give me a broken clock.
I have chose to fix that broken clock and restart my life. Courage is what Barbie left with me so I can achive my life time goal being a fitness trainer.
I think I will make one of these becaue it will remind me of the change I made becaue someone cared enouff to see worth in me. When all others only thought I was a nothing. Thanks
