“What I most love about scrapbooking…is that every time I fill a page with photographs, quotes, and mementos, I am collecting proof of a good life.”
— Amy Tangerine, Craft a Life You Love
There is Always Light
Loved the ending of “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda Gorman during the 2021 Inauguration.

Ready...Set…Create is an awesome event run by the lovely folks over at Down to Details…
Celebrating 8 Years of Craftcation
Craftcation is always an incredible time. It truly is the crossroads of creativity + crafting + community + connection. The whole city of Ventura gets to feel the energy of creatives coming together to celebrate what they love to do. I get to teach classes, spend time with other creators, and build community with old friends (plus make new ones along the way). I didn’t realize this until I started putting the blog post together this time around, but I’ve been documenting Craftcation on this blog since 2013…
Your Gifts Matter
One of the best books I read last year was Stretched Too Thin by @jessicanturner. I needed to learn “how working moms can lose the guilt, work smarter, and thrive” and ended up with so much more.
Holiday Happiness

SO excited to have been invited by the ladies of Crafty Ass Female to be a guest on their podcast! It was such a blast. The three of us discussed all sorts of awesome things and played games— including “my therapist said…” and talked about how to let go of negativity in our lives…
Featured on Raven + Lily
“When women move forward, the world moves with them.” – African Proverb. I was so inspired to be featured in Raven and Lily’s site and journal. We all have that one pair of earrings or necklace that gets all the compliments and catches people’s attention. Raven and Lily’s Zia earrings are like that for me.
Sharing My Story
Choose joy! Those two words sound so easy, right? I firmly believe that looking on the brightest side of life is a choice you’ll never regret. That doesn’t make things any less difficult when facing life’s challenges…
