Give me some gel pens, a warm drink, and a Vince Guaraldi album and I might disappear for a few hours. 😂 hosted a holiday card exchange in her lovely membership, The Drawn Together Society, which gave me a perfect reason to sit down and draw out these wintry scenes. 🎄❄️🦌 It's been fun sending and receiving a few cards this season. How about you; any Christmas crafts sprawled across your dining table at the moment?

Shoutout to , who letterpress printed the stunning red botanical notebook in the background of this photo. The design is called "American Victorian," and is based on a decorated endpaper from around 1885 (link in stories). I love this notebook and sooo much of their stunning work.

STL FRIENDS: My individual pavilion prints are all 25% off through next Tuesday! First time doing a sale like this for my last-minute gifters (I see you, I feel you). Mark the order as local pickup, and it'll be ready for you within 24 hours. Porch pickup in University City.

The iconic Turkish Pavilion is one of my absolute favorites. This was the very first pavilion I sketched out and painted in this series back in 2019, before I started my art business. 💕

Do you have any special memories where this pavilion served as the backdrop? Or do you drive/ride your bike/walk your dog past it every day?

Some closeups of my mini desktop calendar 2026: Odd months; even months, unboxed, and boxed.🧚‍♀️

It's been fun to package these up and send them all over the country these past few weeks! I love knowing that these are going to brighten someone's desktop for the next year. If you want to snag one, they're up in my Etsy and web shop, and locally available at Union Studio in Webster Groves. ❤️

That's a wrap on ! Thank you to everyone who joined us for these prompts! It's such a joy to see everyone's unique creative style and voice come through. I learned quite a bit along the way, and more importantly, broke my non-posting streak here. 😆 I hope to keep the momentum going!

It's been snowing for a few days here, and all of the snow, along with closing out this challenge, feels like a fitting transition from autumn into winter. 🍁❄️

If you'd like to put together a grid of your posts, you can find a a couple of templates in my bio links. 💛

Thank you to my wonderful friends and co-hosts .illustration You all are magical! ❤️

Cheervember prompt 9: Birds + Blooms 🕊️

Thank you for following along with me here! I'm grateful to my co-hosts for putting together this art challenge and to everyone who participated or cheered us on along the way. It was fun to experiment with the idea of designing some letterpress!

This sketch was originally one I made over the summer and recreated today to round out the challenge - - it was too fitting not to use!

Huge thanks to these inspiring friends:

Cheervember prompt 7: Sharing + Caring. I love a good handwritten note, letter, or postcard. I wish I were better at sending them myself; maybe a good New Year's resolution? ❤️

Cheervember prompt 5: Baking + Making

I wanted to take a quick little sketch and mock it up into a recipe card, and oh boy, did it take me ages to put into this mockup design! 😅 I'm sharing my inspiration in the slides that follow; some of my Mom's recipe cards that I was looking at with her awhile back. They're just so cute. 🥰

Shoutout to my co-hosts for this challenge. Just 4 more prompts to go, and it's not too late if you feel like jumping in. 🤎
