Hey, hey everyone!
Here are the things I'm thinking about as the month of April arrives:
The bare trees of winter are blooming again...TADA! Cherry blossoms and almond blossoms are always a sight to behold and I never take this miracle of new beginnings for granted.
I read somewhere that, "You're never too old to read a children's book," that's why I'm never shy to borrow one from the library. This book, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, is a classic. Now that it's springtime and the trees are starting to grow their leaves, I thought it was a good opportunity to re-read it. The illustrations are simple but the story profound. It's about a boy and his relationship with a tree -- how the tree generously provided in every stage of the boy's life. Have you read this book?
The arrival of flowers also mean the arrival of butterflies. I love butterflies and butterfly crafts like this bookmark will keep me inspired this season.
Look how cute they look in between pages...TADA! Other options include a butterfly paper weight, a butterfly wall hanging, or a butterfly cupcake stencil.
Do you have impostor syndrome? I honestly have bouts of it and I'm finding different ways to overcome it. Here is a lovely read about impostor syndrome.
If you want to participate in something creative where you'll get fresh ideas on how to use your sketchbook, I highly recommend Sketchbook Revival. It's fun and it's free!
UPDATE: I've been participating in the Sketchbook Revival every year. It's usually done in the Spring (and I always block it off in my calendar). But this year, Sketchbook Revival will happen in the fall:
I'm very sorry for the confusion! But here are photos from past sessions:

| Doodle Blobs with Mike Lowery |

| Doodle Journaling with Karen Abend |
Maybe these will spark some ideas for you to start a sketchbook or fill one that you already have...TADA!
