Life can be challenging; decisions to make, tasks to manage and so many ups and downs. Through all of it, I find stability and calm in creative living. Simply taking a few moments out of each day to create. Whether it’s getting words down on a page in my journal, splashing some paint on paper…

This year, instead of choosing one word to focus my energy on, I will be selecting a new word, phrase or quote each week. I want a year full of inspirational and motivating words. Perhaps a whole deck full… I shall call it my Inspiration Deck! We pick up a lot of crap in our…
Do you ever feel creative but let fear get in the way of expressing yourself? Fear that you don’t have enough room to create in. Fear that others won’t like what you make. Maybe a fear of committing to a large project. Sound familiar? If so, artist trading cards might be for you! Artist trading cards,…

Hello there =) Are you ready for Christmas? I’m not but I’m ok with it. A few more gifts to buy, all the gifts to wrap and the tree should probably be decorated at some point… But as long as I’m with loved ones and calm, it’s good enough for me. Announcements: Don’t forget, this…
