School is back in session! When I was younger I loved shopping for back to school supplies. But what was even more fun was decorating my new trapper keepers or covering my textbooks with colorful papers. The one thing I never really thought about decorating were my notebooks. Honestly I’m so surprised I never thought…

Whenever I see cute pen and pencil pouches at a store, I can’t help myself, I always want to buy them. I’ve actually collected quite a few canvas pencil pouches over the years to use as carryalls for my art supplies. When I’m traveling I always seem to have at least one pen and pencil…
Painting rocks is easier than it looks and it’s also quite addicting once you get started. It can be difficult to figure out the best supplies and techniques so I thought I’d create a guide based on my experience. For years I sold my painted stones on Etsy, but now I prefer to share what I’ve learned so that others can enjoy painting rocks as much as I do.
Lately, I’ve been obsessing over pretty galaxy art, and I thought it would be fun to take that same concept and apply it to painted stones. I have to say that although it may look complicated, this is one of the easier rock painting DIYs I’ve tried. You don’t have to be super artistic to achieve a beautiful painted rock. You can make your own galaxy painted rocks with just a few simple steps and supplies.
My six year-old has forgotten about his fidget spinner. It sits lonely and still on his bedroom dresser. I find myself spinning it each time I go into his room hoping to bring back the magic that was once there when he first received it. But no magic has returned. It still sits lonely. But I have an idea on how to bring the magic back…
I love rock painting and doodling on rocks! I’m actually obsessed with it. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see that I post pictures of my obsession quite often. When Faber-Castell USA asked if I wanted to try out some of their art supplies to see if they worked on rocks, I jumped at the chance.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to hand letter and I actually follow quite a few hand lettering artists on Instagram. One of my favorite hand lettering artists I follow is Erin from @GoFontYourself and I’m excited to have her as a guest poster to tell you all about how to get started with hand lettering and the best hand lettering supplies for beginners. After reading Erin’s post, I’m definitely ready to start hand lettering myself.
One of the questions I get the most on my Instagram page is, “What are your favorite markers and pens?” This is such a hard question to answer because I adore markers. They’re like shoes for me, you can never have too many. Every time I see a new set of colored markers at the store or online, I want to buy them. The pretty rainbow colors suck me in every time. Below are my favorite markers and pens that I turn to over and over again for my art and doodles.
