“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.”

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).

All the women were focused on being present and mindful in the moment, which made teaching a little workshop even more special.
