Handlettering Challenge: #FebwithFriends
If you have been following along on my Instagram (GlancePaintz) you have seen my sometimes sloppy – sometimes inspired hand-lettering posts. In the month of February, I participated in my first ever Instagram Hand-Lettering Challenges. 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. Gum would be perfection – Chandler 3. I’m breezy! – Monica 7. Isn’t that just kick you in the crotch…

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…

The bathroom can be one of the most fun places in your house to decorate – if you have a fun attitude about it! Let’s face it – bathrooms are not our favorite place. They can be associated with some pretty messy things and who in the world actually ENJOYS cleaning their bathroom!? NOT ME! 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…
