With Thanksgiving this week, I didn’t get much done in the way of creating (except for a plate of super easy, semi-lazy, delicious onion tartlets) until last night. For the second week of Get Messy Art Journal‘s magic theme, I went semi-dark. Once I broke…

Today: Happy Thanksgiving.
This quote has always been one of my favorites (and you know how I feel about doodling in white on black paper and, like, cutting stuff out when I should be doing other things). Gratitude really does unlock the fullness of life. I’m grateful for a…

Today: Being responsibly indulgent.
The change in seasons, the end of Daylight Saving Time, and the final weeks of my pregnancy have combined forces to make me, basically, an exhausted grouch. I had a routine appointment with our midwife last week (and am headed to see our ob-gyn this…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 1
I’m so happy the latest season of the Get Messy Art Journal challenge has begun (I’m also so excited about this season’s theme: Serenity!). I seem to lose momentum between seasons and realize how much I benefit from the community, structure and accountability of this…
