Personal post alert 🚨

In the year since I’ve been posting here, a lot of Life has happened.

Mainly, I lost my dad. I took it really hard and doing anything other than try to sleep, eat, and drink enough water was out of the question for a while.

The year also brought:
🦵my second knee surgery and full recovery
🙏 a five-month leave from work to focus on my wellbeing
🤓 a new role at work when I returned
🦴a puppy
💍 a girlfriend-to-fiancée upgrade

Now, life is finally settling and I’ve been following the creative itch again. It’s never too late to start and restart again.

My perfectionism kept me from getting active here again because the longer it had been, the more I felt like I had to come back “bigger and better” than ever. But that’s a lie we tell ourselves when we’re anxious, intimidated, or otherwise facing negative feelings and uncertainty.

So I decided to just start again. If this resonates with you, know that it’s ok for life to take you elsewhere for a while. It’s ok to rest and heal however you see fit. It’s ok to not adhere to the rigid Social Media Rules of how many posts you should be creating, how many accounts to connect with, etc.

You do you, my friend! 🤗

New design for women’s history month! 💃🏼💪✨

It’s been a while 🥺 personal post to come. But in the meantime, we just launched the Speak Your Genius line for 🙌

This design comes on organic cotton tote bags and cropped hoodies and sweatshirts of various colors. More to come as we see the response from this initial launch!

Celebrate women’s voices, women’s empowerment, and women’s genius. 💯

It’s finally here!! 🎉

The 2022 Life Priority Planner is listed on the shop for $34 with free US shipping.

I’ve been having supply issues, but we finally have enough to get things rolling… Each planner is printed and hand-bound by me, made to order.

If you’d rather get to planning right away and want to print the pages yourself, there’s a digital version for $4.99.

Happy New Year, and happy planning! 🥰

Are you looking for your next planner? 👀

The digital 2022 and undated versions of the Life Priority planner just went up on the shop!

The undated planner comes with 12 monthly spreads and 52 weekly spreads to allow you to drop in and out as you please, while the 2022 planner has a month spread, month goals, and weekly spreads for each month.

For both planners, you can choose either a horizontal or vertical weekly spread.

I wanted to give you something with a lot of flexibility that still keeps all the features from last year that make it great. I hope you love it.

(Oh, and if you prefer buying a physical planner… stay tuned 🤐)

Feeling witchy this Halloween season?

This sticker has a reflective mirrored background, making it a fun addition to your laptop, water bottle, notebook, or wherever else you stick your stickers.

The reality of running a side business: spending 40 minutes near tears trying to print the address and postage correctly on an envelope, then looking over at my workstation like 😍omg look at my cute lil things in my cute lil corner😍

So much of the little stuff gets frustrating, especially when I have to juggle my shop with my full-time job and can’t get caught up in printer BS if I want to get to the important stuff. But it’s incredible to look up and remind myself that I built this little shop over the last year and it’s just… so dang fun.

My lessons today:
> Never let it stop being fun.
> Shamelessly swoon over what you make when the little stuff sucks.
> Printers and printer software were invented by Satan himself, so don’t let it consume you.

What makes you fall in love with the life you’ve built?

HOW A SHIRT HAPPENS >>

1. Whiteboard sketch. My whiteboard is my most-used tool for my shop. I like to quickly get my ideas out and work with them in a low-stakes way.

2. Digital drawing. I take a photo of my sketch and use it as a reference image in Procreate on my iPad. This is where I work out the details (like angling every teeny lil pumpkin 😆).

3. Shirt! I order a sample from my printer with my drawing on it. I can control the placement and size of my drawing to make sure it looks just right.

Pumpkin spice is ✨life✨
