Hello, there!

Today is the first day of a short camping trip I’m taking. We’re heading up the Gorge, one of my favorite places in the world. I can’t wait!

Seriously, how am I so lucky to live somewhere this beautiful?

Anyway, here are some links!

• Why French women don’t burn out: this is a working schedule I could really get behind! I’ve always thought that intensive periods of concentration are best when broken up with a short getaway doing something active and creative. It was a small part of my thesis, and something I’m going to try to do when I get back from the wilderness!
• Overcoming Self-Doubt. This article is from a new discovery of mine- uncluttered white spaces.
• I did this project this week for my Mom’s birthday! I chose a picture of our family, printed it on tissue paper, then adhered it to a canvas. While I’m happy with the results, I’ll post pictures of it soon- it was a little harder than they make it seem!
