Bullet Journal Lettering Tutorials

Bullet Journal Lettering Tutorials

Bullet Journal lettering is one of my favorite ways to relax and unwind. We all have that tiny voice inside of our head that says... "you can't do this" or "your handwriting is terrible" - we are truly our toughest critic. Don't believe it! I bring this up because awhile ago, I stopped looking at lettering as writing and I started to view it as drawing sets of simple lines and shapes. This opened up a whole new world for me, and I think it can do the same for you!

Noel! DIY Christmas Card with Watercolors

My little girl and I started playing a little holiday game of our own this year - whenever we are out and about, we count the cars driving home with Christmas trees on the roof. We have several Christmas tree farms around here which means people come from far and wide and even from New York City to get their trees.
