Truth for today. And always. 🐿

#truthfortoday #verseoftheday #watercolor #illustration

Look at those baby faces! (family picture from 2015)

And look at that curious reindeer! (He’s like, why is there a wreath around my neck?).

If you love the idea of a handwritten card … but don’t want to miss sharing a family photo … just pop one in (a 3x5 works great) with one of the new Christmas Notecards and you’ll have the best of both.

Christmas Notecards are available for preorder until TONIGHT. Make sure you get your order in! ✉️

An early version of Audrey from the book, Twirl.

Later, I gave her a striped dress, yellow shoes and a headband. But this first version is still so sweet.

One of the tricky parts of running a product-based business is knowing how many items to order.

I bought what felt like enough notecards and then realized maybe it wasn’t? So yesterday we offered them as preorders just to make sure if I didn’t have enough, I could order more, package them and get them to you in time.

Well, turns out I didn’t order enough ☺️. But that’s okay because now we know just how many you all want!

Make sure to preorder your Christmas notecards by this Friday and they will ship the week of November 8th, in plenty of time for sending to your favorite people. ✉️

It’s time to think about Christmas cards! 🌲

I painted four new Christmasy illustrations and put them on lovely folded notecards for you to send to your people. You’ll find: Reindeer, Holly, Christmas Boughs, and Chickadee.

The notecards are perfect for writing a note, popping in a family photo, pairing with a gift card, bringing as hostess gifts or using as thank you notes.

Pre-order is open this week only so I can get them to you in time for all the holiday cheer!
