Have a few (hundred) presents to wrap? Me too. Check out this super quick method. It kind of blew my mind while watching. I have yet to try it yet…

Still need more gift tags? I love these graphic ones from the talented Jessica Keala and this set for those deer to you from Simple As That.

Even though I’m currently deep in spinning my Mannheim Steamroller B-side tracks, I love finding out about new music. A great place for this is on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. One of my recent faves is from John Paul White (half of The Civil Wars).

Stumbled upon this amazing site dedicated to female professional illustrators that I can’t seem to stop perusing. In the new year I would like to make a conscious effort to illustrate more in my (cough) free time. I grew up drawing and painting and would like to get back to it.
