Day 3 of #VectorPortrait Week. I've updated this one with more color since the last time I posted it. These portraits have been exercises in working from low resolution photos taken, drawing with the blob brush, using Object>Path>Simplify, and working with a very limited output pallet (For this one it would print Black, Pale Irish Girl™, Pink, Green, Grey and a split fountain). Let me know what you think in the comments. If you'd like to commission a portrait find my contact form in the Linktree in my profile. . . . . #paducahcreatives #creativepaducah #partakeinpaducah #paducahlife #paducahcreativecity #GraphicDesign #AdobeIllustrator #Illustration #VectorArt #ShowYourWork #ArtistSharing #ArtistsOnInstagram #GraphicDesignCentral #GraphicOfTheDay

Favorite Moments of 2019

Felix Felicis Tattoo

In January I finally did something I had been wanting to do since high school; I got a Harry Potter tattoo! This was my second tattoo and I decided on a bottle of Felix Felicis, also known as liquid luck. A good friend of Tim’s, who has done most of his work, did the piece for me. I expected this to be more painful than my first tattoo (which is on my thigh) but it was surprisingly easy. I’m happy with how it turned out, and am planning on getting more Harry Potter themed work. 

My New Vlog

Before our Honeymoon in February, I decided to try my hand at vlogging. I was spending a lot of time watching theme park vlogs on YouTube and my husband suggested I make some of my own. Anyone that knows me is familiar with my obsession with roller coasters and theme parks. We had full intentions of making a video at Universal Studios Orlando but we didn’t have the right equipment. We did a few home vlogs about our Universal trip after we returned. I found it difficult to be at a park like Cedar Point and not be riding non-stop. So we didn’t vlog as much as I had hoped or anticipated, but we made a few Cedar Point vlogs that I am proud of. Here is one of my favorites. I have since gotten a GoPro and I think that will make vlogging in the parks a lot easier for me. So look for more in 2020.

Cedar Point in 2019

2019 was the most trips to Cedar Point I had ever made in one season. Tim got us Platinum passes which enabled us to go as many times as we wanted. We try to go on Fridays because it is the only week day I don’t work, and crowds are usually lower in attendance. We did some vlogging and the pass came in handy because on the days we didn’t ride as much and vlogged, it didn’t feel like we were wasting money. We rode Steel Vengeance as much as we could, and are obsessed. There is nothing else like it that I’ve ever ridden! We also had a season FunPix pass, and we loved all the ride photos. 

Clean Beauty Switch

I made the decision last year that I was going to start using green beauty products, and eliminate products with toxic ingredients. If you are careful with what you put into your body, why wouldn’t you be careful with what you put on it? I started realizing more and more green beauty companies appearing on my Instagram feed. I had an issue with my skin last year that spanned six months. After that, it was even more important to know what I was putting on my face and body. I discovered the company W3ll People and began using their products. They even ended up asking me if I would complete a survey, and after I received a $100 gift card. They are my favorite clean beauty makeup brand and I really love their products. My favorite products are the Bio Base Baked Foundation, and I also enjoy the Optimist Lipstick in the Choose Love color.

New Garden Boxes

We had ambitious plans for our garden in 2019. Tim built new planter boxes closer to our house. It was a cold Spring so things started out slow but when it started to get warmer, the garden grew like crazy! We planted way more than we needed and put the plants too close together. Next year we will plot the garden differently. We were successful at our first attempt to can pickles. I was nervous that they wouldn’t turn out, but they were really tasty! We had been busy during the summer riding coasters on the weekends so a lot of the cucumbers weren’t harvested properly. It was a good lesson on how we can improve things next season. 

One Year Anniversary in Paducah

Paducah is a town in western Kentucky that is very special to us. Tim and I had a beautiful, intimate wedding there in October, 2018. We planned to make a trip back to celebrate our one year anniversary. We stayed at an adorable Airbnb downtown which was in the perfect location because we could walk to most of our favorite places. We met up with some of our friends, did a haunted ghost tour, ate a delicious replica of our wedding cake, made an emotional visit to our wedding venue, and of course ate at Just Hamburgers! I can’t describe how happy this town makes me, and every time we leave I can’t wait to come back. Our first year of marriage has been amazing, and I love him more every day.  I hope Tim and I will continue to make yearly visits and, maybe someday even make Paducah our home.

First Trip to Dollywood

Dollywood has been on my theme park bucket list for a long time, and I finally got to visit in October. We had a wonderful experience, and the park exceeded my expectations. It was a gloomy Monday and I was very concerned the rain would ruin the experience. All my worrying was in vain. Everything ran perfectly all day, and ride wait times were 5 minutes or less. My top priorities were riding Lightning Rod, and eating cinnamon bread from The Grist Mill. A back row ride on Lightning Rod had things off to a rough start (literally) but after moving to the front row,  the ride experience was much smoother. It’s a short, but intense ride that took me by surprise. The cinnamon bread was as good as I had imagined. I will dream about that until I have it again!  I was impressed by the theming on all the rides, the staff was very friendly, and the park was clean. I even enjoyed checking out things that were not roller coasters like touring Dolly’s bus and the Chasing Rainbows Museum.  We had fun with our photo pass, and took as many pictures as we could! 

Rucking

Before I met my husband, I had no idea what rucking was. He taught me the basics and this last year, we spent a lot of time rucking. Rucking is walking with a weighted backpack, and you can do it anywhere! It’s a great cardiovascular activity but also helps build strength and posture.  When he went to GORUCK HQ to shoot an event called Selection, he brought me back my very own ruck and weight plate. He got me a GORUCK Echo in my favorite color, Java. Soon after, I started rucking with my 20 lb plate in my ruck. It’s an activity that is really fun for Tim and I to do together. We can spend quality time and also be active and healthy. I signed up for a monthly rucking challenge in November and earned my first patch. The pledge was to ruck 10 miles and I did that plus many more. This year I want to challenge myself more and try an event with Tim. 

Rucking My First 10k

In November, one of the offices I work for decided to do a 10k. My boss is a competitive runner and triathlete, but the rest of the staff decided to walk. I’ve walked a few 5k’s before but never a 10k. To add an extra challenge since I had been rucking, I told myself I would carry my ruck with weight (20+ lbs). Thankfully, there wasn’t any snow on the ground yet, but it was chilly! This was also the first time doing this type of distance with weight and not having Tim with me. It was a challenge, and at times very discouraging. I was the only one rucking and everyone else was walking or running so I felt like I was dead last. Maybe I was dead last, but I finished. I look forward to taking on new challenges in 2020. 

Universal Orlando Honeymoon

It’s no secret that Tim and I are huge Harry Potter fans.  When we were deciding on where to honeymoon, we originally had plans to visit Scotland. When it came down to it, we decided to go to a place we were familiar with and  where we knew we would have fun. We chose to spend a week at Universal Studios Orlando, Florida!  It was a dream to spend a week here! An exhausting dream come true. The staff made us feel so special and everyone congratulated us on our marriage multiple times a day (thanks to our buttons!). Staying on-site is perfect! Loews Royal Pacific is a beautiful hotel, and it’s very convenient to the parks and Citywalk. February is off season but with the Unlimited Express Pass we walked on every ride. It was sunny and upper 70’s every day! Perfect weather for me and comfortable for Tim. We started out our mornings immersed in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and enjoyed bouncing back and forth from Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios all day long. We can’t wait to make  a trip back in 2020, so we can ride Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure!

Here are two gorgeous Italian Leather wallets that are really excellent to carry in your front pocket or the back. Their style is known as “Minimalist Styled Wallets”, and are available from ✌️Hipsters✌️Leather Crafts-n-Crap. These amazingly beautiful wallets are made with some of the best quality Italian leather you will find. Not only the look but the feel just shouts high quality. They’re made with a Waxy Pull-up and Vegetable Tanned Leather from the Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Italy, but completely hand stitched and hand made by me. That Tannery in Italy is very well known throughout the world for their premium vegetable tanned leathers and the beautiful colors they’re able to produce, such as this. This leather has a unique rustic pull-up that adds beautiful depth to the leather and makes for an amazing patina as it ages. This veg tan leather is their top grade, it is full grain and has a nice supple feel with a small amount of firmness. The leather is dyed completely through and has a nice soft flesh side. This leather has a great feel in the hand and will last for many many years to come. You can check this wallet out this Saturday at The Farmers Market Celebration on the riverfront in downtown Paducah Kentucky.
