Computers are convenient and fast but not the same as setting pencil to paper. Same with books, I know that 'readers' are all the rage but I need to feel the weight and smell the ink on the paper when I read a book. LOVE your new journal, what a beautiful cover to inspire you and keep all your creative thoughts and drawings safe and sound. I'm sure your nieces and nephews will say of you "She was so talented and magical, we are so lucky that we have this wonderful remembrance of her!". Brave you to watch Grimm, it scares the heck out of me!!
