Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday with family and/or friends.
I took a crafting break today so there won’t be a Make Something Mondays project. Spending time with family took precedent.
But I did want to post something today. I’m sure you’re still in the holiday spirit, so here’s a Christmas tree coloring page! Holidays can be really stressful, especially for the people who host parties, so I wanted to give you a creative way to relax. Read the whole post
This is the last week of inktober drawings. I’m sad. I know I can keep going, but it just isn’t the same. The community that’s grown out of the inktober challenge is so wonderful and I’m going to miss it.
If you’ve been viewing, liking, commenting or sharing my work, thank you very much.
If you’ve been participating, thank you for sharing your work and inspiring me!
Happy Halloween, all!
Here are my inktober drawings for week 3!
I can’t believe there’s only two more week left. It doesn’t feel like it. I might keep it going.
If you’re participating, let me know where you’re posting. I’d love to follow you!
It’s that time of year again… #inktober!!!!!
You can’t tell I’m excited, can you?
If you’ve never heard of inktober, you should read about it, but I’ll give you a quick overview. Every year, for the month of October, artist, and non-artists, practice their ink skills by creating one ink drawing a day for each day in October. You can share it with the rest of us, or not, but we would love to see it! Read the whole post
I’ve never been in a house that didn’t have at least one decorative element on the wall. I bet you can’t think of one either. So, it’s probably safe to say that people like wall art. However, they might not want to pay for some of the more expensive options.
I like to make art and I enjoy teaching other people to do the same, so it makes sense to start with decorative, simple art.
This example is great for the modern home that needs a small pop of color. Read the whole post
What a great idea! This Boston-based artist gives away his artwork for the promise of more smiles. He’s done this in all 50 US states.

My mom LOVES flowers and that is probably and understatement. The house I grew up in is like a jungle because of all of the plants. Anyway, it was her birthday on Thursday so I went home for the weekend to spend some time with her.
I know it’s traditional to buy birthday cards, but I’m really not a fan of picking up some templated card with text that some random person wrote. I wanted to give her a birthday card that was more personal so I decided on a watercolor painting with a happy birthday at the bottom. Read the whole post
Every artist that carries a sketchbook should have an easy-to-access pencil. Some carry multiple pencils in a fold-up case, but I typically don’t used more than one or two at a time. But every time I get an idea, I have to look for a pencil. So, I thought about buying a pencil holder for my sketchbook but, of course, decided to make my own instead. I know you’re surprised.
It’s really easy, cheap, and didn’t take long at all. Read the whole post
To everyone who’s celebrating today, Happy Easter!

I have an obsession with notebooks and sketchbooks.
Every time I go to a craft store and see a pretty sketchbook, I buy it. Do you know how often I’m in a craft store? I’m not even going to tell you… It’s better for both of us.
Needless to say, I have a lot of sketchbooks. I know I’ll use them, so I don’t mind my collection. But I will only carry them around if they’re small. Read the whole post
