Ugh, hate this theme, I can’t stand it! What was I thinking. I was going to take it down, but then my site will be down until 2012, so I’ll just leave this up and work on something better when I have time from work. Moving on!

I wanted to show you guys my art journal, made with my own two hands. This was my first time making anything like this so my lovely aunt Peach — who got me back into crafting and painting — helped me do the construction for the covers. Since I completed this journal in May I’ve made two other journals as gifts. I think I may make some to sell in my shop or for a give away. I love this journal so much that I’m having the hardest time drawing in it. I’m so afraid of messing it up, which I have! I have to keep reminding myself that that is what it’s for! I’ll show some of the inside pages later I can’t wait to make a new one!

You know how they say “use it or lose it?” Well, I’ve been procrastinating when it comes to this site because I hate every theme that I make, but when I finally decided to just put this up, as my luck would have it, my arthritis started acting up. So now I can’t really type, draw or paint. Smh. I wish I would have done those things when I could. Now that I can’t I miss them so much!! I do have a lot of stuff to share though, so I decided to put my site up anyway. I’ll fix the shop and stuff when I can. I kind of missed having my site up, but since I have to do a lot of typing for my job I really didn’t miss blogging! 

Anyhoo, I decided that I wanted to sell prints in my shop, so to make sure that they would actually look good, I decided to order some for myself. I love them! Some didn’t come out too great, but now I know what I have to do differently. I’m excited! I think I’m going to make a mini album of all my art. I’ve been trying to figure out how to print my stuff on my own, but for some reason no one ever wants to tell how they do things!
