Hello friends!
If you’ve been following me for a while, you may know I’ve been slowly working my way through the Bible, a chapter at a time, and writing out my favorite verse from each day’s reading in a little sketchbook. Well, I finally reached the end of the Bible and filled up my 17th sketchbook! I wanted to show you guys a few of my favorite lettering pieces from the last journal or two.
Enjoy!
Hello friends!
I have an art post for you today: a peek into the sketchbook I use for drawing portraits. I’m very slowly tackling the 100 Heads Challenge, which is basically a Pinterest board of people’s faces to draw. (Check out the original challenge video here for more details.) Drawing people is not my forte, so some of these pieces turned out… less than beautiful. :’D I’ve still found this challenge really useful for practicing my skills though. I’ve made it to 31 faces so far and thought this was a good time to show you what I’ve accomplished!
Enjoy my attempts at portraiture. 🙂
Hello friends!
Get ready for a cozy and aesthetic post! I went all out for Sully’s and my first “married” Christmas: lots of handmade decorations to make our house feel extra pretty and special. I filled it with fresh greenery, twinkly lights, dried orange slices, and a Christmas tree that might be my favorite yet.
Come in and take a tour, will you?
Hello friends!
I love receiving pretty printed Christmas cards in the mail, but it’s always extra special to receive a handmade Christmas card. Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, here are a few simple card ideas you can create yourself! Send them to friends or attach them to Christmas gifts as gift tags.
Break out your pens and colored pencils and let’s make some festive artwork.

I am THRILLED to finally launch a project I’ve been working on for many months: an online art course just for you guys, accessible right from my blog. You might remember the blogging tips mini course I released last year, which you can access here. Since then I’ve been creating video lessons for a full course: over 1.5 hrs. of lessons about hand lettering & typography.
Today I’m going to explain a bit about the course, show you a sneak peek of what’s inside, and give the details on how you can join. Let’s jump right in!

This post is a result of requests from my readers, the holiday season approaching, and a post idea I’ve had for literally years.

Maybe it will help you find gifts for loved ones or a few ideas for yourself. 🙂 I divided everything into categories with links for easy access. Enjoy!
Hello friends!

Enjoy this collection of artistic inspiration!

Hello friends!
When I made my last Bible journaling post, I had to save the Gospels for another time since I didn’t have room. So here I am with verses from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John!
If you’re new here, I am going through the Bible and copying down my favorite verse or passage from each chapter in (hopefully) pretty lettering. So far I’ve filled 15 small journals. In these posts I feature a few of my favorite pages. If you like hand lettering, word art, or need some encouraging Bible verses today, read on. ❤️
Hello friends!
This is the last post before I take a break for the wedding + honeymoon, ah! More on that at the end of the post. Anyway, I decided to catch you guys up on some recent Bible journaling, and then realized that… I haven’t made one of these posts for a LONG time, oops. Scratch the “recent” part.
For years now I’ve been hand lettering my favorite verse or two from each chapter of the Bible as I read through it. I’ve made it to the book of Acts so far, but today we’ll just go through some of my favorite pieces from Daniel through Malachi.
Whether you’re here for the Bible verses or the hand lettering inspiration, I hope you enjoy this collection of journaling!
