We are off to France at the weekend, where we will be staying in a home of people we are doing a house swap with, so I have been frantically busy getting everything ready for them to feel welcome in our house.
So before we leave, just a few pieces of art I have been working on for the last few weeks, mostly pages from my bullet journal, but also the cover of the travel journal I am taking along with me.
Alright and now the bullet journal pages, some I have written in already, and some still waiting to be written in. Each day has my to do list and then some quick notes on how the day went.
All pages are done in a mix of collage, mostly washi tapes, stamping, inking and stencilling, - quite a change from how I started this journal, almost a year ago now, but I feel much more at home with this style.
Well, that's it for now, I look forward to visiting blogs more regularly soon and meanwhile, thank you so much for your visit today!
