About five years ago, I had an idea for a book…

When is a creative side quest a distraction, and when does it help us achieve our goals? I took a surface pattern design course, and for a few days, it swallowed me up.

I think I may be the odd one out, but I love New Year’s Resolutions. I enjoy taking stock of the goals I’ve met, and starting with a blank slate of new milestones I want to reach.

Bramble is a journal of my rambles about children’s lit, illustrating, and my experience trying to live a creative, whimsical life.
