For those of you who don’t have Instagram, I’m going to post my pictures from the #alphagettoknowme lettering challenge I participated in.

It began in March and should have been done by April… but I only squeaked in the last one a day or two before May 🙈

I blame travel and moving for the extortionately late finish but hey, at least I did finish it 😉😬

The point of the challenge was to make you use/practice your lettering, while helping people get to know a little more about you.

Here’s what I came up with 😉

•A is for Art and how I began creating . Though always interested in drawing/creating, one of the first things I can remember about it, is when Mom would read aloud a chapter book and have me draw what I was imagining the story to look like. Story/bonding/art time, all in one 😉💕📚👩‍👧•

•Well… this is the second #AlphaGetToKnow me day and it’s ridiculously hard 😜
Tell the ‘Best quality’? About me?! How about I just list the qualities I don’t posses instead? 😅
Sharing? Sharing my opinion maybe, but never sharing my food🙈
Compassionate? More so towards animals than humans 🐱
Thoughtful? In ways to avoid human interaction🙋🏻 #introvert
The list could go on 😏

Perhaps though, making use of my imagination is my quality? ✨💁🏻 •

•I S M A R B L E A C O L O R ?
#AlphaGetToKnowMe day three,
C is for color! It’s impossible for me to choose one favourite color but the rich hues of golds, emerald blues and marble make me awfully happy😁✨ •

•Day Dreamer • (Night Thinker)
#AlphaGetToKnowMe day four (late due to being in Malta) D is for Dream… what’s your dream? ☺️
My dream was to travel, and then my dream was to go home 🛩🌍🏡
Now I’ve been blessed to have seen over 18 countries, some multiple times and we are in the works of moving back to Canada!
Dreams one and two came true… now I’m thinking, Lamborghini ? 😏•

•…and kittens too 😁 E is for Excited, here’s my day late post, for day five of the #AlphaGetToKnowMe challenge🖊
Many things excite me, usually small meaningless things though and then I don’t show my emotions enough over the big things 😋•

•Claustro, Ranida & Anthropo { PHOBIA }
Late again on my #AlphaGetToKnowMe post 😬 but, F was for Fear and I fear little, cramped spaces, frogs and people (introverts you know what I’m saying! 🙋🏻) and many more non life threatening things. •

•#AlphaGetToKnowMe, G is for Game 🏸🎮
I’m not a big game player/sports person, unless advanced napping is a sport 🙌🏻
But playing (watching it being played) Nancy Drew computer games were some of the more memorable game evenings.
Big bro running the mouse so we didn’t get lost in the rooms, big sis wanting to run it and mom and dad watching from the sidelines.
It was torture waiting for big bro to be back from work since we ‘couldn’t’ play ahead without him 😏•

•H was for Hometown 💕🏡
I didn’t live in a town really so mine is MacDowall-ish, Saskatchewan Canada ❤👌🏻•

•I is for – in·spi·ra·tion
ˌinspəˈrāSH(ə)n/
• the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative •

My inspiration can come from my own imagination, purely out of the blue, from seeing the amazing art created by talented people here on Instagram or from the artists I know personally 😊💭🎨 •

•J was for Job and as I’m currently a housewife, I’ll mention my first memorable paying job.
Which was being paid by my big bro to give him shoulder/neck/back massages😋💪🏻
K was for Knack and I must have had one for massage if a big bro was willing to pay 💵 🤔•

•I’m going to be later and later posting the #AlphaGetToKnowMe challenges due to being in #southafrica now 😏🖋 L is for Language (and Late😋) and I speak English, though my husband would like me to learn Dutch, since you guessed it, he’s Dutch 😉•

•M was for Movie. I didn’t feel like doing an elaborate font since I’d already done this time consuming drawing awhile ago 😉❤
Favourite movie? I have many, of all different genres, but iron man will forever be a top one.. is it because of Iron Man…or Robert Downey Jr? You’ll never know 😎•

•The name Jessica is a Hebrew name, meaning: Rich. God beholds. First coined by Shakespeare for the play ‘The Merchant of Venice’

N was for Name and Jessica is mine 💁🏻 (I guess the little flowers could also represent my middle name, Rose 🌸)•

•O was for #obsession in the #alphagettoknowme challenge.
Two of my biggest obsessions?
Coffee and napping… which are probably each other’s worst enemy’s 😋☕️🛌 •

•🌍Jemstory 🐚💎 #AlphaGetToKnowMe P was for something you’ve done which your ‘Proud’ of and for me, that would be my blog, Jemstory.
It may not be much to some, but for me, sticking to it, every day for over a year and a half makes me proud 🤓•

•eat well~travel often 🗺💼🍴Q for Quote… I wanted to do something meaningful and deep but this one just kept coming back to me and it’s kind of been our motto this last year sooo 😉•

•R was for relaxing… something I’m probably too good at if I’m being honest (🙈) but I can’t think of much that is more relaxing than a good massage🙌🏻💙 •

•S was for scent/smell and these are a few of my favourites😁☕️🍋🏡🍞🏝 What’s a favourite smell of yours?•

•T is for Travel…so here’s a listing of most places I’ve been blessed to be able to go to 💕🌍🛩 (written on the back of a plane ticket that was lying around😉) •

•Be a Flamingo• 💕🐦 U was for Unique and really, a person could have an extremely long list of what makes them, them… so instead, here’s something to aspire to 😉 •

•V for vehicle… and Lamborghini is my vehicle of choice 😏😎👌🏻🖤💲 What would your dream vehicle be??•

•W was for weather and I love the tropical kind! 💕👌🏻🌴🌺🌤 (minus the hurricanes 😬) I’ll take any sunshine in general though… what’s your favourite kind of weather?? 🌡•

•X.X – Victorian slang for double excellent 👌🏻⚜️🖋 X was supposed to be for ‘X-ray’ but I didn’t want to write that, though I believe I did have a collarbone X-ray as a toddler… I won’t say who was or wasn’t to blame for that high chair incident #parents *cough, ahem!* 😉😋•

•Y is for Yummy and I couldn’t begin to list the variety (and quantity) of foods and beverages that I love, so I will take them all! Minus calamari, onions and a few others 😉 😁•

•Ta-daaa! Finally, over a month later than it should have been, the last #alphagettoknow me word was completed during a lettering class by @diamondandwillow
Z for Zodiac and my sign is Gemini♊️
It’s almost creepily accurate in its descriptions , minus the whole ‘social butterfly’ part😷
Adventurers of the mind is the twin signs motto, sometimes using witty words, puny jokes and dynamic dialogues other times they are the critic, cold and unemotional, they want to connect but in their own way. They have a youthful exuberance aaaaand you have to look up the rest 😜•

(Special thanks to @diamondandwillow for helping me grow in my lettering abilities 😏👌🏻)
