Today is my sisters birthday!!! Sadly we live in different states but I was able to make her a few prezzies to send so I felt like I was there. I've been doing quite a bit of cleaning that isn't anywhere near done but it feels good to be getting rid of extra stuff. I also have had a chance to finish a few art projects I started a long time ago. I had cut down one of Truman's old scotch containers to hold my paintbrushes and I finally got around to altering it to match my studio, or the idea I have of my studio anyway. Then I was inspired to finish an art journal page I started over a year ago! Binge watching all those art journal videos on YouTube is paying off for inspiration.
Now that the holidays are over I was sad to not be getting anymore packages, who isn't?! So I decided to fix that problem by signing up for a Valentine's Day secret sister swap. I'm having fun with my homemade item and I already did too much shopping for her of course! Not much else happening here but I thought a quick post with pictures might be nice. Happy birthday Melanie!!!!

Thanks again for the beautiful journal/pen and magnet on my birthday card! I am also super excited for the paper trimmer and ribbon/button goodies that are on the way. I have the best sister in the land!!! I noticed that brush holder while we were vid chatting the other day but thought I had just missed it before. It's awesome.
