Today I'm feeling incredibly nostalgic, slightly anxious, a little overwhelmed, scared and hopeful. This weekend I ate a lot of pickles and found my sketchbook from the first art class I ever took. It's the class that I reference and remember most when I am doing anything creative. My teacher was so good too. Then I found a letter from my Granny. She sent it while I was in my first semester of college. A simple note with a much-needed $20 bill inside. She used to do really cute things like send me care packages and email me to say "Happy Easter". She also hooked me up with a huge back of quarters for the laundry machines. Man I miss her!
I've decided to stop doing custom designs for awhile now. I'll be finishing up my current client load and then will start working on pre-made templates that are still customizable, just not totally customizable. I have a lot of fun doing blog design work but it's been so hard for me to keep up with everything (especially time management) and that's simply not fair to my clients. I have some really cool and talented friends who do custom blog designs so send me an email so I can get you hooked up with them! I'm also taking requests for themes to build the pre-made designs around. I'll probably sell them for $50-$60 each and limit the design to 2-3 clients..perfect for anyone who wanted design work but needed something a little more budget-friendly : )
How was your weekend? How is this new season in your life? Everything is changing around me, and not just the weather. It's best not to stay too comfortable though, huh?

Those pictures of your sketch book are so lovely. It's nice to see colour laid out so beautifully.
Happy October! I hope yours is full of candy and fancy dress <3
Fun, I love going through old artwork of mine from college and high school too :)
Your granny sounded like an incredible lady who loved you a lot. No wonder you miss her so much.
Don't be scared, Pretty Melanie, forage on!
Over the weekend I found an entire box filled with stuff from my freshmen year of high school. I got very nostalgic too! It's crazy how fast the years go by!
Change can be so good :) love going through old boxes of my stuff.

I need to get back on track with priorities too. Life is crashing down on me right now, it seems. How lovely is your sketchbook? I can see why it's nostalgic, it very whimsical too. Your such a crazy talented lady, and what a sweet granny. I miss mine too!
