{ Happy Holidays }

Finally back from Japan. Been busy unpacking and cleaning the apartment. Took lots of photos in Japan but this is my fav. It reminds me that there will always be light as long as we don't give up.

Take Care and happy holidays.

{ My November 2014 }

What my November looks like in a monthly visual format. I'm learning to do watercolor so decided to do a watercolor exercise everyday in my daily sketchbox journal. (It is a traveler's notebook from Midori.) I'm also using it to for my idea book + monthly headlines list. Will post more about it later on. I have talked about using the Blogger app on my smartphone to post my daily drawing + ideas, but the app just didn't work for me. So will have to go back to doing the weekly post instead. Take Care :D
