May 2022 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
In Atlanta, the weather has turned full-on gorgeous. Daniel and I spent a few days in the mountains (pics below!) and I came back feeling so refreshed and aligned with my life priorities. In that sense, I wanted to create a joyful, exuberant illustration for this month - there is so much to anticipate! I love this time of year the most, and I hope you enjoy this month's wallpaper :)

January 2022 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
May you have a wonderful start to your New Year! This month's illustration may not seem the most seasonally-appropriate, but as I sat down to design this month's wallpaper, I felt the need to draw something optimistic and lush as a way of putting those intentions out for all of us in 2022. Rather than asking the Year to be good to us, let's ask ourselves on the daily how to care for ourselves and each other. We all have the ability to make our dreams/goals/visions come true - it's not the Year that does it, it's us ;)

March 2021 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy March!
We're getting closer to Spring and it feels so good! I wanted to create an illustration this month that evoked the feeling of little buds and leaves just starting to peek out, combined with some lovely script hand-lettering. I hope you like this month's wallpaper as much as I do!

January 2021 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper + Happy New Year!
Happy 2021, everyone! We made it!
A very big pat on the back to you for making it to the other side of 2020! While we're not walking through a portal today into a world free of problems, it does feel good to step into a New Year with a fresh attitude and hopeful mindset. We may still need to work to clear some hurtles, but with continued work and focus, I am hoping that this year we'll see a little more peace, magic, prosperity and love.
If you're a member of the community who has suffered a loss in 2020 - we see you. A New Year and all of its promise is exciting to celebrate, but it doesn't take away real hurts from the past year. Whether it's a loved one, your job or financial security, or your mental health, last year took a real and tangible toll and I just wanted to take a moment here to acknowledge that as well, and let you know we're thinking about you, and sending you thoughts for peace, renewal and joy in 2021.

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend! We remained at home, said hello to our loved ones over Zoom, and enjoyed a relaxing weekend with some good classic movies and putting up our tree! THANK YOU to everyone who has placed an order with us this week, last week, and throughout this season!
