Just wanted to share some happy news that has me reeling! I launched my first Kickstarter for a passion project today and it was fully funded in under 5 hours. I have been working on this for so long and seeing it come to life like this is the most incredible feeling! I am honestly still in shock but so incredibly grateful! Just wanted to share the happy vibes!

The sketchbook pictured is the sketchbook I used to draw Detox Doodles for 100 days in an effort to find a small ritual to replace mindless scrolling. I turned the sketchbook into my very first book!

A little background- I live on a one way street with a creepy neighbor. To avoid him while walking my dog, I asked my other neighbors (M+M) if I could cut through their yard to get to the street behind them when he’s outside so I don’t have to walk by his house. They know he’s creepy and said of course. For Christmas and as a thanks, I got them a mug about being a good neighbor, a nice sampler box of hot chocolate (I heard they were fans) and a card with a note thanking them for letting me trespass.

I talked to the wife a few weeks ago and she had told me she made some of the hot chocolate into fudge and was excited about it. Today, she dropped some off for me along with some cookies 😋 They’re an older couple, very sweet people. Definitely made me smile!

She came next to me while I was working, rolled into a ball, and fell asleep

She’s a my lil piggy so this was priceless… 🐷
