It’s a great time to share some of the funny stuff I’ve been saving over the past month or two. I keep a folder to file these types of “important” images to and it’s getting pretty full. Let’s share some giggles, shall we?

Now that we are almost through April, I thought it would be a good time to check in on my one little word. I chose the word JOY to guide me through this year. I haven’t been overly focused on this word but I have made it a point to notice joy in my life and to appreciate it more.

I’m excited to tell you all about my favorite script fonts today. My previous post on the best basic & free journaling fonts was very popular and I definitely want to continue on this series. I see so many posts out there recommending hard-to-read fonts. I’ve made thousands of scrapbook pages over the years (both paper and digital), taught scrapbooking classes, written for instructive scrapbooking sites, and been a digital designer. I’ve looked at A LOT of text and fonts over the years and have put a great deal of thought and study into my own font choices. It’s tempting to just download all the amazing fonts out there, especially when they are free. If you love fonts, go ahead and download to your hearts content, but be sure to do some research and figure out which ones look the best. Focus on readability above all else. It will make a huge difference in your projects!

I’ve had a strangely busy week for someone who is still staying home all the time. On top of that, we went without internet for about 8 hours yesterday because of a Xfinity outage. I’m so dependent on the internet that it kind of messed with my entire day. I might need to work on that just a bit. lol!

Speaking of the internet, I sure love it for inspiration. I love searching for quotes and pinning them to Pinterest. I’ve been working on this board for years and thought this would be a good day to share a few of my favorites.

I’m always grateful when I find a funny little meme or snippet that makes me laugh. Humor really is a great stress reliever. I hope you all enjoy some of these funnies as well!

I’ve created some graphics for you to pin or save as desired that will help you in your own font study. I’ve made sure that each font I’ve recommended is free to download and easy to find. All of the fonts in today’s post are actually OK for commercial use as well (always good to read the licenses to be sure). Links are included below.

I’m convinced that humor sparks creativity. When I can laugh at life, I feel much happier and that leads to good things. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ve probably figured out that I have a pretty goofy sense of humor. It’s a great coping tool and I’m so grateful for the funny parts of life. Here are some silly snippets I’ve been saving to share.

I’m excited about a new tool I found last week when I visited someone’s Instagram profile page. It’s called Campsite and it’s free and helps you put all of your important links in one place. This is important when you can only include one link in your profile - which is the case with platforms like Instagram and Twitter. My blog has always been my homebase for all of my links, but in a mobile app connected world, it’s nice to have an easy way to help others find all of your resources.

Here’s what my Campsite looks like. When you go to the actual page, all the links and icons are clickable.

A lot of creative people struggle with trying to focus on too many things at once. I’m definitely guilty of that because there are so many different projects I want to work on! I guess that is why this quote really resonated with me.
