January 2023 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy January, and Happy New Year! I hope this year gives you the space to find - or continue to work on - what makes you happy and brings you joy! The last few years have been difficult for so many people, let's commit to treating one another with a little more kindness and gentleness in the coming months. The world is what we make of it ;) Let's make it a better place for everyone.
For this month's illustration, I wanted to create something a little different than my regular florals; something that had a sparkle of optimism. I hope you enjoy it! :)

October 2022 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy October! It's my favorite time of year, and today is the day our household decorates for my favorite holiday: Halloween!! I can't wait to put up all of our spooky decorations and buy Halloween Candy (before I eat it all and then have to go buy more Halloween Candy to hand out lol) I love all of the dusky, jewel tones of autumn, so I hope you enjoy this desktop wallpaper! :)

August 2022 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy August! I am doing something a little different this month. These past few weeks have been packed for my schedule, and I am unexpectedly going to be away from my desk on the 1st for family reasons. So, I am re-issuing one of our most popular August illustrations for this month. I know some of you who have been receiving these for awhile might be disappointed to get one you already have enjoyed (it's from 2018 though, so *quite* a while back - rest assured I updated the dates for 2022), but I am hoping you will all understand that my family needs to come first this month ;) It's been a pleasure to share these monthly wallpapers with you since 2017 (5 years!) without a repeat, so I hope you will still enjoy this month's wallpaper, and in September we will be back with some fresh toasty content :)

June 2022 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy June! Summer is almost here, and I am excited about working on our yard more often, jumping in our Minnidip pool, and sitting out and watching the fireflies at night. This month's wallpaper is a tribute to the roses on the side of our house that get too much sun, whom I'm trying to resurrect (lol). I hope you enjoy this month's wallpaper :)

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 :)
