Good evening, everyone!

This month marks the first month where I start posting the Bayou Journal monthly instead of weekly! This is also the first month that the journal will be posted as images instead of just text. Now — I had a hard time trying to get the PDF to load on here. I really wanted it to be in a way that you guys could download and print it, so I will try to figure that out next month. However, I had to do it this way for now. You should be able to save the pictures and print them out that way if that’s something you’d like to do. :) If you do print this out, I’d love to see how it came out.

The journal is usually only for my paid subs — but this first version of the new issue will be free. <3 I’m very proud of the cover image by the way. I took that picture myself. Pictures from the French Quarter Fest this year that are in this journal I took myself. There weren’t many. Our experience didn’t go as planned, that’s another story for another day. But I took a few! :)

Also, since I’m currently on a break from posting on my social media accounts, I did want to say thank you for 500 SUBS! I am over the moon that you all are here with me and I am blessed to be able to speak to so many of you!

See you again, soon.
