Insider Members,
Woweeeeee it has been quite the week! I launched my Bible bookmark collection last week and oh my goodness…… y’all’s orders came flooding in!!!!
Over 245+ bookmarks have sold 😱😍🥹🥳
The bookmarks become a “BEST SELLER” on Etsy due to the amount of orders and all the sweet reviews many of you have been leaving in my shop! 🥹
I can’t thank you all enough 🫂 🫂 🫂 🫂 🫂 🫂 🫂
It has been an absolute blast getting to package of all of your orders…even though some nights I was staying up past midnight and up till 3am to get things packaged and shipped out in time 😅 it has all been worth it though!
💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌
Y’all’s orders aren’t just helping support my journey, dreams, and mission, but are helping some wonderful people as wellwho are doing incredible things to share the gospel with those who haven’t heard it and help those in need in areas I can’t reach on my own.
Portions of my art sales are donated to Endless Pursuit Ministry. The founder of this ministry is a close friend of mine. It’s a blessing to witness the work God is doing in and through her life as she is a fulltime missionary spreading God’s living Word across the world wherever He calls her to be. She’s recently been serving in the Himalayas teaching the Gospel, art, and dance to children ❤️
If you wanna bless her with a financial gift or monthly support here is a link to her giving page!
Her and I are planning on meeting up again soon and I can hardly wait!
Also a portion of my art sales is donated to Surfing Servants which was founded by Matt Novak and is a registered 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to deliver clean drinking water filters to as many families as possible. A few years ago during annual trips to El Salvador, Matt discovered that local families and their children had limited or no access to clean drinking water. Surfing Servants provides Sawyer clean water filters to communities in need and over the past years they have been sending filters off with family and friends who are traveling out of country and handing them out to those in need. So far they have been able to reach the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Congo, Pakistan, El Salvador, and multiple areas in Mexico and have given out 1,000+ water filters that have provided clean drinking water to 5,000+ individuals!
So thank you all again for your orders! The art you collect does more than just bring you some joy 🥰 but also helps those in need and helps the Gospel get spread.
I’d also like to mention if anyone else is thinking of placing an order from my Etsy shop to get bookmarks, stickers, and/ or prints I’d recommend placing the order within this next week if you want it to arrive soon to you, because I will be traveling in July. So any orders placed in July won’t be shipped out until the end of the month when I arrive back to my studio 🫶🏽 🥰

Since I just mentioned I’ll be traveling soon I wanna share about the next edition of my monthly art print club (KEAO CLUB)
For the June edition I worked on creating an artwork inspired by the place I’ll be visiting (plus in my letter to my club members I’ll spill the beans and share where I’ll be going 🤭) and it will be a continuation into the print and letter for July’s edition.
Here is a little sneak peek of the prints and stickers 😍
I am so excited for this one, because just to share a teeny tiny bit about the story… I sketched a whole variety of seashells to represent each one of the members in the club… haha and that meant a lot of seashell sketching 😆 I wanted each one to be unique so the club members can pick their favorite seashell and hopefully color it in to represent them or members can totally color in the whole page if they want… but there is also one big painted subject in the center of the page that showcases something specific about the beautiful place I’ll be visiting!
Ooooh and I got some beachy themed stamps that I’m really excited to use on the envelopes for this edition ☺️ 🏝️ it’s the little things and details that make it extra fun and meaningful ✨
If anyone else wants to join the club to receive this month’s edition then click the button below 👇 I can hardly wait to mail out all of the art goodies and letters 🥰 🐚 📃💌📬
I have this Bible along with 2 more Bibles to get finished before I fly out! I’m eager to see the finished results of them all and will certainly share them with you soon!
Some people are still asking me about when will I open my 2028 waitlist for custom painted Bibles? And I soooo appreciate the enthusiasm, but I’m gonna have to hold off on opening it till I get a bit more back on track with my current orders this summer, then I’ll have more dedicated time to work on my website to get it ready for the next opening! Thank you all for your patience and understanding 🫶🏽
If you are wanting a custom painted Bible this year or next year…more specifically nature/ landscape themed then I recommend you check out my friend Rachel’s custom painted Bibles. She is the founder of Proverbs and Pens.
That’s a wrap for this week’s update.
Loads more to come soon!
Have a wonderful rest of your day and weekend!
God bless,
❤️🔥Bri
