Live and Love

My two notebooks arrived today. One is Love, which I will be using for pencil sketches, and the other is Live, which I will be using for watercolour sketches.

I am both thrilled and afraid to use these notebooks. Thrilled to fill them with drawings and afraid that my drawings will not be as beautiful as the notebooks that contain them.
