WIP Progress + April 2018 CampNanoWriMo

(I’m so excited to win a copy of Sightwitch by Susan Dennard during a Clan Chat! That cover is dazzling and the book is signed! Plus everyone can always use a tote bag, I’ll be using this for shopping. ^_~) I know! An update post on my writing has been long overdue. Apologies! I’ve been slowly making progress on revisions for my latest WIP, I’ve decided I’m changing the name of the novel but the title is still to be determined. The story has changed and grown more than I expected since I started it. It’s funny, I thought this…

DIY: Eyeshadow to Watercolor Paint Experiment

All right guys, if you know me then you know I like to be frugal. If you’ve been following me on social media then you know I’ve been playing around with watercolors which can be pretty expensive if you go for the artist quality which you should totally do. It’s worth it. But why don’t I use it here? Well my friend, read on. Ok, the main reason I picked this up at my local dollar store is that I wanted a compact and affordable travel watercolor palette. I’ve seen loads of people get clever and use Altoid tins and…

Review: Ecosystem Journal

Yay! Another notebook review! I’m actually still using this notebook as a catch all but I have realized that it’s been so long I think this company is out of business….ALTHOUGH you can find some on Amazon at the moment but some are sold out. I thought it was worth it to still do a mini review for those of you who like to be more eco-friendly with their supplies. First off, I won this notebook as a giveaway from Diane at the PocketBlonde blog and had been wanting to try this type of notebook since I first heard of it. Ecosystem claims…

Finished Journal + Life Update + Sketches

Just finished my latest journal! I’m so excited! I love starting new notebooks but I wasn’t really in love with this one, it’s by Markings from Staples but it only cost $5 but I still made every dollar count! This one took me almost 4 years to complete, since March of 2014. I used to have time to journal near daily but that slid off about when I got my previous job. I had been journaling off and on last year but I’m determined to journal at least weekly when I can. It’s been fun to see my progress and…

Internal struggles and Grace

Hey guys, decided to do a little real talk today. I’ve been feeling sick the last few weeks and I believe part of it is mental exhaustion and stress. Don’t get me wrong, part of it is physical too as I’ve also had to take time off because I’ve been feeling feverish, achy, and have headaches which are rare for me. I literally took some night medicine and slept 15 hours, almost all the way through because I was so exhausted. The funny thing is that I ended up staying up 15 hours after I woke up because I had…

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018

I’m alive!!!! See ya 2017, I’m so ready for 2018! 2017 ended up flying by for me the last half of the year. Lots of things happened. Some good, some bad. It’s all a roller coaster adventure with its highs and lows. 2017 highlights: Got a new job! Started December 1 and so far so good! Still can’t kick some of the habits I learned from the previous job but I’m working on it. I’m getting used to wearing “fancy clothes” for my business casual work place. I use that term loosely. That means anything that isn’t a t-shirt, sweatshirt,…
