Good Vibes Only!

It's a new day! Let's make it awesome!

This print would work perfectly at your desk, but be cautioned, if you post this print- you are responsible for the vibes you give off- are you up for the challenge? Can you do it? Can you give off good vibes, can you be the atmosphere changer in your work zone?

Wanna try? Print it, post it, do it.
See how the atmosphere changes.

Purpose + Grown Up Colouring!

So it is official, as you know we are going! I had the opportunity to share my heart with our Church Family- I was so humbled by the support we received. People came up to me after my talk and just wanted to hug me, say thank you, tell us that they will be supporting us, either in prayer, encouragement and some financially. We are so honoured.

If you'd like to see my personal story, hear my voice, hear my heart, you can click here:

On another note, I wanted to add more GROWN UP COLOURING pages to the blog. I have been using these and loving them. What a great way to spend some quiet time meditating on the good things;

Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and good, think on those things! (Philippians 4:8)

I hope you take the time to watch my video and also to download these sheets and spend some quality creative time with yourself :)

Home is...

Home is where the heart is,
where the art is,
where the good coffee is,
where the Dog is,
and Home is where I want to be.

I'm so happy to be home, now if I could just shake this jet lagged feeling of wheezy breath, heavy ocean waves running through my body and the desire to do nothing more than go to bed. Ah- but you know what- tomorrow it will be less, and the day after that- and then gone, and life will be back to normal. My Favourite.

What is your favourite thing about home?

The Ocean Blue.

I could travel the world
the ocean blue
but I'll never be home
until I'm with you...

Oh how true.

This one I made for Timothy the Dog... We will be travelling shortly and Timo will be home with a sitter. The world doesn't seem quite right when I don't have Timothy the Dog breathing on me... farting... sighing... and leaving fur everywhere.  I think I'm going to miss him a lot this time around.

I love this print, it took me a long time to finish - oy!  I hope you love it too!

Oh Darling...

Let's Be Adventurers!

This wasn't really my dream as a little girl, as a little girl I wanted to be a farming artist... I still want to be a farming artists, but I guess adventures will come first.

What adventure has captured your heart? What part of the world would you like to visit, or have you visited that has your heart?

This year has been a year of adventure for Duy and I. I am so humbled and honoured when I get see how others live, how other's do life. I can't wait for next year to go to Africa and live with a group of people for a short time, and see how it will change my heart yet again...

Where does your adventuring heart take you in your dreams?

Happy Tuesday,

How Appropriate.

This is my 300th post, how appropriate...

A week ago, I had been thinking about what I could do to celebrate 300, nothing came to mind, so I just left it, haven't thought about it since, until I go to post today- how serendipitous.

This morning, I was just crushing on my coffee and doing some hand lettering- and this cute little saying was born- It came from seeing a Valentine's day card that said "I like you a latte".  I turned a phrase and created a quick printable so I could share it with you guys!


Happy 300th Post DAY! Thank you for being so amazing- I like you a latte!

I hope your Tuesday is amazing!

Rise and Shine!

Rise and Shine, it's coffee time!

Coffee may or may not be one of my favourite things to get out of bed for. Today, it is rainy, it is dark, cold, and did I mention rainy. The hubby (my favourite thing/ person/ entity to get out of bed + hang out with) left super early this morning. I got up and sent him off, with a kiss and a wave, then slid back into bed, for what I figured would be, maximum,  an hour.  Four hours later I woke up- oops.

Today I got up, because of coffee... warm, dark, wonderful coffee.

I hope you are fully caffeinated this fine Tuesday morning!

Home is...

Home is where the good coffee is. Period.
I've been a few places, I know it to be true.
The best coffee is the stuff you make at home.

It's 4:30 in the morning, I am dealing with jet lag, among other things, can't sleep- dreaming of my morning coffee, but I know if I try to have it now (which I did yesterday) it makes for a long hard day.

Happy Tuesday!

The Big Kahuna !

I know myself pretty well, and I am a list maker. But if I have a list that looks impossible to finish, I get myself overwhelmed and then my 'go to' is to take a nap, leave the house, or curl up on the couch and pout. So when I found a to do list that made sense to me, I wanted to share it.

I like to tackle 1 Big Kahuna a day, 3 kinda big things, and 5 little things. I can organize my entire week by printing off bunch of these and dating them accordingly:

1 Big Kahuna:
- A Blog Post
- A new graphic design project
- etc.

3 Kinda Big things:
- invoice clients
-finish a project
-organize the office
-meet a client
-teach a class

5 Little things:
- go get the mail
- make supper
- load and unload the dishwasher, do a load of laundry, etc.
- finish reading that article I started last week
- clean the bathroom

Disclaimer: Sometimes my 1 Big Kahuna is to take a nap without feeling guilty :) 

Because you have helped me so much in my journey of creativity,  I wanted to say thank you by sharing this, I hope it helps you get organized as much as it has helped me!

M.

Awesome Adventures.

I fly away to China in a few days (!!)  and I am expecting Awesome Adventures.  I can't wait. I'm nervous and excited and full of anxiety. It is going to be amazing, right?.  It is freaking scary. I am a bundle of nerves and excitement.

I made this print to encourage myself- thought maybe it would encourage you too... are you up for any awesome adventures?

Let's go have awesome adventures!!
What's on your agenda for the day, the month, the year?

My first adventure of the day is to get showered and outta my house- seriously, all adventures aren't necessarily huge- some are just ordinary and awesome in their own way :)
