Elliot and I created our ghost leaves this afternoon to wrap up our tree study with some Halloween inspiration. I got this adorable idea from @woodlark and I just love them. We each had 3 leaves and after Elliot painted one coat, we let them dry and then I added a few more and drew the faces. Boo!

Finishing up with Autumn Tree Study Week, over the past few days we accomplished pretty much all that was on my list. We still need to make our ghost leaves so we will do that tomorrow.

  • We learned how trees grow from The Magic & Mystery of Trees by Jen Green
  • did some tree rubbings on two of our maple trees in the yard
  • Elliot traced all different types of leaf shapes (linework practice) from Trees: A Rooted History by Piotr Socha & Wojciech and Grajkowski
  • Had an art lesson on drawing leaves
  • Created a leaf collage with leaves I collected from our yard
  • Read Sky Tree by Thomas Locker and really loved the beautiful paintings
  • Read Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert

We both enjoyed studying trees this week. Elliot really loved that Daddy was part of some of the lessons too. Looking forward to next weeks nature study, which is all about pumpkins. Perfect timing with Halloween right around the corner.

The Diosahood is a sisterhood for diverse women to heal, to rise and to lead. This global community, founded by my friend and client for 6 years now @cosmicchristine, is a sacred space for all women to come together and fuel up on Diosa vibes.

This is a little marketing piece I created for the membership. Designed with Christine’s branding in mind and includes all info on the platform. I just love how it came out. You can learn more and sign up at thediosahood.com.

Another recent website I created that just launched, The Passport to the World Club. I was happy to work with longtime client @pattigreenhealthyliving on this project to help her build this educational biz and spread the word on wellness for kids.

The Passport to the World Club is an exciting and fun global cooking experience for children. Each month a new country is highlighted and throughout the month children will learn about the various regions of the country, the foods, geography, culture, holidays and more!

This is the soft launch until December when they will offer the memberships and cooking classes. Such an exciting venture and I wish Patti all the best with this project.

You can learn more at passporttotheworldclub.com.
