Let's chat and catch up! updates, plans, art supplies hauls, thrift finds and more!

It's been a little quiet around here, so I thought I'd post a little (or long!) video where we chat and catch up! Well, mostly I do the talking, so comment below and then we can chat! :)
This past month I've been cleaning up my studio and going through things including fun finds that I didn't have a chance to play with or put away this past year. So, I thought I'd share them!
Friends, it's been a year! Actually, more than a year. BUT... I am so thankful that you are still here supporting my art journey, even when I check out for a bit. Our move, our gray kitty and lots that I don't share publicly have kept me from the studio more than I'd like. Plus, we vacationed for the first time in over 5 years. (I share all that in the video!)
Phew, I talk A LOT and and after watching it back, I know I could have said things a bit better, or used a different word here and there, these voice overs aren't always perfect, so bear with me, but I'm catching you up on life, future plans, goals, my word for the year, and also sharing some of the ephemera and supplies I picked up this last year.
I'm looking forward to what 2024 has in store, (that rhymes!) as long as it brings me peace. (hint on the word I'm leaning into this year.) A few exciting things are coming, and I'm glad you are here for the ride! THANK YOU!

I mention several art supply stores, just google for one near you or where you're traveling! there's nothing like going into a real store! Likewise, I always recommend googling antique & thrift stores wherever you are. You never know what you'll find.
