Happy New 2018 ~ Goals & Dreams

Dearest Friends and Crafters, The New Year is HERE and I am SO excited! It's good to be alive and I feel refreshed and rearing to start it all over again- bigger and better. My word for 2018 is EVOLVE and I am planning to take all my goals and dreams to the next level this year so I thought it was a perfect word to encompass it all. I am so excited to be returning to Creative Team at Aunty Vera Scrap & Craft in 2018. I plan on art journaling a whole lot in 2018 and so I've made the #mywatercolorartjournal2018 I have several series starting on my YT Channel - watch out for announcements soon! I am also excited to be involved in some collaborations with some very talented Youtubers.  These girls seriously inspire and motivate me to be my better self and I could not be more happy to be working along side them in the Creative Team as well as being awesome FB friends. ~ Lolly from  Lolly Palooza ~ Suzanne Johnston So many wo
