Decided to put one of @secondlina.com's Crow Time stickers on my 2026 planner. It felt appropriate.

A collection of signs from the No Kings Protest in Montgomery. The first one reflects some of why I went.
Protest sign: Never underestimate the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement Protest sign like the notorious Trump-Epstein letter, but instead says, "Keep your policies off MY BODY" Protests sign like a no parking sign, " NO KING ANY TIME VIOLATORS WILL BE REMOVED" A hand-drawn crown, crossed out, and "EST. 1776"

Hey, that order from Japan finally arrived. This is pretty much a Nicker art supplies order. I got some things that aren't available here, such as the tutorials and, my main goal, the grooved ruler and stick. That is so hard to find anywhere.
Collection of art supplies. Clockwise from bottom left: a grooved ruler with stick, a stack of plastic paint dishes, a collection of painted backgrounds, two brochures for background paintings, and a Nicker Poster Color swatch chart.

Look at my little Buddy Bean. I just got started, so her room is a little sparse.

Yep. Saw and took a few videos and photos of them. They seem to be waking in a circle...

I'll have to take your word and the site photos for it. When I say I haven't opened it, I haven't even broken the seal. 😅

A small at supply haul from Jerry's Artarama. I mainly wanted to get some Daniel Smith watercolor sticks and a tube. The pad I got because I wanted to get more of the 5 x 7 in. size. The paper sampler is a bonus item. The bookmark pens seemed neat, the hake brushes were on sale.
Photo of a collection of art supplies: a sampler pack of watercolor paper, a collapsible bucket, a pack of bookmark pens, a pack of 3 hake brushes, a block of watercolor paper, two watercolor sticks, and a watercolor tube.
