It is incredibly disjointed and in my opinion not at all user-friendly. I'm sure there are some fun morsels in among the confusion but I could not get on with the lay-out well enough to want to make the effort to find them!!!!!!!!<br />I hope you and Bleubeard had a fab Christmas and I hope that 2014 brings you joy and inspiration aplenty.

WOW, how ...Hello, I'm finally here to catch up! WOW, how sad that this book wasn't any good or helpful. I didn't like all the colors and fonts either. Way to go on following it thru with pictures and your AWESOME ABSTRACT ART!! OMG, that is so cool, love the description of it. Great job on it and the colors for it too. <br />That's great you got to read 12 books this year too. <br />Thanks for the heads up on this book! <br /><br />Thank you for the visit today, excited to see what your word will be!! I can say that you don't need any classes, I can see how creative and smart and awesome you are already. <br />I started off by taking a scrapbook class and it was wonderful, I LOVE the teacher and still keep in touch with her and would love to meet her one day. I'm forever thankful for her and all she did for me. She also art journals and that is how I started by seeing hers and joining Julie Balazar 30 day art journaling class, LOOOVE HER TOO!!I'm thankful for the classes I have taken because of the sweetest ladies I've met thru them, so very lucky I am. The teachers have been so awesome too. This year I took a few Junelee Jacobson classes, she is an angel and sketches beautifully. I don't have anyone here that wants to do these things and I don't want to place an ad for a ART FRIEND, haha so this is a nice way to learn and meet others. <br />Sorry this comment is so long. <br />I'm thankful I met you and it was thru our friendship with Kristin and thank goodness her SOC is FREE, YAY, I love those kind of classes too. Thankful for your T On Tuesday, YAY!!<br />Anyhow, it's nice to share these new things with you and happy to follow you along in 2014! Thanks for being supportive and excited about my plans. HUGS!<br />p.s. I just have to say I met Susan and Tracey who join as for T some weeks thru these classes and as you know they are pretty special. Can you believe the snowman art Susan made me, it's still sitting here making me happy!
