Not a lot of words today my friends. I think I just fell asleep with my eyes open; that's how exhausted I feel.
Before I sign off though, here are a few images of my new art journal and the results of some epic late night crafting.
Read MoreThis year, I told myself I would be grateful for the little things. It's easy to say, but harder to actively do. As silly as it sounds, Instagram has helped me a lot.

Although this isn't my most prolific month, this is probably one of my favorite art journals so far.
I'm getting better at including more of myself on my pages. I'm usually pretty private, but it's getting easier for me.
