Hi Love.

I've been trying to stretch myself this week with my skillz and this is what popped out two days ago.

I really like it, and think i'm going to expand this style and draw a few more new cards. 

What do you think?

I need to Trust...

My amazing friend Kimberly asked me to draw some doodles for her blog and she posted the first one with my doodle in it! I'm super excited! But even more importantly, i NEEDED to hear what she had to say on this blog post the day she e-mailed it to me. Amazingly, she NEEDED to hear what i had to draw when i sent her my doodle. :) 

Life is good.

God is good. 

The internet is awesome! 

[that's how Kimberly and I met] 

I hope you're having an encouraging day! 

Make sure to check out Kimberly's blog when you get a chance too!

Smiles,

Hello Lily Love

Say hello to Lily Love.

She is sweet and shy and loves quiet days and freshly bloomed flowers.

Today's drawing is actually a draw/painting! I'm super excited that i was FINALLY inspired today to work.

And now only to work, but to paint!! :) 

HOORAY!

YOU are BEAUTIFUL. #truth

I hate that i need to remind myself of this.

That i don't just.... know i am beautiful.

It breaks my heart how many amazingly lovely people i know who don't know this either.

Pass this on to them.

Remind yourself of it today.

You ARE Beautiful. I promise.

Much love,

Jenipher

I wish you JOY!

Happy Wednesday! :)

Why is it SO hard?

This morning i woke up quite anxious.... i have SO MUCH trouble with being in the 'NOW'. I'm always thinking about what i have to get done...what i 'need to do better'... where i 'wish i was' with my business/life/whatever... 

but honestly, my WHOLE heart knows i AM where i NEED to BE. After spending an hour taming my brain, i know what tomorrow's doodle is going to be. I feel a little more peace knowing i am where i need to be.

I hope you do too!

it's OKAY to NOT know.

Okay friends.... REMIND YOURSELF of this.

Now.

and Now.

and NOW.

Sappy Doodle Friday!

Sappy Doodle time!! It was SURE to happen SOME TIME while doodling everyday. :)

Happy Friday friends!!

We are WAY 2 AWESOME to fail!

After being SUPER inspired by my friend Tiffany 

[aka: PumpkinPyeBoutique] i doodled this doodle in honor of her. [and because she's the one who said it] ;)

After the AMAZING support of those who say it on Facebook, i decided it had to be 1st in line to color today. I think it looks pretty darn snazzy if i do say so myself!

What do you think?

Empowered BY you,friends.

May Life Serve You CHEESE!

I have a really 'cheesy' picture of my boyfriend and i on my Facebook profile. I'm in love with this photo, as it's SO CUTE!  One of my friends, Tim, said this to me as a comment below the photo and i knew it had to be my next colored drawing.

It rings true for so many things for me. I love cheesy; photos, jokes, dancing, etc etc... and i [truly] hope, i have a lifetime of the finest cheese. 

 

In case you wanted to see it ^^^ Here it is. Cheeeeesey! I love it!

Hope you have an inspired cheese flavored day!

If i could just STOP caring when others thought..

Gertie's here again today to speak truths from MY heart. I struggle with this more than i even realize. Weather the thoughts are coming from my family, my friends, or even strangers i come across on a daily basis. It's so hard to break this...but slowly i am learning to just. be. me.

Does anyone feel this way too?

Things can mess up...

At Skyline City Church yesterday Pastor Jake said this during his message and i found it to be SO true in so many senses. This is also one of the few doodles, i haven't redrawn before coloring it. 

This means it took me quite a bit longer to 'fix it up' since it was pretty roughly drawn, but i really like how it came out. :)

 Have an inspiring day friends!

Meet Gertie. :)

Meet Gertie. The newest addition to the Nightly Doodles Family. She's sweet, funky, and knows EXACTLY who she is...at least until puberty.

Forever With You.

I'm super sappy these days. But really, i always have been. This is another one of 'those doodles' that i actually drew at the auction before i moved to NY, but didn't color it until yesterday. :)

I REALLY like it!

I'm starting to REALLY LOVE these simplistic, colorless back round doodles. They make me super happy. 

I think later today I'm going to draw more simple doodles.

Is there anything you'd like me to doodle?

Happy Thursday!

My head is like a jukebox. It jumps from song to song to song with absolutely NO correlation!

Last night's song was by Meatloaf. Remember him? :)

Have a musical day!

What book is SUPER popular on the subway?

Now that i kinda consider myself a 'connoisseur' of the subway -- hey! i gave someone directions today!? 

Okay, I'm not. 

I'm totally lying.

BUT, i can tell you that in the past week, i've sat next to TWO different folks reading the 'Great Gatsby'. Being the nosy person i am, i started [reading] this guys book while on my journey to the city today and realized how VISUALLY written this book is.

Captivated, i knew i wanted to draw a quote from the book. This ^^ grabbed my attention and now, here lies today's 'nightly doodle'. 

Enjoy!
