As I embarked on this journey to knock myself off. I looked though my blog from start which was January of this year to the present. One piece stuck out to me…gosh I hate to re-post this but here I go:
Do you remember this journal page???? It was one of my first attempts of do a person. Using my word for this year. ACHIEVE.
Here is how much I have grown 
Here is my do over!
The knock off is much better than my first attempt. I have a little more confidence in myself. I am proud of myself for being so brave to show off my work. I know I have a long ways to go but I am HAPPY at how far I have come!
I want to Thank Nancy for the sweet Circle of Friends Award! I know I am suppose to choose 5 people, but I just can’t do it. So, I tag you all that take the time to stop in a visit me!
Have a wondreful day! Thanks so much for stopping in!
Hugs,

That is so cool Kim… you’ve grown in 7 short months. I think it’s fun to revisit the past, not live in it, but learn and go forward. I like both journal pages, they are both unique and true to your ’space’ in time!

Great knock off. I have no idea why, but knock yourself off makes me giggle. It sounds so funny to me. Love the remake and the original.

Love them both! Even though you had the same “theme” they are both very different, but fabulous!

Nothing wrong with the first page, but I do like the redo better, too. It’s fun to see how we grow. Great crusade entry!

I like ‘em both – for me the second is different to the first, but not necessarily better. Sounds like you’re having fun growing in your art. I’m glad for you.

I can see how you’re getting so much more comfortable with paint! Very nicely done!
