2016 - The year for Self-Development

In this post I share with you my journal page inspired by Kate Crane's Wanderlust class by Everything Art that I was bought for Christmas! 

I've also incorporated the Week 1 Journal Prompt from Journal52 - "Word Of The Year"
 
2016 is the year for embracing my quirks! Not just self-acceptance but also self-development.
