I finally received Emma Lefebvre x Craftamo February subscription box today. Unfortunately, as you can see, my box is seriously damaged again like the first one. 🙁 As can be seen, the bubble wrap was very thin and I could feel the damage inside before opening the package.

LMA (Let’s Make Art)’s watercolour subscription box for January 2023 is “All Around the World“. Out of the four projects, I have been to two of the locations, so it is a bit nostalgic to paint them. By the way, I brought out my Kokeshi, a Japanese hand painted wooden doll from my trip to …
