Happy Monday!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend… I know that I sure did!! Today’s post is a way for me to get out my inner creativity with my latest obsession: handwritten things!  Ever since the summer camp I helped out with, calligraphy and beautiful handwritten words have just been on the brain… Probably because the speaker that I had the privilege of listening to was the husband of Lindsay from Lindsay’s Letters. Super cool, right?!

After I ooed and ahhed over the fact that I have been obsessed with her work for quite some time, a good friend of mine said, “Lauren, you can do that too.  Did you see all of the chalkboards at your wedding that you wrote on?!”

I was so humbled, and felt so honored to be compared to such a wonderful artist, though I must admit, I tend to disagree!!  Either way, that conversation took me into it, and I have been OBSESSED ever since!! I practice my writing almost everyday because it’s a way for me to unload and it’s actually pretty therapeutic.  So I figured this would be a great place to share some of my latest endeavors!!  Enjoy!!

 

Some of the paintings I’ve done recently…
This morning’s practice for addressing envelopes!

This may or may not become a weekly thing… it probably depends on how much I get done!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
