  **************                 Hello Again!              **************   11-20- 2022          I hope everyone had a great week. This is the last week of the project and the week before Thanksgiving. I unfortunately got sick halfway through the week but I was able to take that time and devote it to my project. Over the past 12 weeks, I have done a lot of painting and a little journaling. I did not expect this project to go the way it has but I have enjoyed it nonetheless. I have learned a lot about plants and myself in the process. Growth was my theme and not only do I think each piece I made contained that, but my person did as well.

This week was very busy with school work so finding time to participate in this exercise was difficult. However, I was able to complete my drawing despite the scheduling issues. I decided this week to work on cinnamon as inspired by the holiday season. Cinnamon is one I can work with in my cooking journey as well as learning about the different herbs. I feel like I have grown a lot with this project and I am sad to see it coming to an end so soon. There are still a few more posts left so lets make the most of it! I decided to learn about cinnamon this week.  ***********************                           Monday                   ...
