Currently December 2023- from the Currently Workbook by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com

Currently December 2023!

Happy New Year! Another year of sharing my months with you online! This month was a hectic one. Decembers usually are.  The holiday season was a doozy. Thank you so much for all of your orders from my Etsy shop this month. I am so excited to work with you on your productivity and creativity this year. YAY. 

This year I will be shifting this Currently Workbook project from Shutterbean over to The Handwriting Club Substack.  I am ready to start fresh and new. Be sure to subscribe. Paid members will get a more in-depth look at my pages. (THANK YOU!)

December marked 13 years of doing my weekly photo project- MY EVERYDAY LIFE

It is also the EIGHTH year of doing this Currently Project! 

I wrote about it in my December pages. Here’s a video! 

What I have learned on this art journey!
