October Around the Web

Happy Halloween, friends! This October was extra special because we were able to celebrate my sister Sophie’s engagement, she found her wedding dress and she had a birthday! Dale also turned 29 this month and despite being on a busy rotation at work we celebrated with Minsky’s and a fire pit night. We also fit in lots of traditional October things with a visit to Weston to pick apples and pumpkins, we went to Louisberg Cider Mill and watched both the Presidential and Vice Presidential Debates on our outdoor projector. Last night we topped it all off by watching Hocus Pocus with a few friends. We’ve made the most of this extra strange spooky season! Here are a few of my favorite’s this month:

• My dream bathroom from Sarah Sherman Samuel! Saving for someday…

• A lovely article for this season

• I always love pink and green!

• Otto definitely doesn’t NEED this but I really think he would love it…

• Saving these Halloween costumes for any future children: Madeline and Plants!

• A cute Fall/Halloween DIY

• I don’t bake often but maybe next Halloween I’ll give this cake a try!

• Always daydreaming about future travels…

• A new favorite follow on Instagram

• Trying to feel hopeful about the impending election.

Let’s vote for change, friends!

Halloween Card for Hallmark

Halloween may look different this year but there is still plenty of time to send a few cards to family and friends! Or drop off some candy and a card to your relatives or neighbors! I loved seeing my lettering and illustration used on this card for Hallmark:

Rise up. Show up. Unite.

Friends, I shared this lettering on Instagram last week as part of the #riseupshowupunite campaign started by Jessica Hische. I am proud to be supporting @joebiden & @kamalaharris. While I truly believe voting is important every year, this year it is absolutely necessary. I will be casting my vote for women, the urgent need to address climate change, my LGBTQIA friends, those I know working to fight this pandemic every day, and for the hope that better leadership can help bring us together. Check your registration and make a plan to vote. I’m ready to rise up, show up & unite!

Halloween Paper Wonder!!

Spooky season has arrived and one of my favorite cards EVER is now in stores and online! I created the illustration and lettering for this Halloween Paper Wonder in collaboration with designer Claire Darnell and art director Lisa Hadley. It lights up and plays music and is bringing me lots of joy as Halloween approaches! I’m sending a few to family and friends this week.
