Inside the sketchbook

   If you have a sketchbook or any place you doodle, sketch, or work on lettering then I want to see it. Seeing how other people fill pages when there is no agenda or end goal gives me endless inspiration and happiness. Even when work is incomplete I find it fascinating to see how each person's brain explores ideas. I often pour over pinterest, instagram and google images with the search word sketches or doodles. I especially do this when my own creative juices are running a bit dry. I have not been sketching much as of late-but have indeed been working out my creative addiction in other areas. I did want to share a glimpse into my sketchbook as of late. To be honest, I dislike the pages (minus a tiny image here or there) I have done recently....but if someone said that to me I would still plead with them to see inside. So here you are. And PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE if you sketch or doodle AT ALL share it with me!! You can either link to a blog post you do, or email me directly....I would so love it! I mean it.

I think one of the tiny images on this page I literally copied from someone's sketchbook, so if it was you..I am not trying to pretend I came up with it...it just is how I force myself to try new styles.

I love banners, but have a hard time creating them. I was trying my best here.

no, she has no arms....like I said...I was not planning on sharing this

PS: if you have children please get them sketchbooks...even if they are not at all artistically inclined at this point in their lives.

 



Current Favorite Kid Clothing: Misha Lulu

 

It is no secret I cannot get enough of the fashion brand Misha Lulu. Here are just a few reasons why.

 



If these items were hanging in my children's closets I would have quite a lot of fun! I like how their designs have a touch of quirk and vintage to them while remaining fresh and new. Someday I will bite the bullet and purchase a few of their items...but until then cheers to online closets:)

 

You can check

 out all their items here. The above images were taken from their website. 

 

 

Purple Beans

It all started with a lovely little surprise from an old friend I worked with 6 years ago.

 

 

 

So incredibly delicious! We ate half the bag and I cannot wait to enjoy the other half soon. What a gift to have friends who are willing to share the fruits of the labor with us. Thank you Loretta...we loved your purple beans!

Super Skinny Eye Marker

I am all over the place with lining my eyes. Sometimes I love a liner, sometimes I like shadow, sometimes I want nothing. When I want a liquid liner this has been my recent go to. It is as easy to use as a marker, which helps when lining one's eye since it is not an easy feat. Well priced and long lasting (unless you plan on crying) this one is pretty good overall.

 

You can find this at your local Ulta or online here.
