New Journal Idea

On our weekly trip to the Book Store this week, I was looking for a planner to finish the year up and go into next year. Well,  this little journal caught my eye. Of course it was for last year, but still had a few months left for 2016, and it was on sale for $3. As I opened it up, and realized that it had some good stuff in it, and I liked the cover, LOL, I bought it to try to get organized and write things down.bokI brought it with me for a long weekend  for my husband and me at the beach. I just tucked it in my stash of books and travel water color paints and a few supplies. . I had brought it to read and but as I was opening it up today, I decided to sketch in it a bit . Now, it has a new purpose. I will use it as a journal, at least that is my plan for now. Here is one of the sketches.5And another. I loved how her hair is the statement for the page. I haven`t decided if I will add any other color to it when I get home, but I think I will gesso the back of the pages to give them some stability just in case. 2Then lastly... I brought another sketch I had started from Lifebook 2016 this week with Petra Stein. It was a mini lesson and very simple with just the watercolor.31believI used some words from "Simply Tuesday" by Emily P Freeman, on her dress and titled her "Believe in Your Life"So that was my watercolor weekend, so far! Happy Labor Day weekend!Linked with Sunday Sketches http://bluechairdiary.blogspot.com/Have a great new week!Love,Jane
