Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

Putting together these little wildlife pocket booklets have been so fun! I enjoy creating critters in silly situations and telling stories w/out-of-the-box scenarios.

As we all fall fast asleep, lots of critters are just waking up! It’s a whole different world for our Nocturnal Neighbors!
What kind of creatures have you spotted?

Getting back into the swing of spending the weekends on projects. Is anyone else out there working a regular job and hitting the passion projects in the evenings/weekends?

4 Things I did to help reset my Creative Goals and Habits this month!
✨
Sometimes I end up zooming from one task to the other without coming up for air. It’s becoming a daily practice to sit down and plan out “side quests” to compliment my creative flow 💕
✨
Do you schedule downtime?

One of my resolutions for ‘25 is to work on connecting w/friends & family. Calling, texting, mailing a letter, or making time in person.

Have you ever been so busy you realize it’s been days since you’ve made time for another person?

I’ve never had any issues with them! Ordered both standard and premium business cards and postcards on a regular basis for a few years.

I’ve always used Vistaprint. For a few years I did their VIP program but outside of that I usually wait for their big 40% off offers. (They do them all the time!)
