Lilo Kahlua

I often get requests to do a sketch as a tribute for pets who have passed. These sketches are always special to me because of the impact associated with the loss of a loved one.

I didn't know Lilo Kahlua personally, but many of you may have known this special little girl. She has her own Instagram, Facebook and many videos on YouTube showcasing how much she loved to make people smile. I consider it an honor to have been asked to sketch such an incredible girl who will be so missed by all who knew her. 

Doodle Mug

What's better than a personalized gift that only costs a couple of dollars?! Not a whole lot! One Pinterest project that has been on my list for quite some time has been doodle mugs. Just plain white coffee mugs with doodles. They are perfect for adding a little bit of fun to your morning cup of joe. So what do you need? Simple...

A plain white ceramic coffee mug, a sharpie and some imagination!

Doodle on the mug. Then bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Then cool. Easy as that!

Mine, was for a thank you gift. So I wrote "thank you," in as many different ways as I could think of. Trying to use all different fonts as I went along. I just filled with candy, added a bow and it was a huge hit! A great simple way to say thanks!

It would also be a great gift for those coffee lovers in your life. What coffee fanatic doesn't need a new mug?! Just make it your own and the lucky recipient will LOVE it! Add a fun mustache, a funny saying or a sweet love note.
