What a nice memory of the holiday, hoping to get some cozy memories in my journal too.

Mmm, these photos make me feel all warm and cosy. And now I'm considering using my holiday to draw my week... But do I have time? 😋

I have been admiring your weekly visual journals for a couple months now! I am inspired to start my own! Honestly, I could stare at your visual journals for ages. I would buy a year book of your journal, I like it that much!

I love it... I was just thinking how out of the habit of photographing everything I have gotten- I've missed a number of things this year that way, but it was because I have been trying to actually see things rather than be observing through my phone camera that I started doing it! Perhaps I just need to separate the camera from the phone again 😉

Meanwhile I still have my tree, and I might just draw it tonight while we sit watching TV as a family! I've already watched Die Hard (made my family watch with me 🤣) and enjoyed Red One yesterday, so I might add them to my spread too!

I've been through that as well but inevitably I always come back to photography as a way of appreciating details. Hope you've enjoyed your Christmas season.

These are all so pretty and cozy, and have me wondering if I can change my habits and start painting in my sketchbook again next year. Thank you for the inspiration!
