In February I released a kit called Love Story and used a lot of the stamps from the kit on this spread, it's a set I could easily use every week. Here are the supplies for Week Twenty-Seven: I'm posting more process videos onto my YouTube channel way before I get around to sharing them here, so be sure to subscribe over there for updates.

I tend to ramble in my blog posts and since I could easily get carried away with words in this post, I will try to keep it brief. I've marched, I've called my representatives, I've made donations since the morning of November 9th, I've complained to friends (and ok, sometimes to strangers.) I created a shop for you to purchase the set of five pins (the Nevertheless, She Persisted one is free with the first fifty purchases) over at widewoke.bigcartel.com. All of the profits are being donated to Planned Parenthood, which is an organization close to my heart that is in danger of soon being defunded by this administration.

Here's a look at Week Twenty-Five using the new Clearly Kelly stamps: Here's the process video for the spread - click below to watch it or you can view it on my YouTube channel (would love for you to subscribe over there): I stamped the Everyday Alphabet in Brilliance Moonlight White ink and combined it with bits from Details of Life and also Good Night. Here's the label from Details of Life alongside the old New York City stamp set that we released last year. Don't forget that if you get lost along the hop you can always go back to the Hero Arts Blog to see the full list of ladies contributing.

Last December had a couple of magic moments including seeing the Subway Therapy displayed at the Union Square subway station. I still carried that gray cloud over my head during December and seeing the Subway Therapy notes really let the clouds part and some sun shine in. I was going to post one of my notes on Instagram and while I was scrolling through the #subwaytherapy hashtag, I found that a stranger had picked out one of my notes and posted it on her own account: The lyrics comes from the song Seasons of Love from RENT - a show that taught me as a teenager about equality and diversity, about standing up to The Man, and about love.
