As I was working through trying to find inspiration over the last month, one of the things that I do is pull all my books out and go through them.

I got the idea that I would, throughout the year, use those books to create a journal page from! Twice a month-ish…

I also got a new book (you know I needed it to lift my spirits.. wink)! It’s The Art of Anthropologie and OMGoodness is it a delight for the eyes!

So today’s journal page is brought to you from the very first page in that book.

I’ll share with you today the plans I have for this series through the year and the most fabulous books I’ll be using!!

I’m so excited and curious… which is my word for the year.

I hope you enjoy the project, now let go and play!  YOU are loved!
