I finally got my new easel up.  It looks so pretty and so inviting yet also intimidating.   Why so intimidating?  I have no degree in art and I haven’t really ever tried painting any kind of canvas except for once or twice when I was young.  I should just attempt like anything else I’d like to do.   It’s a matter of try try try. :)

At least I’ve gotten some movement on the wedding album front.  I’m so afraid of not doing justice to the album that it hasn’t gotten done since we were married 4+ years ago.  BUT! I am moving forward on it slowly.  I just got two more pages done.   Pages 7 and 8.  Woo hoo!   I haven’t gotten too elaborate with the design.  I enjoy the simplicity of just a few colors and stamps.   I also started to use some transparency for some wording to keep it even more simple.   I wonder how much time i should spend on these layouts and I want to see a finished project instead of enjoying the process.   Just as if the process is not enjoyable.   Guess I need to find the enjoyment out of it to get the results I’m looking for.
