I hope you’re doing OK. It’s summer here, and I’m taking things a little slower—still working most days, just with more sunshine breaks sprinkled in. I’m usually over on Instagram if you’d like to reach out and say hi; I love hearing from you there.
A little updates:
Snow School is a brand-new display-in-a-day set designed to help you quickly create a bulletin board or classroom door welcome. You can print all the pieces or just the ones you need from the editable PowerPoint or the PDF. It includes snowflakes, snowballs, a cozy winter school, snow bunnies, stars, and hearts, all with a soft crayon texture. My hope is that it inspires students to draw their own snowy shapes and designs too ❄️
I’ve also been getting lots of questions about the pens I use for drawing reels and sketchbook work on Instagram, so I shared all the details here if you’re curious:

I’ve been sketching every day in January so far—very unstructured, quick, and without overthinking—and it’s been genuinely delightful. Moths, bunnies, fairies, penguins, songbirds, winter cottages, rainbows, beach play, starfish, frogs, apples, swirls… a bit of everything. Showing up for a more structured drawing or doodle challenge most days in 2025 has really helped my confidence and flow more than I expected.
And one last little note: there’s a January calendar page waiting for you in the Pond Coloring Club. I know how much you loved these back in 2022, so I’m bringing them back 💛
Thanks for being here, and for always popping by!
