Life Finds A Way...

It is officially summer now, which seems crazy to me…almost as crazy as the world lately, am I right? Not gonna lie, things have been rough, just in general, status of the world, type things and more personally as well. Everything just seems a bit overwhelming at the moment, and I’m sure that’s true for many of us…but as the title of the blog (which is quoting Jurassic Park) says, life finds a way. I’m sure that will prove true, but sometimes it really seems like that might be up in the air.

On a less heavy topic - the new Jurassic World movie is out! I haven’t seen it, but I noticed that they brought back the original trio from the movies that came out back in the 90s, so I’m excited by that! I also just read the Jurassic Park novel for the first time and loved it! If you haven’t read the book - do it! I sat down to do a quick look for quotes to make some new products with the latest movie out and ended up just reading the whole thing in basically one sitting!

I did end up finding a ton of great quotes to use for products also - so those are up in the shop here now & I definitely have material to make more if there’s a high demand or if you’re looking for a specific quote!

Also on the topic of nostalgia and bringing back things from the 90s (and my childhood) - the Obi Wan show has been AH-MAY-ZING!!!! As a hardcore Star Wars prequels fan (I grew up with them and they were my Star Wars) who has always loved Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker - this show was made specifically for me and people like me! I’m absolutely loving every minute of it and can’t wait for the final episode coming up this Wednesday!

Due to the Obi Wan show basically taking over my life - I have been working on a bunch of Star Wars products lately as well and probably won’t be stopping any time soon, even if nobody is buying them (I’ll just keep them all for myself!) My favorite so far is a double-sided Han & Leia silhouette bookmark, but I’m also hoping to get an Obi Wan/Anakin one done before Wednesday’s finale.

Literary Love

Happy Valentine’s Day! As always, I’m a bit behind on, well, everything - but I did want to get something up today, since I’ve been neglecting this blog for the past few months…

First up: bookish Valentines! I whipped these up pretty quick, so they’re not the greatest quality, but I had fun with it and I hope you enjoy them! Share them on your socials, send to someone special, save them, do whatever makes you happy! I would appreciate if you do mention where they came from though, since I belatedly realized I didn’t make note of that within the design…

Since it’s the day of love, I’ve been thinking of some of my favorite literary couples to read about and think some of my top OTPs are the following:

• Darcy & Elizabeth (Pride & Prejudice)

• Will, Tessa & Jem (Clockwork Angel trilogy)

• Jaime & Claire (Outlander)

• Poppy & Hawke (From Blood & Ash series)

• Kaz Brekker & Inej Ghafa (Six of Crows)

• Rose Hathaway & Dimitri Belikov (Vampire Academy)

Who are some of your favorite literary couples?

On more of a practical update side of things - I am hoping to soon be starting a complete website overhaul and redesign and will also be making some general changes, one of which will be a product pricing increase. So, if you’ve been eyeing something in the shop for a while, be sure to snag it before that happens!
