    Handlettering Challenge: #CFLGilmoreGirls

    COPPER BOOM!  If you don’t know what that refers to, do yourself a favor and snuggle up with some pop tarts and coffee and watch Gilmore Girls – right now.

You can, as always, check out the craziness as it happens on my Instagram (GlancePaintz) I will use today’s space to pull together my posts from the #CFLGilmoreGirls Challenge hosted by my all-time favorite letterer Chalkfulloflove (seriously, this woman got me started on lettering…

    Handlettering Challenge: #FebwithFriends

    If you have been following along on my Instagram (GlancePaintz) you have seen my sometimes sloppy – sometimes inspired hand-lettering posts.

They were [of course] inspired by 2 of my all-time favorite TV shows so I couldn’t resist joining in the fun! Here I will dedicate a space to pull together my posts from the #FebwithFriends Challenge and I hope you all enjoy the iconic quotes and my twists on interpreting them into lettering!    1.

    Bedroom Decor: Kid Edition

    Hockey and Mermaids.  That is what I live with on a day to day basis.   Having an 8-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy running around our house calls for some really loud, adventurous times and honestly – I love it. One of my favorite things to do is customize their spaces and make them feel like it is really ‘theirs’. The first time I met them I even gave them these canvases to hang in their rooms! To this day, they are up on their walls (even after the move into the new house) and it is still something special and unique that they both love.    Having a…

    Why Can’t Bathroom Decor Be More Fun!?

However, if you live with 3 other people – like I do – cleaning the bathroom regularly is essential but I digress… Recently I have started realizing just how much time we all spend in the bathroom. I know I dedicate a good portion of my morning routine to this room because of my mess…

    Take Me Out To The Ball Game

    Baseball is not only one of America’s favorite past-times but it is personally one of the sports (besides ice hockey) that I most vividly remember being introduced to at a fairly young age by my dad.  Baseball, specifically the Philadelphia Phillies, will always have a spot in my heart and I constantly associate it with a warm summer day, ice cream at the ballpark and a ton of fun with family and friends. All that being said I have recently been asked to do a few baseball themed pieces and I have been LOVING IT!      When a friend from high school requested a baseball-themed piece for her friend’s…
