Happy T-day to all my US friends!! Just a quick little hello today since I'm still working on K's Advent Calendar and tying up a few other fun projects. Today, K and I had a leisurely Thanksgiving brunch, strolled around Greenlake, and now we're getting ready to go out for our annual Taiwanese family dinner at this delicious restaurant. I have given up trying to be "normal" in any way, shape or form and love love love how stress-free our holidays have been these past few years. Also! I ... Read more

Holiday Tags + Wrapping Paper Designs Round-Up
Hello, hello! In an unprecedented display of organization, I've managed to get all of my holiday preparations done well in advance of the big Christmas day. This feat required some hustling on my part, and I paid the price by getting a teensy weensy bit sick. I'm almost 100% but I was pretty sniffly there for a few days.

Let's talk about this year's advent calendar shall we? I'm quite proud of this one. About five years ... Read more

I'm trying something new today...a download! Or, downloads, to be exact. I was doodling with my favorite gouache paints, and thought these illustrations might make some usable holiday tags -- what do you think? If you do end up downloading, let me know if anything goes wonky, yes? I printed them up on thicker inkjet paper, and I love them! Here are close-ups of the animal tags: The ones you see above are more Xmas-y and I am especially fond of the deer and the scarf-clad fox. ... Read more
2020 Free Holiday Printables
Hello, hello! I am, as ever, a creature of habit: the annual Advent calendar (this year's is my absolute favorite to date, by the way), the monthly blog posts, and all the other various habits I've cultivated over the years that I uphold with a Pit Bull determination. For the month of December, I created some cute holiday tags and print-at-home goodness for my Patreon members and then remembered that I normally offer up free printables here on the blog during this season. So I started ... Read more
