Hi! So here we are at the end of March. January was the longest month ever and then February and March basically didn’t exist - anyone else feel this? Spring is officially here (even though it doesn’t necessarily feel it)… I’m SO ready to pack away the winter gear!! With Spring on my mind… above is my MARCH MOOD(board).
“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable because that is how you grow”. I see Spring as a time to grow… maybe it’s the flowers beginning to bloom or being a spring baby…but I’m trying to embrace the new, the change, the uncomfortable (and FYI it’s not so easy). If you’re feeling the same - you got this!!
… and now here are a few specific things I am really into right now:
What I’m reading …
Romantic Comedy
In this month’s Book Club I’m recommending Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld… finally a book I couldn’t put down! Okay - so it was a little slow to get into… but part 2 and 3 = 👌. I love to read before bed (best last thing to do right before sleep - I promise!) but this book I would find myself wanting to read all the time and I would sneak away and read.
I’m making …
Pinterest Collages
Every newsletter I create a collage to start it off. I create these in a design software called Adobe Illustrator but did you know you can make super easy (and I mean SUPER EASY) collages in Pinterest? I’ve been choosing making over scrolling lately, and have been making a conscious effort to try and create instead of doom scrolling. Here are a few of my most recent collages - how fun? I recommend trying it.
I’m eating …
Canadian Snacks and Staples
I feel a lot of us are more aware than ever about where what we are consuming is coming from. I did a quick search of my pantry and fridge and I was amazed by how many of my favourite snacks and go-to staples are Canadian so I wanted to share! What are some of your Canadian faves?
ICYMI -
I made super cute valentine's day cards with my boys. I spoke to design students at Humber College (first time!) I was on set for a few prop styling jobs where I found myself shooting confetti cannons and making it rain money (literally) all day and I’ve also been creating some throwback sticker reels - just for fun (more from this series to come)! … and my website is up and running with STICKER CLUB tab where you can buy sticker collage kits, sticker books, stickers off the roll and all the other fun sticker stuff! Happy sticker shopping (+ more will be uploaded this month too!)
