One of my favorite things about the holidays is wrapping all the presents. It is so much fun to pick out the wrapping paper! And obviously, designing my own is even better 😉. (And if you didn't catch it yesterday, I launched my new collection of 2020 holiday wrapping paper designs on Minted.) I also love finding the perfect ribbons and gift tags to go with that special paper. These are some of my favorite gift tags that I designed last year. Anyone else love wrapping as much as I do? 📷 photo cred: @lifecreated 
It is wrapping paper time! If you know me, I am obsessed with wrapping paper and even more obsessed with designing it. That is why I am so excited to share that I have launched some new designs on @Minted, and they are available today. 🎉 You might even recognize the graphic holiday floral pattern design that I shared yesterday. Which one is your favorite? The hand-painted trees one or one of the more modern designs? 🌲❤️ Link to my shop in my profile. You'll also find a link to get a one-time 25% off code for Minted. Excited to see what designs you pick to wrap your presents this year. 
The holidays will be different this year, and that's okay. I think it gives us the opportunity to start new traditions even if they are small ones. But one thing for me that won't change is getting in the holiday spirit and creating new holiday-inspired designs. Though, if I'm completely honest, as a designer, I am sometimes creating Christmas and holiday designs throughout the year. And other times I can transform a past design and give it that holiday flair by just changing up the colors. What color version is your favorite? 
Do you sometimes forget to make time to acknowledge an accomplishment before moving on to pursue the next? Guilty! Like I'm extremely guilty of this. I seem to forget everything I've accomplished and have to remind myself to slow down and really take a look at everything that I've done. Sometimes it helps to look through my old files and photos just to jog my memory on all the amazing things I've done. On the flip side, sometimes it seems the period between one amazing design project and the next might drag on forever! But the way to a fulfilling life is to remember that there is always something to celebrate – like an exciting idea, an inspiring new passion project, doing a little creative project with my daughter, or a refreshing walk on a beautiful sunny day! So today, I am celebrating all the amazing brand projects that I've worked on this year and the last 11 years. What can you celebrate today? ✨📷 cred: @lifecreated 
Happy Birthday to me! Celebrating things has been so different this year, but it hasn't stopped me from appreciating all the little things. And one of the things I love about birthdays are the birthday desserts. You can't go wrong with cake and what I look forward to every year for my birthday is a chocolate marble cheesecake. My dad has been making this homemade cheesecake for me for as long as I can remember, and I can't wait for a bite of it! What's your favorite birthday dessert?

Fill in the blank: You can never have too many __________. For me, the answer is notebooks or sketchbooks. Who knows how long I've been obsessed, but I am constantly adding to my ever-growing collection! I've only recently started actually using ones in my collection because I've gotten over the silly fear of needing to have whatever I put in them to be "perfect." I know it sounds ridiculous, but some of these notebooks were "too pretty" to use. Even though that is what they are made for. We can just add this to one of my weird quirks. But buying a new notebook/sketchbook brings me joy, and so does designing them. I love seeing my designs on covers, and these fall floral patterns are some of my favorites. Anyone else out there have a collection that brings you joy? Or anyone else as crazy as me and saves notebooks waiting for just the perfect thing to use them for? 
Throwing it back to Zoey's first Halloween when I dressed her up like a cactus 🌵💕 And she is laying on one of my favorite blankets I designed and of course, it has a cactus pattern. This cactus obsession runs deep. Are you or your kids dressing up for Halloween this year?
