Coloring brings peace
I love coloring. I love coloring with glitter gel pens. It makes me happy and accomplished.
I get the absolute perfect joy when I see my finished work. it glitters and I love it. When I was in high school in Sioux Falls, SD, there was a coloring contest in my math class for an extra credit. It was a picture of a Leprechaun for St. Patrick's day. I did my best to color and I won the contest. I was so happy. but at the same time, I felt guilty because I didn't need extra credit in my math class.
Another project I really enjoy is bullet journaling. it just makes me so happy when I make simple spreads with minimal colors. I don't like making my pages busy. it's unnecessary if you ask me. My favorite YouTube, Amanda, does beautiful monthly spreads and weekly spreads and I get so inspired. She is turning 22 and I get so excited when she has a new video on tutorial techniques. I don't think age matters when it comes to being creative. i hope that someday I get to inspire someone with my creative ideas....
I did dandelion paint with a toilet paper, q-tips and a cotton ball. It was so much fun. Very easy and fun. I thought about doing a program for my patrons but I don't think it will work out because it takes maybe 10 minutes to finish. It's nice to try. Right? You can never go wrong with new craft ideas.

New Blog
It’s April 27, Monday at 9:42 am to be precise. It’s year 2020 and we have been quarantined ourselves for more than a month. I’ve decided to write about how my day is going using WordPress. We have at least another month of quarantine and this is the perfect time to really express my inner thoughts and be creative.
I have been cooking a lot lately and I enjoy it most of the time. The best part of quarantine is to have all my kids together at home. Boh has been working for only two days a week and it’s nice to have him home doing his writing projects with his music on. I don’t know when we all really get to go out to the world again. It’s so uncertain but I get to really appreciate what I have and not have to worry about anything else but enjoying every moment of being at home.
Calligraphy
I got super excited to find a free PDF of basic calligraphy from archer and olive website. I practiced and started doing my calligraphy. I find it fascinating to make beautiful cursive lines. I need a lot of practice but it’s a good start. I have some brush pens and I am going to try try some Korean words in calligraphy style. It’s very relaxing and calming when I do calligraphy.
Also, I started a weekly spread in my bullet journal. It’s a simple layout but I really like it. Looking at the whole week, I feel like I am doing something productive. It’s all because of Amanda, the YouTuber. She is only 22 years old but I get a lot of cool ideas from her. I can’t wait for her to do another video on bullet journaling.
