My ROD journal is being filled up, mostly with pictures of the snow we’ve got this winter. It has been an extraordinary winter for us here in Bergen.

Here are two pictures from the book:

I’ve been making myself a new Sketchbook, filling it with many kinds of paper. My youngest daughter fell in love with it imediately and ordered one for herself.

I’m really satisfied with the result, and it was fun making it too.
