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!

I know I went a little MIA all last week, but I was a little overwhelmed with school work. That’s what I get for taking so many summer classes! Same amount of work crammed into half the amount of time. This is a video I made a few weeks ago after we had just gotten back from visiting family. Made using @tcwpaints in Cinderella and ocean pearl. The base lettering is with a light gray @tombowusa brush pen on @strathmoreart watercolor paper. Using a round size 3 brush. #brushlettering #brushletteringpractice #brushletteringvideo #brushletteringnewbie #handletteringvideo #handlettering #watercolorpainting #watercolor #watercolorlettering #letteringcommunity #togetherweletter #calligrafriends #letteringvideo #oddlysatisfyingvideo #oddlysatisfying

I’ve so missed camping this year. Thanks COVID 😡 We had planned a 10 day trip to the north woods and Minnesota this year, but of course 2020 had other plans 🤷‍♀️. . . .

These colors from @lonelymoonarts totally give off all of the summer vibes!!

Outdoors is exactly where I spent most of the day today. I’m still not finished staining our deck 🙈 I grossly underestimated the amount of time and effort it would take with all of the spindles and stairs 🤷‍♀️ At least it was pretty nice out today!! Using the color “dollhouse” from @lonelymoonarts latest collection. You can just catch some of the gold shifts at the end. @the_letter_salon @madebymutiara @letteringbymhel #hotsummercoolletters #handletteringvideo #letters #handlettering #handletteringlove #brushlettering #brushletteringpractice #brushletteringvideo #watercolorpractice #watercolorlettering #watercolorvideo #lettering #letteringdaily #lovetoletter #colorshiftwatercolor #colorshift #letteringcommunity #calligrafriends

Hello Summer!!! Even though it’s felt like summe

Hello Summer!!! Even though it’s felt like summer no for several weeks here in the Midwest, yesterday was the official first day. We usually spend our summer months planning road trips and camping trips, but this summer I’m taking 4 classes for my degree instead 🤓. Do you have any plans for the summer??? Using @lonelymoonarts new summer collection colors rumors and flashback.

Oh man I wish we had a pool. True story we looked at a house that had a pool before we bought this house but my husband was so against it. He didn’t want the added headache of taking care of it 😫 I can understand that though. Still a pool would be nice with all of the 🔥☀️ weather we’ve been having!
