Freebie Fonts: Part 2

Due to the positive response of my freebie fonts (more than 4,000 downloads per font wow!), I made some more for all of you!

These have that fun flavor that the 2 previous ones have and they're really simple to download and use!

First off there's Amidst.  I love children's handwriting and this is what I tried to recreate in this fun, light font for any type of project. The title signifies what I'd like everyone using this font to be in the midst of - happiness, joy, blessings, calm, wonder, delight- the essence of childhood.

The second font is Loverly.  If you're looking for a nice font to use for cartoons, crafts, your website, like you just wrote it and scribbled it fast, this is it!

Thirdly, Scripterina.  Just a happy-go-lucky kind of font.  The spacing isn't perfect but somehow that lends a certain charm to it.  It's donationware, available for both personal or commercial work for any donation amount via Paypal!

Reach is a many kind of font you might want to use for labeling stuff haha.  I don't know I named it thus as the lines don't seem to reach one another but not in a depressing sort of way.  It's still quite uppity really.

Seesaw is what you use maybe for scrapbooking.  It's lovely to just keep typing and not know if a thin or thick letter will pop out!

Fairview is a bit pretentious.  Like it wants to be dignified or elegant or something but it's just plain imperfect.   In font creation, as in life, I find, the mistakes come out and make the outcome more interesting and more beautiful even!

I hope you have fun with these.  Do leave me a comment to brighten up my day!  I promise it will make you happy to do so too!

Thank you to Fontspace and Dafont for hosting these creations.

Freebie Font: Bright Future and Shaded Letters

It's Freebie time!

I love the weekends when I can sit down and give away something nice.  I made 2 fonts recently and though it's free just for personal use, you can sure make a lot of happy letters with it, signage, posters, gifts with this type of font.

The first one I made was for the Bright Future Graduation issue of our shop's e-newsletter.  It's a happy, sunshine-y type of font to use when you want to cheer up whatever it is you're writing.

The second font, Shaded Letters is a bit more serious but still really has that positive jive that we all enjoy.    

Download Link

To install, just go the the link and download the .ttf file.  Once you have them downloaded already, you can go to your File Manager program and drag them to the C:/Windows/Fonts folder and you're done.

I do hope you enjoy using them.  Please share with me your projects with these fonts and I will post them here.

The Woman I Want to Be

March is the month for women (also crafts, but that's another post!).

When I was little, ... this little....

... I used to draw women.  Loads and loads of women.  Women are easier to draw then men.

I had this big ledger type notebook that someone threw away (with all these accounting figures) and I would draw 1 woman per page.  Underneath each woman would be a description of her personality and occupation.  I was trying to find that notebook but was unable to unearth it.

Some things never change and today I still like drawing women.  Though I am one myself, I like imagining women whose lives are way different than mine (though I love my life just the same) as each life is similar to a book that the Author of Life has written.  It's all the more mysterious to think about who this woman might be and what makes her who she is.

Today's ideal woman is far from mine.  She may be bejeweled, rich and powerful but I prefer the woman with the noble character worth far more than rubies.

She is someone with whom people have full confidence in.  She brings them good all the days of her life.

She may not have silky, manicured hands but her hands do arts and crafts well (of course!)

She may not be a gourmet chef but she travels great lengths just to get you your favorite dish.

She may not have flawless complexion because of sufficient beauty sleep but she gets up while it is still dark so she can serve everyone from the least to the greatest and her lamp doesn't go out at night to keep a close eye on her business.

She may not have grown up with a silver spoon but she saves her earnings, multiples it and her whole family prospers.

She may not have an impossibly non-existent waist but her arms are strong for her tasks, working vigorously.

She may not be arm in arm with celebrities on the red carpet or in the society pages but she opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

She may not have the latest fashions but she and her family are well clothed in times of scarcity.  She is clothed in fine linen and purple.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; and she can laugh at the days to come.  She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction in on her tongue... Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.  Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
(from Proverbs 31)

What kind of woman do you want to be?

Look Hoot Flew In

A wonderful surprise flew in the other day.  It was my prize from the UK which took a long time getting here.  It's Mr.Wonderful Owl!  Thank you so much Jehenisus for this generous prize!   I'm forever grateful!  Do visit her blog for more delightful thoughts and things.

 I hastily introduced Mr. Owl to my hatless Swarovski snowman from ages past.  They got on very well together as you can see!

Here's a picture of the owl's bottom (sorry Mr. Owl) since I couldn't get over the nice crystal effect.

Even before he arrived in the mail, I've been sketching owls upon owls.  These feathered friends remind me about seeking wisdom in this life.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. - James 1:5


Here are some of my digitally drawn ones.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

All these owls remind me that it is the month many of you are graduating!  Congratulations all!  Don't forget to celebrate it with gusto!  


At work, my brother made a nice owl bank that's been doing pretty well in the shops.  Isn't he just adorable?  More details about it can be found here.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. - Psalm 111:10

How wide, how long, how high

It's all about love today.  Tremendous, overflowing, limitless, unconditional love.


Just the other day, my friends and I went stargazing.  I was able to capture the moon by holding my camera up to the telescope (otherwise known as digiscoping).  It isn't a perfect shot I know, but to me, it is so grand.

I had to take several practice shots until this, a passable shot, happened.  It was difficult to have a shot that had the gradations of the craters because more often than not, it turned out to be just a white blurry sphere.

That got me thinking about the expanse of the sky and how immeasurable the universe is.

Thoughts like this can only lead one to WHY?  Why is there a sky? a moon? an ocean?  Then it hit me, it is so we know the height and depth and breadth of God's love for us.

"For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him" - Psalm 103:11

So we can imagine what this means - "Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:39

My wish for you today:  "May you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." - Ephesians 3:18
