Hey First name / friends!

 

It's Thanksgiving week for my friends in the U.S. and we are officially heading into the holiday season! I'll be spending my Thanksgiving eating khao soi and pad kra pow here in Chiang Mai, but I'm heading home to the U.S. soon for all the cozy holiday vibes. 🤗

 

I love this time of year because it's a great time to connect with family and friends and reflect on what we're grateful for. 

 

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you are having a great start to your holiday season. I'm so thankful for this incredible community of artists. You all inspire me every day with your creativity and passion!

In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought it would be fun to do a hand-lettering challenge! Create a hand-lettered piece either about something you're grateful for or with a general Thanksgiving theme. 

 

I recently put together a collection of autumn motifs that would work well on kitchen and tabletop items during this time of year. It was fun to think about how my artwork could work together on dishware for fall gatherings!

Share your thankful hand-lettering with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq and tag me @catcoq so I can see what you make!

Our recent hot air balloon challenge was a hit! Here are a few of the amazing submissions. Be sure to browse the #CreateWithCatCoq hashtag to cheer on your fellow artists!

Have a fabulous week!
