Fabulos AND flawed!!

My beautiful, wonderful friend posted this on her Facebook last night and it was WAY TOO TRUE not to draw and post it today. :) This statement is SO hard to remember, espeially in a 'perfect cookie cutter' society.

I hope you embrace your flaws this week though... 

I really do!

Have a BEAUIFUL weeked!!

You're a BEAUTIFUL talented GEM!

PEACEfull Flower.

I am SO SO excited about this drawing! 

I know it's simple, but i think it came out really cute. :)

Perfect for a children's room or nursery!

But...seeing as i love it, and I'm 28, i think adults would love it too!

Where do Reeses Rejects go?

Did you ever wonder happens to the rejects of Reeses land? 

Poor little guys (and gals).

So much work to make yourself into a peanut butter cup... and all you can be is a candy model for Walmart.

Better luck next time guys! 

(oops...sorry for the 'signature spelling mistake') ;)

 

TODAY is the DAY.

I got such a good response from my first black and white drawing, "hi love" that it inspired me to keep drawing MORE in this style.

This was my 2nd adventure in black and white land. Since these nightly doodles came about, i've drawn about 10; and am now printing a whole collection of them that will be available in my etsy shop next month! :D

Should we stop fast forwarding our lives?

Hard seasons make me want to press the fast forward button. Right now.... THIS is a more difficult season for me. During this new season in NY, I'm super blessed to have made some really amazing friendships here. They've made my hard season much easier. For that, I'm so thankful.

A lovely friend of mine, knowing my issues with my present, knowing that i want to hurry up this season, sent me a link to this INCREDIBLE blog post. 

The blog, "God Chicks" is written by Holly Wagner, a pastor of a church in California. 

I spent the rest of the day listening to everything i could find on this website, all of Holly and the other God Chick's stories. It made for a very delightful day.

I hope that perhaps you could find this doodle or even this blog as awesome and helpful as i do. :)

We are NOT our weight.

And NEITHER are you. <3

amen for that! 

:)

Have a GREAT day!

Oh man...Monday again! I hope it's a great one for you? 

Right now, i'm freelancing to make some extra moolah and then i'll hopefully be drawing up a storm to get some more exciting and encouraging messages to ya! 

Have a great day!!

(for serious yo!)

Cupcake Towers are my FAV towers!

I would VERY much like a cupcake tower today. That would be quite lovely indeed. 

In a HUGE city full of bakeries and cupcake places, perhaps i'll find one on my adventures today.

I'll let you know if i come across a delicious tower of joy!

Happy Thursday,

Jenipher :)

Head full of Bubbles.

My brains a spinnin... there's too much to think about, and i feel like my brain is full of little colorful bubbles. Some happy, some stressful.

I'm hoping i can pop some of these little bubbles to make room for all the joy life has to offer, but it doesn't appear that's going to happen today.

Perhaps tomorrow though.... tomorrow i might have enough room to add little dream bubbles in there; that would be pretty splendid. :)

Well...until tomorrow friends,

YOU are a BLESSING!

The last few weeks have been hard. 

VERY VERY hard. 

But each week, over and over i realize that i truly am blessed. I live in a neat city [even if i am choking at the prices of things], i have a GREAT group of girlfriends, I'm dating my best friend, and even though i'm in NY, i'm still enjoying my Florida friends. [and those spread out around the world!] [thank you Skype!!] 

So life is hard. It always will be. But i'm FULL of faith that i was given all these blessings to help keep me going. 

On the hard days i really just need to remember.

I'm so blessed.

THIS is your time!

I wanted to try and go exploring and use a color i never use. I tried to place the colors in a gradient; i think it looks pretty darn cool! [if i do say so my self] AND it's a phrase i NEED To hear oodles this week. 

Hope you have a stellar Thursday!

Peace Out.

Gertie wishes she was born in the 1970's.

She wishes she went to woodstock, and got to picket with the rest of the peace rally folks. Sadly, she wasn't, but she still uses the lingo in hopes she sounds like she was born in a different decade.

Peace Out Gertie.

Peace Out.

:),

You're OWN Journey.

I made this as a set with the doodle i posted yesterday, i love how they came out! :) They make such a cute set!

What do you think?

STOP comparing YOURSELF.

We are called to LOVE.

Ain't it the truth? ;)

But sometimes it's SO SO hard.

Do i really want to LOVE the guy who just cut me off while driving? The lady who slammed into me on the street?

Not really....

But i really am trying. 

I want to live this 'LOVE EVERYONE' mentalitiy. 

I really do..

But i have to GIVE Myself {g r a c e} in the meantime.

Take some time out today to love someone you didn't think you could love. You never know who's life you're changing. :)

Over and out,

Jenipher
