Do you like buying gifts? I've always loved shopping, especially for presents.

What's your favorite word? I love words. Collecting them, learning about how they were created, finding new ways to use them, and sometimes creating words of my own! There's always more than meets the eye with them. #words #wordmeaning #wordnerd #wordoftheday #ditto

I like the sound of rain and the freshness of the air after it passes. I like a sunny day that's cold as ice, which feels right in an ironic way. I love a muggy morning for reading in the shade while sweating like a glass of iced tea. I love the changing of the seasons, when there's something different about the places you see every day. Question of the Day: What type of weather do you like best? #quote #quoteoftheday #cliche #clichesayings #writingcliches #writingprompts #writingquotes #darkandstormy #itwasadarkandstormynight #qotd #writerslife #typography #graphicdesignquotes #graphicdesign
Just keep swimming. Question of the Day: Which undersea story would you like to be transported into? #ootd #styleblogger #fashion #nerdfashion #nerdystyle #mermanpin #mermaidacessories #merfolk #pinup #pinupmermaid #pincollection #mermaidpins #pinsofinstagram #enamelpins #accessories #outfitinspo #ootdblogger #styleblogger #personalstyle
There are always those fun words or terms you learn that are specific to your hobbies or career. They mean something if you're in it, but outsiders are totally in the dark. Lorem Ipsum is a lovely Latin phrase that means absolutely nothing. Seriously. It's made-up placeholder text that designers use for creating samples. Question of the Day: What's a term or phrase related to your job? #loremipsum #graphicdesign #letteringinspiration #letteringoftheday #lettering #digitaltype #typography #typefyre #letteringquotes #handlettering #letteringdesign #digitaltype #typeform #designlife
