Empathy Cards...

There are the days you accidently spend an hour reading greeting cards in a store, laughing at all the one liners. Then there are the days you purposely spend an hour searching for the perfect card for the things you cannot find your own words for and simply end up exhaling at the futility.

Cancer survivor, Emily McDowell made a series of cards she wished she received while she was going through treatment, and the whole concept is genius. Much love.

The Night Circus...

I'm starting a personal art project. I received a new sketchbook for Christmas, and shortly after that I read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Obsessed with the imagery, I decided to dedicate the sketchbook to this novel.
