Journal With Me In My Traveler’s Notebook 

Happy belated Birthday Ali! So glad Rhea is healthy, I can imagine your worry. And, you are an artist, don’t say you’re not. Congrats Louise!

You are an amazing artist. You need to take credit for your work. That painting of the dogs is so amazing.

Happy belated birthday, Ali! Your birthday is the same day as my sister's. I'm glad Rhea is doing fine now. Merriam Webster says an artist is: a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination. Bingo, you are an artist! What a lovely gift for your sister! Congrats to Louise!

Happy belated birthday wishes Ali🎉 so sorry to hear your daughter was taken ill but so thankful she is well now. Your drawings are fabulous! Your sister will be over the moon with the portrait of her dogs, they are certainly the work of an artist!!! Take care and thanks again for sharing, hope you manage to get the glue ordered 😉 xx

Happy belated Birthday! 🥳 I love your drawings! And as long as you are happy making them, that's the most important thing! You are very talented! 🤗 Congrats Louise!!

Hi Ali, I’m glad you got my letter ❤ your spread looks beautiful with the envelope and collages 😊

Eeeeeeee! That was so fun to see the giveaway draw 😆 You always spoil me though Ali so I think it only fair that the love is shared. It’s coffee themed though…argh…must share….in the meantime though…how cute were your pages!? Gorgeous! Colour combos were ace! However, on a serious note…According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary an Artist is : a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination. Ali, all your creations, be they drawing, painting, collage, or written explorations of abstract concepts are ARt …ergo you ARE an artist. Now that that’s settled, I’m so glad Rhea had her health concerns investigated, worrying yes, but totally the right thing to do and certainly better to have the reassurance that all is well. As much as it pains me to forego that coffee journal and beautiful fine paper insert I feel that it is calling to someone else. Lots of love 😘 Louise

Belated happy birthday. Really enjoying your channel! Flowers are lovely. We seem to like similar colours and textures. Got my very first TN this week.

I feel like I missed your birthday!! But I knew it is in October so I’ve been thinking of you all month! 😂 I’ve had a very busy October so I’m all over the place and not at all caught up with your videos!! I hope you are well and had a wonderful birthday!! I’ve wanted to go to the British museum for the longest time!! I’m hoping to go around February for my birthday! It was my sisters wedding the other weekend and I had my first pro manicure for it and loved having painted nails!! I went for a similar colour as you have here, but mine was a little lighter and neutral because the wedding was very neutral. You absolutely are a real artist!! I would pay you to paint me something any day!!! You’re so clever!!! So glad you’re daughter is okay! That must have been really scary!

Ali: I'm not an artist. Kiwi: yeah, sure.... (continues to draw page after page of stick figures) 😂😂😂 You said you put your drawings in there to be proud of yourself, so be it! You ARE an wonderful artist, I guess I'm not only one thinking that. 😘😘 And what makes one an artist anyway? If it makes you happy? If you bring others joy when you use paintings as a gift? If you get paid for your art? 🤔 Happy birthday! 🎊I found a card that made me giggle and think of you, so I will send it to you. 🤗 Oh, so good that Ria (or is it Rhea?) is okay! I always try to keep track with my journal, where I do mostly happy memories, but sometimes it is more pure braindump, lol. Wow, congrats to Louise!! 😱🎊 Your surprised joy when she was drawn was so cute!

The paintings are truly amazing! Your so talented × the spreads are beautiful as well ×

You should feel proud - you are so talented!

I enjoy seeing your artwork. 🖼️

Happy belated birthday 🎉××
