I’ve been spending this week with family for the Fourth of July, taking things slow, soaking up some rest, and giving my brain a little breathing room.

Happy June! In this issue of Studio Snippets, I’m sharing a peek behind the scenes—from early summer slowdowns and shop launch updates to blog highlights, life snapshots, and a new freebie for the summer!

Here’s a little peek behind the scenes at what’s been happening lately in the studio and in life!

Welcome to the latest addition to the Hamletta Studios Blog—Studio Snippets! Think of this as your exclusive look into my humble little art studio. (Ok, full disclosure-- my "studio" is really just my laptop on the move along with my zillions of notebooks falling out of my backpack, as I juggle mom life at the same time.)

Follow along as I take on Genna Blackburn’s 75 Art Challenge in 2025!

The challenge is simple yet ambitious: draw every single day for 75 days straight—just over two and a half months! Check back regularly for my daily sketches, weekly reflections, and everything in between as I take on this creative adventure!

Hello and welcome! I’m so excited to have you here at Hamletta Studios—my little corner of creativity where playful art with sassy art inspires joy, confidence, and intentional living.

As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on everything 2024 has brought into your life—the joys, challenges, and lessons that have shaped you. Reflection isn’t just about looking back; it’s a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and create space for the future you want to build.

I used to think journaling was just about keeping a diary or writing to-do lists, but I’ve discovered it’s so much more. It’s a tool for clarity, creativity, and confidence—and it has completely transformed my life. Through journaling, I have discovered creativity, resilience, and a deeper connection to myself. Here’s 5 reasons how picking up a pen and paper changed everything for me, and why it might do the same for you.
