Oh hello

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm a 30 something, chocolate loving, planner addicted, hand letterer of all the things. When I'm not staring at my computer screen or doodling on whatever scrap of paper that's lying around, I love spending time outdoors and camping with my husband and 9 year old chocolate lab.

Here you can unleash your creativity with me and learn all about hand lettering, calligraphy and design!

When it comes to adulting I’m always telling my husband that I don’t want to, I just want to make pretty things. For example I don’t want to clean the house, I just want to make it look nice. When I was struggling to grasp JavaScript this past semester in school, I kept complaining to him that I didn’t want to “code” I just wanted to make pretty websites 🙈 I am fully aware that knowing JS is part of that, but still. 😂 Anyone else relate? These colors together are 😍 the first is heartbreaker from @lonelymoonarts and the second is sunset blvd from @tcwpaints.

Oh oh oh it’s magic..you know. Just pretend that

Oh oh oh it’s magic..you know. Just pretend that song by Pilot is playing with the video k? I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to editing videos let alone adding music 🙈. I love this color “magic” from @lonelymoonarts because it is literally magic to me. I have no idea how she gets all of her paints to change color like that! Or how she captures it in photos! I tried to get the shift from blue to black to purple at the end with one of my lights 🤷‍♀️ @lonelymoonarts color magic On @strathmoreart watercolor paper #brushlettering #brushletteringpractice #brushletteringvideo #brushletteringnewbie #handletteringpractice #handletteringlove #letteringvideo #moderncalligraphy #letteringcommunity #calligrafriends #creativelettering #oddlysatisfying #watercolorpainting #watercolorlettering #watercolorvideo

Who else loves the office 🙋🏼‍♀️ My bff and I always text this to each other on our birthdays. It’s tradition. And while I contemplated making this in brown and gray and drawing half blown up balloons, I ultimately opted to test out my new watercolor “magic” I got today from @lonelymoonarts —she has more in stock but I bet it will go fast!
