Hello and Happy almost May 2025! 🎉 It’s been a little while — okay, maybe even a few months — since I last popped in with a blog post.
But today, I’m thrilled to be back and ready to dive back into sharing with you! I’ve missed being in this space, and I can’t wait to reconnect and bring you along on all the creative goodness ahead.
Let’s jump back in a few updates! When life gets crazy the first thing I tend to drop is blogging. Sad but true! You can always find my videos over on my YouTube Channel HERE!
My last update here was February 11th and I was talking about my Family Project Life Album. Is it just me or does February feel like a million years ago?
Life has been busy — and if I’m being totally honest, it’s been more like a three-ring circus the last few months. 🎪
Violet and Andrew have been wrestling with school struggles (and winning about half the rounds), I’ve been recovering from a minor health hiccup, and of course, life didn’t get the memo to hit pause while we sorted it all out. Because, you know, life just loves a good plot twist.
We are speeding toward the end of the school year at 100 miles an hours! Honestly, if you ask me, it still isn’t getting here fast enough. 🚀
In the middle of all the chaos (and occasional moments of wondering if we’ll actually survive it), I’m doing my best to find those little pockets of calm and soak it all in…
Speaking of moments to soak in this last weekend was Kayla’s Jr Prom! It’s amazing how fast 17 years has gone. (I’m not cry.. those are not tears!)
Now that we’re all caught up on life lately, let’s jump into some crafty fun! 🎨
First up, I’m sharing a little crafty haul with you — but with a twist. I’ll be chatting about how my approach to buying supplies has totally changed. Things are much different to when I was a full-time Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Spoiler: it’s a lot more relaxed these days (and maybe a little more fun too!).
All the Crafty Things:
➡️ Amazon Store Front – You find the twine, washi tape and paint markers here.
➡️ Concord & 9th – You will find the stamp pads, and dies here.
➡️ Ali Edwards – You will find the Quarterly Scrapbook Kit & Stories By The Month here!
This month’s Projects:
Tuesday’s – Project Life Weekly: I will be working my way through April 2025 & sharing a pretty big change to my process and what I am documenting.
Friday’s Stamping Fun: I want to discuss the basics of stamping with you and some fun things you can do with stamps. This is something I was planning on doing February. I’m so happy to finally be diving into this topic.
