I've finished my first composition book and I'm pleased with the way it turned out. Actually, I had started writing in it a while ago and then decided it needed a lovely cover as I haul my sketchbooks and journals around with me jotting things down as things come to my mind-and that's quite a bit these days!

That's what my journals are for but I still write lots of notes. I eventually transfer the most important notes to my journals.

Today it's changed from freezing rain to snow and it's coming down steady. MM and I are tackling the project list one by one!
