A couple days late but this time I'm actually prepared for the month in advance! This month's bird is the robin…and I did my best before remembering why I hate using markers for colouring haha

Overly straightforward and simple means I actually remember to use this spread rather than just lump everything into my weekly log as I often do .__.

No one pay too much attention to where I clearly got lazy in drawing layers of feathers….but otherwise, not too bad? This owl turned out pretty cute!

Another week….another chubby birb to join the ranks of my attempts at getting better at drawing birds!

With the little cutout of my cover spread, I decided to flip my calendar/meal plan spread from how it usually sits - I may come back and add something to the top because it does feel a little bare.

Last year, I tried to follow a flower theme for the whole year and looked up what flower represents each month. This year, having challenged myself with birds….please enjoy the bird of the month, an owl! Now obviously there are multiple types of owls…but we're going to keep this simple and just accept "owl" as the theme for January

Someone who is good with marker blending….help??

Because the theme for this year is birds…you gotta include a fun facts page that I'm choosing to call the "Owlery of facts" - I will be including this every month as my final spreads. There are SO MANY OWL SPECIES but interestingly of the 25 genera, 2 fall into one family and the rest into another!
