I was honored to help my friend Michelle create this card to support her brother-in-law Nick, who is battling cancer.  Michelle is the owner of Poplar Photography and asked if I could write the words "Have Courage" to be placed over one of her beautiful photographs.  The end result is even more gorgeous than I imagined!

If you'd like to find out more about Nick's ongoing fight against cancer, click here.  Anyone who makes a donation receives one of these beautiful cards!

Check out my latest collaboration with TLMade for Easter!  It's so fun seeing the finished product they create after I hand over my lettering.  If you want some of your own, you can purchase them here. 

I was asked to write the word "Pursuit" to go on the cover of some prayer journals for an upcoming young adult's retreat at my church.  While I was writing it over and over, I thought it would be fun to try to make a short video.  Making a video with a phone camera is really tricky if you don't have any free hands.  I ended up balancing the phone on a box of tissues and had to try to write while peering over the whole thing...not the easiest.  Maybe I'll have to devise a better contraption if I want to make videos in the future.  

Here's my first attempt. I didn't realize it was off-center at first. The little shakes are me accidentally hitting the tissue box - oops! :)

Here's the rest of the word after I moved it to the center.
