Well, friends, the holiday season is officially upon us.
“But it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!”
I DON’T CARE.
Halloween is over, I’m putting up my Christmas tree and there’s nothing you can do about it.
And unless you’ve been living in some alternate universe where everything wasn’t disrupted by a virus (in which case I’m extremely jealous), you might have heard that getting your holiday shopping done early this year is a wise decision.
Yes, it’s true—even Scatterbrain Studios is being affected by these “supply chain” issues you’ve been hearing about. Shipping from Taiwan is taking even longer than usual, so my advice is to place those orders early to avoid the anxiety of not knowing whether your gifts will arrive in time for the holidays!
And for a little extra encouragement, my whole Etsy shop is on sale right now!
That’s right: You can get 25% off your entire order when you spend $15 or more.
No code required, so go nuts! (You can find my Etsy shop right here.)
Looking for more things to celebrate in November? Look no further!
Here are some weird holidays to add to your calendar this month:
November 3: Jellyfish Day
November 6: Saxophone Day
November 8: Tongue Twister Day
November 9: World Freedom Day
November 12: Happy Hour Day
November 13: World Kindness Day
November 14: Pickle Day
November 15: Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day
November 19: Have a Bad Day Day
November 19: World Toilet Day
November 21: World Television Day
November 21: World Hello Day
November 19: Square Dancing Day
I haven’t yet decided which holiday I’ll be celebrating on the 19th—it’s a tough call. But I can guarantee my mom will be celebrating Pickle Day on November 14th (if you know you know).
What about the sticker club?
Ah, yes, the sticker club!
This month I’ve been playing around with some candy designs—maybe it’s the holidays that are giving me even more of a sweet tooth than usual, but I’ve been having fun illustrating some nostalgic candy packages when I should definitely be doing other things.
And lucky you, sticker club members: you get the first taste! This month’s theme is “candy”, and you’ll be getting the sticker-versions of some sweet illustrations (along with some other goodies of your choice).
Doesn’t get much sweeter than that.
Aside from drawing pictures of candy and getting the shop ready for the holiday frenzy, I’ve been filling my time with a new obsession (read: hyperfixation): acrylic painting!
I’m not very good at it, and I have zero formal training in the technical side of things… But damn it, I’m having a lot of fun!
Here’s one of my recent favorites:
And you can find more in my ever-growing gallery right here!
These aren’t available on Etsy (at least, not yet) because I’m not even sure whether I want to sell them or not. But if you see one you gotta have, send me an offer!
Well, that’s all from me for the time being… Don’t forget to shop the sale while you can, and stay happy!
Love,
Rosie at Scatterbrain Studios
