Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work. I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since. While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad. No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies. This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation. I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate. My plan worked, I learned a lot about procreate and I enjoyed to process. The biggest thing I learned was how very freeing being able to sit on the couch or the porch at night with just an iPad and a pencil was.

Let's be honest, for most of us sending thank you notes is something that has probably fallen by the wayside. It's become an “I’ll get to that later” kind of thing, but very often later never comes. I'm starting my New Year off by sending thank you notes. I also want to encourage you to stop sitting on the most important notes you could be writing.
We've just ended a season of giving and sharing, wouldn't it be amazing if those who gave and shared received a lovely little note to kick their New Year off with a bit of gratitude from their loved ones and friends?
Consider this, you received a thought full gift or a bag of treats during the holiday season, but you never send a thank you note. The holidays are over and you run into that friend or neighbor in the grocery. They ask if you enjoyed the goodies, now you've ended up in possibly an awkward conversation. All of which could have been avoided if you'd only sent the thank you note. It doesn't matter if you did or didn't enjoy the treats, your thanking them for the sentiment. The sentiment is what matters. The same is true for the thank you note. Send the note, avoid any awkward conversations, and start your year off with gratitude. It's about returning the kindness by letting them know you received the gift and appreciated their kindness.
