A lot of things have me thinking lately about knowing who we are and liking who we are.
When we strip away all of the material things, the titles, the accomplishments, the amount of likes and follows on social media, the number of times per week we go to church, the political candidate we support, the brand of religion we profess...when we are stripped down to the essence of who we are.
What is left?
Do we like what we see?
Are we good to other people?
Do we leave them feeling better about themselves?
Do we encourage them?
Do we make time for the people that matter most to us?
In the end that's all we really have...liking our stripped down selves and being good to others.
XO,
It is always exciting when I am asked to create commissioned illustrations, but this project stands out as one of my favorite so far.
My friend Kimberley asked me to design a "dashboard" for her new planner kit club including the theme "frolic into fall" with all sorts of autumn icons including a cute coffee cup, bonfire, pumpkins and leaves. Here is how the kit turned out {In in LOVE!}...
And here is a close up of the dashboard illustration...
In addition to the dashboard piece, there are lots of fun stickers with the individual illustrations. So fun!
Here is the link to buy the kit!
Hope you are having a fabulous holiday weekend! I'm SO excited to sleep in again tomorrow.
XO,
Happy Tuesday friends!
It has been awhile since I shared a peek into my sketchbook on the blog, so I thought today would be a good day! I did a lot of drawing last night preparing some new coloring pages for an exciting collaboration. I'm not quite ready to share the news yet but hopefully very soon!
Here are a few of my sketches from last night...
That super intricate frame in the middle is my favorite...the middle will be filled with an encouraging handlettered quote.
I also want to say a heartfelt thank you for the response so far to my coloring book. It is super humbling and exciting when people want to pay you to do something you love.
If you want a copy for yourself or for a gift, you can preorder a hard copy here, or get an instant digital copy here.
You are awesome!
XO,
