Hi friends, and happy June! Summer officially begins later this month. 🌻
I know that it’s no longer the beginning of the month. But better late than never, right? Haha.
May was a pretty good month for me. Not much happened, but my mental health was definitely better than it has been.
Praying that my mental health continues to improve. 🙏
I hope May was a good month for you, and I hope June is even better!
But anyway, here’s another look at my life and art lately!

Recent artwork:
- Tbh, I haven’t been creating as much art as I’d like to lately. But I did make these Powerpuff Girls magnets and this X-Files painting. They should be listed in my Etsy shop soon if you’re interested! 🙈
Things I’m loving lately:
- I just finished Stieg Larrson’s Millenium trilogy and I loved it! They’re great mysteries and I’m debating on whether or not I want to read the other books in the series, even though they weren’t written by the same author.
- I recently bought (and watched) a Halloweentown 1 & 2 DVD. These were my absolute FAVORITE Halloween movies as a kid and I still love them so much! The nostalgia and Halloween vibes are real. 🧡
- I know this is super random but I also got a pack of exfoliating bath cloths and I don’t regret it, haha. They feel so good and I also feel so clean after using them!
Blog + life news:
- I was originally planning to write a sort of self-help book about anxiety. I had so much planned out with it, but something in my heart told me that it wasn’t time to write that yet. I felt like I should try my hand at fiction writing instead.
I actually have 3 full ideas for fiction novels that I’d love to write. I’ve been planning my first one and I’m so excited about this passion project for me! I’ve always loved writing, ever since I learned how to. My father has also always encouraged me to write a full novel and he’s happy I’m going through with it, haha. 😊 - I’m still one of Google’s paid early testers for their Thank with Google pilot program and it’s been so much fun! It’s an expressive way for my readers to show their support and appreciation for my work, by sending me virtual stickers. You can send these stickers by clicking the button that says “Thanks” at the top of my blog posts.
Thank with Google gives my audience the chance to share which content they value the most and why, by attaching a personal note with a paid virtual sticker that is sent directly to me. I love this because it means that I can see which content is liked most, and I can create more content like that! I also love reading the notes that people send. 💜
What’s been going on with you lately? How was May for you? Let’s chat in the comments!

I love your art. You’re so talented! I love to write as well and have several completed books but I haven’t done anything with them.
Your art is very adorable! I will be checking out your etsy account!
I love sunflowers. Those are pretty photos of the sunflowers.
You are so talented. The Google program sounds like a lot of fun.
Stieg Larsson is SO good! The Millennium trilogy is part of my backlog, I had read up through maybe half of The Girl Who Played With Fire and was loving it, put it down for whatever reason (five years ago) and didn’t get around to finishing it. I have a problem with making it through my backlog because I keep falling onto reading old favorites, so every year I make my way through some Holly Black comfort reads… I just love her world weaving.
You are so driven and talented! What genre would you say your most favored fiction idea falls under?
You are so wonderful and so talented! I am absolutely inlove with your artwork!
Oh wow, congrats on the google pilot scheme. That sounds interesting. I bet you had some great notes.
Love the sunflowers, they are my favorite plant. The I want to believe magnet is right up my husbands alley, I have that same image(or very similar) on a poster for him now!
I love checking out artists and their small business. Thanks for sharing your Etsy site!
I’m glad that May went well with you, and I hope June is even better! Writing a novel is exciting, I can’t even imagine doing that.
Thank you for sharing your life updates. So many good things have happened to you. I love your artwork.
I love all your life updates. I believe that so many things have happened to you and your artwork is so lovely too.
I think that during summer we all feel better! Out mental health has only benefits during the warm season!
May month was an action-packed month for me! Those Powerpuff Girls magnets look so cute 😍 Love your artwork ❤️
Glad to hear that things are going well. I love this time of year, and the summer weather makes me feel better. I’d love to read that book (and then see the movie).
