🎡 Sketching Summer at the State Fair 🎨

There’s nothing like going to your annual State Fair to spark those classic summertime vibes - the barnyard animals, the a-tiny-bit-rusty carnival rides, and the blue-ribbon pie pieces behind glass. I brought along one of my pocket journals and quickly filled its pages with sketches, notes, and quirky observations. Later, I tucked in a few photos and added some color. The result? A tiny keepsake that feels like summer in my hands.
✨ Creative Prompt: Next time you visit a fair—or any festive event—try capturing the experience in a pocket journal. A few quick drawings, a pressed ticket, or a simple color wash can turn fleeting moments into lasting memories.
🖨️ Coming soon: A printable version of this pocket journal will be available in my shop—perfect for your own adventures!
