So last week one day while shopping for reading books for my daughter at  Barnes and Nobles, I saw this Light Green Sketch book beautifuly laid down...and even before I could shift my sight I heard her call me.  Making sure my husband was nowhere in sight I went ahead and   picked it up. I liked the feel of it and the blank white papers felt just right and instantly I knew what to do with it... Ignoring my dear husband's whys and what fors I got it home....

I am planning to make 1-2 journal pages each week, and I would be posting about it too...This week  I started with naming....

I used Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils for filling the alphabets ...it felt too much of a work to fill the space and then to wet it with water. I love the pencils but they are not good for a smooth paper like that of my sketch book, they are also not good for large spaces and they do not really blend well when brushed with a wet brush. So after finishing the alphabets, I got back to my regular watercolors for the background and the circles.
