A Happy New Year!

Love, peace, and blessings to all in the New Year! The little doodle I did above has a secret happy face in the glass that I actually didn't realize was there until I had finished! Haha ;)  You can find my hand-drawn 2012 at a glance calendar here to gear you up for the New Year! I'm ready for a great year, what about you?

Sketchbook Project Update...

Well, I must admit that I am getting a very late start on my Sketchbook Project :( A mixture of business, overwhelmingness, and procrastination. I have finished the cover and am working on the inside and I will share with you the progress on that very soon! Just wanted to give you a sneak peek at the cover :) Have a great day!

Busy Weekend...

I have been a busy little bee! Taking new pictures for the shop and getting prints out the door this weekend. All while working on a project for a book that I can't talk about just yet, but I will announce pretty soon!  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend and perhaps getting a little shopping done too :)
P.S. The above print is in the shop ready to go! Perfect for crafters :)

You Make My Heart Beep :)

Hot off the press!! A new illustration in my Etsy shop...a robot in love. I have had this little watercolor illustration waiting in the wings of all my other doodles. My boyfriend insisted I put this in my shop because he loves it so much, so I thought I would share the lovesick robot with you :)  Also trying a new backdrop for my product photos... a printer's tray. What do you think?

The Best Craft Show EVER!...No Really!

 

The 4th Annual Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash has come to a close and I must say...it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more! It was a heartwarming experience overall :) There was such a sense of community and friendship between all of the sellers and shoppers. I personally thank Etsy Dallas for their dedication to making this such a special event for everyone.  There was lots of fun to be had by all.  I'm so grateful for everyone who stopped by my booth and had such kind words to say! I heart you!  I have to humbly say that it goes on the top of the list as one of my proudest moments.  So thank you Etsy Dallas and all you lovely Jingle Bash shoppers ;) 

The Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash...only 1 week away!

The big Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash is next Sat. the 19th and I am working at getting things ready...like this hand lettered chalkboard sign outfitted with a new twine handle thanks to my super clever boyfriend :)  Still more work to be done! I hope if you are in the area that you can come out and SHOP/CRAFT/PARTY with me and the whole Etsy Dallas gang! I will be passing out free smiles and maybe a wink or two...who knows? :) handmadebash.com

Cool Site

I found this site writing-fonts.com where you can (for about 10 bucks) turn your own handwriting into a font which you could use on endless amounts of projects. I will have to try this!

Happy Halloween!

What spooky thing will you be dressing up as tonight?

Random Positive Act

A friend found this on the mirror in a restroom and shared it, so I thought I would share it with all of you! A simple reminder goes a long way.  How sweet! What about you? Have you witnessed any random positive messages recently? If so I would love to hear about them!

Inspiration from London & Paris Trip

Just back from my amazing trip to London & Paris where creative inspiration was everywhere! Here is some typography I found inspiring as well as some other things I just loved. Just want to share that you have to go to Spitalfields Market if you go to London! Louise Taylor of Crem-bru-laa recommended this amazing handmade and vintage marketplace to me and I fell in love! Bought an awesome hand printed t-shirt from Wind-up Bird of the world map. Also saw a fellow Etsy seller Afro Pumpkin's booth with gorgeous hand-sewn handbags. Go check'em out. Had a blast in the UK and France! So much creative energy :)
