Hugh Jackman World Tour Highlights Chicago IL The Greatest Showman 6/21/...
One of the best shows that I have ever seen. Everything was top notch and the fact that we got to see Hugh Jackman (Wolverine, Greatest Showman, Van Helsing... ) It was one of the best. <3 This is the highlights. Omg.. best ever. I hope he tours again once all of this is over. Once in a lifetime show.

Keep Living your Dream - I am writing a Children's Book
I am so excited that after quite a few years and a whole lot of talk with everything going on with the pandemic, I decided that you know what it is now the time. I decided quite a few years ago that I wanted to write a children's book and do all of the illustrations for it as well. I have struggled quite a bit with what story concept should I start with and what's the lesson that I should teach in the book. Then came along arrived two children that I had into my life, and all of a sudden, making sure that I wrote a book that taught something or had a good lesson for them was something that I wanted to do.I can't even imagine if our book would be someday published and picked up for a New York bestseller, or maybe we could also be in every library at every school, or perhaps my book could eventually be in Scholastic where the kids can purchase discounted books to encourage reading. I think the idea of all of that has really got me excited to share this with you. I can't say too much yet until I get everything that but I'm going to tell you that over the summer we are going to publish our own first book and it is going to be a real adventure with a friend that you all know from JessicaLynnOriginal. over the next few months I will continue to share updates images and times for when we may go live to start working on the illustrations and coloring of the pages from the book. I have toyed around with the idea of also allowing some of our friends and guests to be sponsors on the book, or maybe you'll get a limited edition version, or perhaps you might get one of the original pages illustrated and colored so, please know that that's other things that I have on the horizon and I cannot wait to share more with you.
Continue to move forward and don't forget to keep living your dream,
Pivot when needed.
When I was growing up, I wanted one of two jobs I either wanted to be an animatorfor Disney or I wanted to be able to sew costumes and clothing for people that were tall or needed special fitting. I opted to go to college for costume design, and I can do most of what they do on Project Runway. When everything started with the pandemic, I had a few friends of mine who knew that I could sew. Before they could even finish ask if I would be willing to make some masks. I had already pulled out my massive stash of cotton fabric that I had been storing for years for quilts or for cute costumes for my kids that had never been used. I joked with my husband that my fabric hoarding finally had a purpose, and I jumped in and pivoted my company. To be able to afford to not only make the mask but be able to afford the cost of everything that goes into making them, I decided to opt into a model where I am donating as I can as well as making them for sale.
We are currently over 75 masks between sales and donations. I love being able to share my creative skills, and if it's something that allows us to be safe, then I am all for it. I have been sewing like crazy and I thank you for all of your love and support. It means so much to me.

An unexpected Lesson from my Dad
He had cancer and in the 80's that meant 'Good Luck'.. we will try. He used to joke that he was the oldest guinea pig. He had tried all of the things to cure him and nothing worked. He has prostate cancer which now have a five-year survival rate of 99%. That means right now if you catch it 1 out of 100 people don't make it. So please give you have a man in your life that you love MAKE THEM go and get checked out on a regular plan. Prostate cancer can often be found early using a simple blood test!! (more information: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/prostate-cancer/early-detection.html)
He passed away when I was in High School and I can not imagine trying to express as much data to a young child knowing that you might not make it and see them ever apply it. Wise beyond his time.
My art is just different, I love focusing on something that makes me unique. I feel that there is a lot of stamp companies and I love being unique and not creating what everyone else it. Only now almost 25+ years later are the lessons he taught me actually meaning something. I have two young daughters I I focus to be the best owner of JessicaLynnOriginal.com that I can be. My goal is for them to learn as much from me and I did from my Dad. I want them to be ready to take on this world head-on. I want them to be inspired to push for their dreams and the courage to get them!
So why write this?
Well, I hope to inspire you in two ways.
ONE - If you have been blessed to have little ones in your life - share with them what makes you special. Teach them how to do it too. They are watching and they want to learn. They might not know that at seven or younger, but they do! Share your crafting, your time, and your passion. You might be surprised to see what comes next.
TWO - if you have a male in your life make sure they go for regular visits to be tested for prostate cancer!

Why the change of the Blog?
So excited to be back on my favorite version of the blog.. blogger! I was here for a long time and then I thought it would be worth it to change over to another version (which was a cost each year) yeah.. no. I really didn't like the other version of my blog and people had issues with feedback and such. SO.. we are back here. I am so excited. I was going to import everything and I thought.. you know what.. clean slate. We have sold out of stamps and such.. so why rehash was is done.
2017 has been a very interesting year here in the Mould Family. We added a new daughter back in April, Miss Flynne. Our other daughter is already four and on her way to Pre-K, it is crazy to think about how fast that time went. We have just been busy from the time we wake up till bed but I wouldn't want it any other way. I did take a few month off. After 12+ years of JessicaLynnOriginal.com I knew that I was going to burn out if I didn't take some time. Family time. It was really needed and I can tell you I feel ready to bring this back and really share some amazing new art. Taking time for your mental health is a great thing.
For those of you who are new, I am the owner of JessicaLynnOriginal.com and our sister company (JLMould.etsy.com) our Etsy counterpart. I draw ALL of the art that you see in our store unless I noted it as such.
I am so excited that you are joining us on this new adventure.
