GIRL BOSS: A Collaborative Riot Grrl Zine
This Monday was especially exciting at the post office for me. I was surprised with my very own ZINE from the GM squad. I was out of my skin excited as I was trying to do business and get things mailed out while trying to look at this thing, haha. Vanessa, Julia, Lauren, Katie and…

The In Between: Pt 2
Guys, it’s almost the end of the month which means two things: 1) The most depressing month of the year will be over! Hooray! We get to move on to Valentine’s Day and only 9 more Saturdays until Spring (according to a meme with a cat frolicking in grass), so there is hope. 2) The…

The In Between
It’s been radio silence over here for some weeks now. The holidays happened, which means it’s always a whirlwind of activity. My husband and I are lucky enough to live close to both our families, so we end up seeing everyone over Christmas. Which usually translates to about a week of Christmas dinners and get…

My Art Journal Journey
Everyone loves an origin story, right?

Ya Been ZINED // Woodland Wonderland
A couple months ago I was invited to be a part of a secret zine for the lovely Julia and was so excited to be in on the secret! She just received it last week after me, Vanessa, Katie, and Lauren all contributed to it. We went with a woodland theme, which suits Jules perfectly.…

Season of MAGIC // Week 4
By magic itself, I somehow was on an art journaling rampage and managed to complete 7 pages this week. I think this is a record for me. Most weeks I can pull out 2-3 pages, MAYBE 4 if I’m feeling inspired. I guess I was pretty inspired this week? I have no idea. The even…

Season of MAGIC // Week 3
Another week, another set of prompts! Yes. This week’s prompts were all about our inner landscapes, which actually coincides with the mini journal I did earlier this week. What makes me, me. However, the first page was actually from the weekend while I was at a craft show, trying to pass the time during the…

Letters to My Younger Self.
Let’s all start off with a deep bow of awe for the amazing Nina via Get Messy, who came up with this wonderful journal. I can’t even take credit for it because it’s her genius that dreamt it into reality. I know there are people who struggle with sharing themselves online beyond the happy moments,…
