Crikey another woyww under our belt, I didn't manage to get round everyone last week, sorry bout that, don't know where the time went, will try harder today...
So today sees my desk in much the same disarray as it has been for the past couple of weeks, {some items have been removed as there secret and i'm not ready to share them yet!}..
but there is one small difference...
This is my very first art journal so I decided i would paint my very first picture in it, kinda a self portrait of sorts!!!
I'll be back tomorrow to start to share some of the lovely pages my friends created along with the pages i did for them.
Thanks for hopping by.
