Rest is IMPORTANT to FLOURISH.

Hi friends!! It's been a WHILE!

I just got back from Florida. I was visiting my family, and had the pleasure to 'meet' my nephew! Yay! 

While i was there, computer-less, i spent a majority of my time exploring my creativity in ways i don't often allow myself to do here in NY. My mom bought me a NEON EXPLOSION of fun crafty things! [sharpies, colored pencils and the COOLEST pencil pouch i've ever seen!!]

I spent time hugging doggies [they have three] and swimming everyday. I learned that computer FREE days are so IMPORTANT. I spent a lot of time just being with friends and family, but i spent a SIGNIFICANT amount of time writing, drawing, and coming up with new designs, and planning my current and future projects.

It's funny.. as artists we wish we had the time to work more on crafty things and less on business things... but this past week I learned that spending a TON of time using your right brain is EXHAUSTING. I guess the balance is okay for now... [even if i still wish i allowed myself to be crafty more often]

All and all it was a good trip and a good reminder how IMPORTANT rest is for not only my body, but for my career too!

Is there anything you've learned [about yourself] recently? I'd LOVE to hear about it! :)

Happy Wednesday friends!!

Motivational Monday!

This past week has been pretty busy indeed!

I had another demo at Chelsea Market Baskets this past Saturday and it went AMAZINGLY well! 

I sold {{58}}} cards in about three hours. :)

I'm so stoked about that!  

In addition, I've been working a bunch on a custom order for a ship in Michigan, so soon you'll see Nightly Doodles in THREE states! whoo!! These last few weeks have been crazy and exciting!!  

#thankful   

Prepping for my [duo] ART SHOW!

I'm so proud of myself. 

Really. 

Truly. 

How was your week?

much love,

Jenipher :)
