Lately, I’ve been struggling with feeling uninspired and unmotivated to create. So this past week, my friend John and I went on another artist date. This time we did a bit of sketching at Fort Tryon Park. We initially intended to visit the gardens and just sketch some flowers. Yet, we ended up exploring and discovering some new places in the park that we didn’t even know existed. Like Billings…

my disneyland 2018 altered book
Read moreI’ve finally completed my Disneyland 2018 altered book! And I am so happy with how it turned out! If you remember, I went to Disneyland Anaheim for the very first time back in late October 2018 with my friend, to attend Dapper Day. It was a short Disney trip. We only spent two and a half days at the park, but it was perfect for this altered book. If you…

DIY Delfonics Utility Pouch
Read moreIf you’ve been following along over on my Youtube channel, you’d know that a few weeks ago I shared this pouch I made to house my journaling supplies that looks a little like the Delfonics Utility Pouch. The response was seriously overwhelming, with everyone either wondering if I was selling them or if there was a tutorial on how to make them. I responding to each comment asking me this,…

dreamcatcher: may 2019 printable | journal with me ✩ 25
Read moreIt’s the first of the month, which means there’s a brand new journaling printable for May in the shop! I went for a very ethereal feel with this printable. My aim was to use the color blue, but I’ve somehow repeated March’s color scheme a bit here with the soft purples and greens. I was heavily inspired by some clipart I purchased on Creative Market, altering them a bit and…

another year | journal with me ✩ 24
Read moreI went for a little walk through Central Park this week with the intention of finding inspiration and filming another artist date video. It was an extremely lovely day this past Tuesday, so after stopping off at Muji for a little treat, my brother walked with me through Central Park. I can’t remember if I ever walked the length of the park before, but that day I did. It was…

your stories matter
Read moreI finally made it out to Central Park this spring and it was such a lovely day. I found ALL THE BLOSSOMS! Honestly, I think this was the first time ever that I walked from one end of the park (59th Street) to the other end (110th Street) all in one go. My brother and I walked it this past Tuesday. My intention was to find some blossoms, soak up…

currently – 04.15.19
Read moreI turn a year older today. I don’t particularly feel my age (nor do people believe it because I don’t look it), so I guess being a year older doesn’t mean much. But I thought it would be fitting to do a currently post, just to share where I am now–or today really. It’s always nice to have these sorts of things documented. Reading — Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen.…

dead poets society: april 2019 printable | journal with me ✩ 23
Read moreI am happy to finally be able to share with you my brand new journaling printable for April! This one–I think–is a bit different for me, but I still really like it. I hope you do too. It’s a bit dark–kind of in a 2000s emo sort of way–with the mint and pink colors a bit subdue. The extra sticker sheet I created for my shop though is quite possibly…

my Top 5 favorite 80s teen movies
Read more80s teen movies are kind of my favorite type of teen movie. I keep a running list of them on my computer desktop and constantly check off the ones I’ve seen. I haven’t seen them all yet, but from the ones that I have, I have my favorites. These are the movies that I can rewatch at anytime and still enjoy it like I did the first time I saw…

my silva rerum journal
Read moreI recently finished Caylee Grey’s new class Silva Rerum Art Journal on Creativebug and was so inspired to make a silva rerum journal of my own. Silva Rerum is Latin for the forest of things. Caylee describes it as as a commonplace book noble Polish families used to document their family memories. Commonplace books are generally “anything goes” sort of book where you put in everything from your life. This…

little talks | introducing my new podcast
Read moreSo I started a podcast. To be honest, it wasn’t really my idea at all, so I can’t take all the credit for it. My best friend Amanda came to me wanting to do something–in that way we all want to do something–and suggested we start a podcast. I didn’t think much of starting a podcast in the beginning, but the more we talked about it, the more it began…

hello beautiful | journal with me ✩ 22
Read moreHello Beautiful! I’m back sharing another spread in my Unraveling journal. This one is a bit interesting in that I’ve taken something old that I was going to throw away and made it into something new in my journal. Back in 2014, I used to write to an assortment of pen pals all over the world. At this point today, I’ve only managed to keep in contact with one of them, even…
