Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.

Hi Erik, looks like I'm not quite *done* with this journal after all!! I gotta keep filling her up :) thank you for your continuous support here!
Thank you Gypsy :)
Hi Moony, I'm glad you like that added texture - it's achieved by laying down brush strokey gesso first, which I rub my base coat of paint into to pick up the texture, leaving a heavier bit of paint in the indentations. Added coats in other colors bring out more and add new lines and depth. Thanks for visiting!
