Being caught up in the distractions of my to-do lists, errands and chores has been the quickest way to miss those "golden moments". I have started to make a point of observing them more. To really see them. Taking in all the details....

Today, I thought I'd talk about how I started brush lettering and share a few links that helped me when I was starting out. My lettering started with playing around with digitising my handwriting, and incorporating it into my pocket page digital designs. ...
