thanks Leah! I feel the same way, I'm drawn to color, but am cautious about using it in my home or my art. The funny thing is, I actually dress pretty colorfully and always wonder why it's easy for me to combine colors in my clothes but not other places.

thanks Kimberly!

ha! great timing on this post. I've been acquiring more houseplants recently and yesterday was out and about looking for new containers for some of them that have grown. i just couldn't find anything I liked, and I thought "i wonder where Rachel finds her plant containers, she always has great ones." ;)

i just found your blog recently (i think via on a comment on Kelly Purkey's) and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy it! i like your take on Project Life. I live outside of Chicago in the suburbs, but I was a city girl for a few years, and lots of what you write about brings back those memories for me. it's fun to read!

i saw a spread from this book on pinterest and I immediately had to come and see the rest of it! what a FUN book. i really like the way you use embellishments: it adds a lot of style but isn't overwhelming. i've been considering using a Handbook for a sort of modified Project Life (keeping up with weekly spreads is just not for me) and seeing this book sealed the deal! It gives me so many new ideas to try.

Yay! just today I was poking around your archives a little bit looking for a post like this. i love the way you use color in such an uninhibited way. i love doodling but i've been timid about adding color to my work, so it's fun to see your process.

oh man. the best!! my personal favorite pokey stix story is the time my friend Valerie and I ordered them so late, we knew we'd pass out before the delivery guy got there. so of course our solution was to write "Mr. Pokey Stix, just come in" on a post-it note and put it on the (unlocked) door. i learned a lot of things in college but i guess personal safety was not one of them. :)

ha! i have to say I loved the differences in the three recaps. ;) would have loved to be a fly on the wall for this gathering. and just to peek into one of those journals in real life! beautiful stuff.

dude. that was great. I LOVE HIM. I went to a book signing for his latest picture book and hearing his stories in person was wonderful. He did some live drawing and I really, really, really wanted to steal one of the pages afterwards... too bad the book store lady hustled them away right after he finished.

happy to finally see this! and I might have to steal an idea... I was trying to figure out how to incorporate that peppermint-y anthro gift tag into my book, the glassine envelope is perfect.
