Fall fashion and fall outfits are all the craze right now.
I can't get on Pinterest without pinning a few (or more) outfits that totally grab my attention. I quickly begin to take mental notes for how I want to dress this season. I've illustrated a few of the most coveted looks for fall, here is the first blog for the first outfit. I've also added links where you can find my artwork and the items that inspired me. Stay tuned for more. xxx

​Yesterday October, 11, 2017 I posted a video to Instagram with the quote above and pictures of illustrations I've created.  Here is my connection to this particular quote and my connection to the Day of the Girl.

My first giveaway was in March when I opened my Etsy shop and I think it's about time for another! Fall products have arrived in my shop and more are still to come. So as a new season sneaks up on us here are the rules for this giveaway.

​The only rule for this giveaway is...
1. sign up for my newsletter! that's it :)

For those of you who haven't been following my journey for long, I am relatively new to the Etsy scene. And very new to selling my work at all. I opened my shop in March, after months of preparation and fear took up my time. 

I create illustrations and paintings, using both a traditional and digital approach, and color them with either Copic Markers, Winsor & Newton ProMarkers, and a variety of paints. My favorites are watercolors, from either Redwood Willow, Winsor & Newton or Japanese brand, Kuretake Gansai Tambi. 

It isn't difficult to open a shop. But I wanted it to be perfect so I tried very hard to make sure that it was. With just the right amount of products, great product descriptions and a beautiful cover image, among other things.
