So bad keeping up with all social medias lately 🫠 but I’m painting a lot! #kidlitart

Airports are so equally annoying and wonderful to me. The amount of people and noise deeply overwhelms me, but as soon as I get to the boarding area with the big windows I feel like an excited kid again. Airplanes will never fail to fill me with excitement and awe, like what do you mean we can fly!?

Supporting another person's success will never ruin yours. 👌

Want to meet the people behind the books 📚 Isn't it wild to think that all these kids are running around sharing their stories/art and making their dreams come true?✨️ P.S. I saved the best one for last 🙃

Love these cat shows 🐈‍⬛ #kidlitart

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

So happy with my scanner 🤭 #kidlitart
