Hello there, everyone! Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I submitted a journal, and now I'm here to tell you that I'll be gone for a while. My family and I are going to Italy this weekend for three weeks! I'm frightfully excited, as I've never been before, and everyone says that it will be beautiful! We'll be visiting Rome, Florence, Tuscany and Venice. I can't wait to see all the gorgeous artwork and architecture and simply the history of the place! Unfortunately, as you've probably already guessed, I won't be able to submit anything while we're there, even though I've got so many drawings I want to show you! But all and all, I'm sure I'm going to have a simply grand time, and I hope you guys wish me a bon voyage! Oh wait, that's french! Sorry!
