I am nearly finished working in my mini kawaii art journal. It was a very relaxing project to work on in the evening. The journal is getting a bit big for its britches so I probably put a bit too much paper in it. I’ll have to keep that in mind for future collage related … More Quick Midweek Hello!
It’s hard to put into words what is going on in this season of my life. It has been such a long season of waiting on God.

I have been a little slow at posting this summer. It has been a pretty exhausting summer in many ways, with personal battles, and so I’m choosing to give myself a lot of grace. I have learned a lot in the midst of it, and I know that God has been working all things for … More All The Updates

Since I am still in the midst of my mentorship program, I should be working on my 100 works on paper, and I should … More Procrasti-crafting and Independence
