The Torn Edges of Life Are Beautiful
Mixing the bits and pieces of art and life
![]() With over 40 different notebook designs I often wonder if buyers know where each design is drawn from. The inspiration for the covers of my notebooks all come from real original artwork. This particular piece I designed for my home and hangs in my living room. Some of my original art is for sale and can be purchased via Etsy and others I keep for me! Below you will see the notebook cover designed from the original as seen in the photo to the left.

![]() Oh my goodness, these are sooooo cool! Some of my designs are now available as wall murals! This is seriously insane. Right now there is a limited amount of designs available but more will be coming soon as time allows. So, if you have a giant wall and want a mural check these out by clicking HERE. ![]() I have always believed that being kind should be a natural reflex. I somewhat don't understand the kindness movement. As humans, for me, it's just something that should be done. Kindness is an extension of love. Kindness is something that is free to give and it is as simple as holding the door open for someone. When humanity loses the art of being kind, we are in trouble. I believe kindness starts at home and we should be teaching our children right from the start to be kind and respectful of others. This behaviour should be modelled at home. If we are not kind to each other at home how do our kids learn to be kind. To purchase an unframed print click here. To purchase a framed print click here. Below is a little time-lapse of how the art on the left came to be. Kindness Matters. ![]() Express your life's journey in this durable and pretty lined notebook available through my Etsy shop. ![]() Mother’s Day is coming up! Don’t forget to thank your Mom for loving you especially at the times you weren’t so lovable. 😉 Mother's Day cards are available here. ![]() Sometimes people thinking journaling gratitude is a daunting task when really it's simply looking at the little things in life. Take the latte art created on my tea latte today. It's a perfectly shaped heart, rich in colour, textured and full. True art! It brought a smile to my face and almost made me not want to sip my latte. That little gesture whether part of their business model or not brought a smile to my face. I loved it. I was so grateful for that moment so I did what most people do in this day and age, I documented it. How fabulous is it that we can document our moments and leave a legacy behind? To me, it's amazing and again, fills me with gratitude. ![]() Have you ever dreamt of flying well above the rooftops in a hot air balloon? Soaring through blue skies, maybe watching a sunset? Let this birthday card help you imagine adventures far away. ![]() Add a punch of colour to your white couch with this fun and colourful floral pillow. This design comes in a variety of other products as well but I love both the throw pillows and floor pillows. ![]() Just be YOU is a coming of age piece I created for pre-teens. The message totally fits for all ages though as I know many in their 40s who struggle with this. Many people will have opinions on how you should dress, behave, what to say and what not to say. YOU know YOU best. YOU know your thoughts, your hopes and your dreams. Make YOUR hopes and dreams a reality. Don’t let the judgment of others dampen your spirit. Just be YOU! This image is available in my Etsy shop as a print and a lined page notebook. ![]() Having hope is essential to thrive and move forward with life. Without hope one can feel eternally lost. I have always been a very hopeful person. I have also been a very grateful person. I have never lost sight of the little things that could have been so much worse. I feel with gratitude and the practice of gratitude there will always be hope. When you start becoming grateful for the little things in your daily life you can learn be grateful for the more difficult moments. It is from those difficult moments that true gratitude and hope will shine. This design was fun to create ~ as you can see from the little video below. This design is available as an art print or as a gratitude journal. |
