a talented book worker gifted me this beautiful little notebook to document my recent family vacation.  here are some of my favorite pages/ memories from the trip.  pen + colored pencil on perfectly textured paper

a call from my subconcious via paper plate.  oh, to live in the woods! sharpie

dv valentine

the domestic violence hotline was kind enough to provide some craft supplies for making valentines.  this is what i made.  for all the broken harts.  happy valentine's day!  pen + colored pencil on doily.

forest dreams

this doodle reminds me of a sunny forest, which is someplace i'd like to live.  pen + colored pencil.

simple like a post-it.  pen

hart tree

this is a jolly little hart tree i drew with oil pastels on a piece of cardboard with a hole in it.  i like to imagine that some adorable forest creature will poke its head of that hole at any second and grab a hart.
