WOYWW 161

Just dropping by for a quick view of my desk. It is my birthday today and I am off with my Mom, sister, daughter, and niece to the beach. My first vacation in over a decade!

Last night, my hubby treated me to a wonderful night out with my sister's family. It was so nice since they just moved about an hour and a half closer to me. Now I have easier access to that lovely little girl of theirs. Only one hour away. Yeah!!!

On my desk this morning is a gessoed journal page waiting for me when I get back. I plan on stenciling in with the half moon shaped stencil when I get home from the beach. Not sure what it will become yet.


Below is my cover from my first art journal. I was afraid to start, so I started with the cover. I really like how it turned out. Stayed tuned next week for my first ever journal page.


I hope you all have a blessed week and weekend! See you next week!

Dani

Sometimes the best way to start is to just jump in and do it, like you did with your journal cover. It looks fabulous, btw. Those moon shapes are interesting. We'll stay tuned to see what you do with them. And happy belated birthday. I hope you are still celebrating today!
