I am, have been, and always will be a sucker for doodles. My school notebooks were covered in them (well, besides actual class notes). And I poured hours into my drawings for design presentations. Cross-hatching fool, that's me!

See that picture on the left? Hand drawn by yours truly. No markers. All pen, Microns to be exact. And those filled-in, all black portions...lines. Loads of lines close together. Cross hatching madness.

But enough about me, back to some of my design crushes. Like Little Flower Designs. Linda now has ornaments in addition to her vases and mugs. And the polar bear scarf and those feathers...guess what they remind me of...

...Alisa Burke! If you've never heard of her, I encourage to check out of blog. It's chock full of eye candy sketches, family explorations, and fun DIY's. It perks me up each morning!
And she also sells a variety of colorful goodies, from stationary to rubber stamps to these adorable pouches.

So we've covered the Pacific Northwest, Philly area...and down in Miami, there's my dear Valentina...

 ...Valentina Harper (formerly Ramos). I honestly love you. It started with a planner (Yes, I still like to write appointments down the old-fashioned way too). And after further stalking obsessing admiring, I discovered how awesome her Facebook page was/is! Blank coloring pages on Mondays- yay! And almost every month, she whips up a new calendar wallpapers featuring he work. Yeah- you know I've got this month's up at the office!
