A New Addiction

Confession time: in the clutter that is my mind, there is a special storage space for FONTS! Yes, you heard me correctly, out of all of the important things I could should be using my brain for, I have chosen to keep a little nook, just a small corner, dedicated to my love of fonts. Lately, I have found myself watching commercials, looking at billboards or reading some of my favorite online "news" and wondering, "What IS that font? I MUST have it!" Then the wheels start turning, I start imagining all of the uses for all of the new fonts I simply must add to my collection. My love for the written word has transformed into something dangerous, an addiction. And so it begins, a brand new addiction, healthier than some, but equally time consuming and frustrating when I can't find my "fix".  Here are a few of my favorites. ENJOY!

A Girl Needs Shade on a Day Like This!

Just FYI, it's been 100 degrees with about 400% humidity for right around two weeks. In case you are wondering NO this is not "normal" for our part of the country (the Midwest - in case one of "my four" doesn't know). The heat, along with being trapped inside with ornery CURIOUS one year old boys got me thinking about the outdoors and how much I am currently longing to bask in sunlight without suffering a 3rd degree burn. Which, in turn, got me thinking about one of my favorite activities EVER, a nice sunny stroll through the trees. It's when I am walking with nature that I feel the most at peace, at peace with myself, at peace with the world around me and at peace with my spirituality. There is just something about hearing the trees whisper to each other while feeling the sun kiss my shoulders that let's me KNOW that there is something more, something bigger, something to explain all of this. Those thoughts of peace, stillness and the feeling of cool grass between my toes inspired the following print. ENJOY!
