I’m on a kick. All the new stuff I bought. And after no painting in awhile. And I have this free time…...

I finished a nice background awhile back. Like in August maybe. But then I was unable to do anything with it. And I haven’t painted anything new since then. What with school. It was my first semester, so just getting back into the swing of it. I’d look at that background from time to time, but nothing came to me.
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to paint again as I’ve been unpacking. Waiting to get the art room settled. I didn’t know how I wanted to painted or what. Just that I wanted to.
Then I got some embellishments, some glitter, some new stamps.
The art room is not done, but it’s done enough. All I have left are finding spots for a few leftover things. So I painted.

I just moved. It was rough. A very very difficult time. The move. The end of school. The uneasiness that living in the new place brought the first weeks. I’ve finally started to unpack. Slowly. After being here for almost a month. Three weeks, and I just unpacked most of my clothes, not all of them, not yet, but most. And the last of dishes. I still have more boxes to go. Next thing you know, I might actually live here.

I have about seven new pages. These are some of them.
