I have a thing for map art. Something about viewing a depiction of the continents is just as appealing to me as gazing at a van Gogh. Perhaps it’s my traveler’s soul, or maybe I’m just fascinated by the notion that we’re all slowly drifting together and apart at the same time. Either way, I like map art and it […]

I like journals and I like monograms, s0 this DIY by Design Mom got my attention right away. I was one of those kids that would scribble my initials all over the covers and margins of my notebooks (I had this thing for putting A’s in stars. I think I had it in my head that it stood for […]
