New Beginnings




I bought a new sketchbook on new years eve, some new pencils & oil sticks. It was a simple gesture to welcome a new beginning.



It also seems a fitting time, to say thank you to all of the friends I have made here on this blog. Thank you for sharing your lives, your creations, your inspirations. I have enjoyed the journey.


I look forward to the next chapter. To all of the followers that have stopped by, thank you for your comments, your encouragement, & your friendship.

Here's hoping 2012 will be filled with simple pleasures, happy surprises, & creative inspirations!

    My favourites Sally... those sennelier oil sticks! How lovely ...the new journal for the new year!
    Love the opportunity that a new year ushers in for thinking fresh things... madly recreating m living and work spaces after feeling too crowded with old stuff i don't need...but being way too busy to do anything about till now!
    Its been so lovely to have you pop in to my blog in 2011 Sally...
    Many blessings to you for 2012,
    Sophie
