Simply Happy Sketchbook (Rough Cut)
January 8, 2010
I’m working on a Simply Happy Sketchbook done with the trademark CHEERUPNATION brand: fun, playful, inspirational entertainment.
I picture 20-30 pages…Something you might find at Urban Outfitters…
Take a look…and share your thoughts in the comments.





Want to see more?
Happy Friday!
…
OH! And for all you new readers, make sure you don’t miss this very, very important test!

You are awesome Brian! Can’t wait to see more of the sketchbook!
Of COURSE we do! Happy Friday, cheerupperson.
Yes, Brian, I do I do I do. I’m eating this up. Nom nom nom.
@MotherJett Only if you let me wear your ballcap!
@Penny Buy a sketchbook and get awesome jewerly by Penny!
@Valerie Watching the comments, when I get 20, I’ll post more!!
Well – I think your sketchbook needs more color than just black and yellow. I also think if you are going to market this towards kids you just might want to back off on the bar.
(I know, I’m always Debbie Downer when it comes to your ideas.) I also think you should add in some tracing paper. Not everyone can draw such great stick figures.
Love ya mucho!
Your post-it notes were what first attracted me to your site, so I think your idea is a terrific one. It’s all about the KISS format. (Keep It Simple Sweetie!) As a 5 year-old recently told me after one of my classes, “You nailed it” (with a thumbs up sign)
Lovin it! I can’t wait to see more!
HOW DO I GET ONE????
This is awesome Brian, yes I definitely want to see more!
@Oscar, thanks, I loved creating them!
@Cammie, love ya! looking for ways outside the traditional route to produce these products myself. blurb is expensive. the idea is to keep the cost low but the product remarkable!
@Ruth I’m totally all about KISS…maybe it’s my peter pan syndrome!
@P What are you talkin’ about? I love your tough love! I envision selling products for the kids like Happy Kids childrens Books, etc and other products designed for the 18 and over while still maintaining a healthy PGish rating. I think one can be funny without being vulgar or snarky. Thanks for your tips!
I definitely want more!
Will post one of these in my Facebook profile.
I like the fourth one very much. Actually, these are all funny. Nice job!
FUUUUUN…of course we want more. I mean, really, what do ya think?
Ummm…perilously? penilously?
@texasholly, hey nothing is as FUN as those pics of your house. your boys must have so much fun every day!!!
Thanks, Hulbert, saving the best for last
I ALWAYS love your stick dudes and post-it notes. More pleazzze!!!
So funny…the ants note cracked me up. Give us more!
Love it!
And I totally just realized that I never replied to your email about publishing a book (from nearly 2 months ago? Bad Jess!) and I’m sorry to say that my “expertize” doesn’t extent to book binding and selling.
I can’t wait to see the finished product and will gladly spread the word around to everyone, though!
You = THE BEST! Always putting a smile on my face and anyone you encounter. This book is da bomb, yo!
I like it! Made me smile, so it should definitely be a product
