The secret is out! .......

Happy Friday .......

How's January going so far? 
Did you make any New Year's resolutions? ........  Have you broken any yet?
If you're like me, I've given up on all that ...... the diet never really starts, especially seeing as how there's chocolate left over from Christmas.  Dry January can't last, because we have too many events going on, and the other half is a bad influence on me!  And the exercise bit never really gets going! Although we have got a treadmill on order ....... I do need to loose a few pounds and get in shape just a little bit because ..... not only have we got the motorhome arriving soon but, we also have a big holiday coming up at the end of May.  We're off to Disney in Florida with the little man ..... whoo hoo!!  I need to get in training for all that walking around the theme parks!


It was supposed to be a secret for a little while longer but, the travel guide arrived this week and the Disney park tickets are on their way plus, Alex has been asking about where he's going on this years holidays so, we told him! ........ he totally freaked out!
He's now reading the travel guide cover to cover, watching YouTube videos of the parks and rides, and he has a notebook to make a list of all the things he wants to do ..... I think he's going to need more than one!! 
I don't know who is more excited though ..... Alex or Lauren!  She's downloading apps and maps and goodness knows what!  It's a good few years since we've been to Disney, everything has changed so much.  Only 20 weeks to wait ...... not that I'm counting!

Things have been a bit busy in the craft room this week, trying to get back into the swing of things.  Blog challenges have all started up again, and there's new product releases on the way. 
I'm also trying to catch up on an art journaling course that I started at the beginning of December.  Everything was going so well until we went away for the weekend, then I'm afraid it got put to one side.  I am determined to finish it though ....... I have all the prompts and videos and I made a whole load of notes and ideas. I just need to make time to settle down and do it!!

Here's a quick look at a few of my finished pages .........





I've also signed up for Wanderlust 2020 from Everything Art ....... a year long, online, Art Journaling Course.  I have done one of these before, about 3 or 4 years ago, and it was so much fun.  I want to do more art journaling this year, learn to understand it better and be happy with my finished pages.  I'll keep you posted on how I get on.

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend.
We're off out tomorrow ..... first time this year!!  Then we have a busy two weeks coming up ..... two birthdays to celebrate and Burn's Night.

Cheerio until next time ......
