I believe everyone is an Artist. Some people may not recognize what they do as "art", but it takes on so many different shapes and forms. Perhaps you're surrounded by art right now and don't even know it!
Cooking is an art. Loving your kids and keeping them fed, bathed, and entertained is an art. Crunching numbers in a budget is an art. Maintaining a healthy marriage is an art. Masterfully hammering boards together and building something that didn't used to exist is an art.
Since art is everywhere, sometimes even the people who DO call themselves Artists don't realize how many artistic passions they've left undiscovered.
One of my favorite artists, Miss Abi, is an A-MAZING photographer. And fashionista. And writer. And, and, and...as it turns out, a sketcher!! Who knew?!
Abi and I love to trade art with each other. She took some terrific photos for my new business, and I paid her back by making her an 8.5 x 11 sketchbook.
Her favorite color green in a fun pattern, plus her name and some BLING!
A pen loop (because what good is your sketchbook if you forget a pen?!) was built in as well.
Abi, thank you for being my go-to girl for all things photography (and fashion advice, which I am certain I desperately need more of!).
I love your zest for life and hope this book will be just one of the many places you chronicle all your dreams and adventures this year and beyond! Love you!
