Art tutorial. How to draw a Christmas Tree doodle for bullet journals, crafts, and fun.


Are you ready for the magic of the holidays? Are you ready to get creative and make some stuff? 

Today's drawing tutorial is super simple (because I know you'll be very busy for the next few weeks!).

​This primitive little Christmas tree doodle can be done in just minutes (depending on the size) and is perfect for bullet journal pages, ornaments, tags, and other Christmas crafts.

New! Cactus Design Office Supply Set (And Free Printable Stationery)

11/12/2017

My latest Zazzle designs: Cactus pattern office supplies and cactus stationery .

It's been a long time since I've designed a new office supply set. I was playing around last night and designed this little cactus motif. I thought he would be perfect for a unique, slightly playful office collection!

I have some sort of mutant superpower that kills real cacti (apparently), no matter how "easy" they are to keep alive. So, I draw them instead. It's a way of coping with my dismal cacti-less future. And I can always hang the drawings by my desk and pretend I'm (sorta) on trend. 

(You can check out my cactus doodle tutorial here.) 
Now that I've confessed that, I'm ready to talk about the office supplies. Because who doesn't love office supplies? 

I'm also including some free printable stationery at the bottom of the post to match! ​

Asian lady beetle invasion. What can you do when your home is infested with ladybugs?
Autumn is such a beautiful time of the year. Orange and gold leaves silhouetted against amazing blue skies. Perfect little white puff clouds.  

And of course, having your entire home and person covered in ladybugs. Or, more specifically, Asian lady beetles. 

Here in Oklahoma, we have a lot of bugs. And when the air turns crispy cool, they all want to come inside and live with us.

​Usually, the kind of bugs you don't want to room with, like spiders, scorpions, wasps and assassin bugs. 
​
And for about two weeks in fall, we get a literal invasion of Asian lady beetles. This week, we are battling literally thousands of spotted visitors. And that is not cute. So what can you do about these "ladybug" invasions?
