No matter how hard I try, my “Keith Haring” flair comes through.

I’m looking forward to this brand new week. I have a few custom orders to do! Oh, I didn’t forget about creating my September video, don’t you worry. I’ll be working on that soon. Also, I’ve been thinking about raffling off one of the items in my Etsy Shop. I’ve never done one before. I’m thinking sometime next week. Stay tuned!

It’s Friday! Woo-hoo!

Well it’s just about over with, isn’t it? I’m staying home this evening due to feeling a bit under the weather. Hopefully things turnaround with the help from hot tea. I mean come on, who wants to be sick over the weekend? Surely not I.

I don’t know if you noticed but 2 new sets of earrings made their way into my Etsy shop yesterday. I’m having so much fun using these little twig beads that I acquired awhile ago.

Well that’s all for now. I’m gonna kick back with a steamy cup of Chamomile tea, snuggle with my cat, and watch a movie borrowed from a friend. Hope all you lovelies have good weekend and enjoy that crisp Autumn air.

Ah Portland. It’s so incredibly good to see you again.

Flying high above layers of cotton candy clouds and thinking fondly about my Nebraska trip.

My trip to Nebraska was pretty… pretty… pretty good. *throwin’ in a Larry David reference.* I wish there was enough time to see everyone though. I was always on the go- riding in a car to Lincoln, Columbus, Nebraska City, and Omaha. My trip included visiting with my family, in-laws, & a few friends. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to see them. And for that matter, so thankful to be able to be a part of my best friend’s special day, her wedding. Just you wait, I’ll be posting pictures very soon!

Enjoying the sunset, drawing in my sketchbook, and anxiously waiting for my connecting flight to PDX.

I will also be posting some snaps of my most recent doodles and sketches very soon. I’ve been working on two sketchbooks at the same time. Silly, I know.

Well I would love to share more about my Nebraska trip, but I’ve got to get going here. So much stuff to catch up on! See ya on Friday.

Heading out to The Good Life state. Be back in a jiffy. Enjoy this photo of my pal Jennie while I’m away.
