Truth in Advance with Stephanie Lee | A Free Inspiration Video
I recently asked Stephanie Lee to be a part of the free Rhythms + Rituals | Finding Intentional Stillness During The In-Between. When her video came in and I was watching it for the first time, I had tears streaming down my face. Her gift of art, words and expressing emotion in whatever she does is one of her many gifts. Her video became a highlight of the whole course and the private messages I received about the impact her …
My Current Watercolor Palettes | Get the names and links
A few weeks ago in the JO Creative Community (I would love to have you join the free FB group)I shared the art supplies currently on my cart. The stars of the show were my two watercolor palettes that are a custom combination of half pans from Ocean Paper and Wildthorne. I had so many requests wanting to know exactly what colors were in the palettes that I made a short video and then labeled each color for you. …
The Big Picture Free Video | Honoring your gifts, finding balance and living a creative life that you love
Being a wife, mom, friend, business owner, household manager, school juggler and creative are some of the hats I wear. I know you are the same and probably more. I also know that if I am not intentional with my marriage, children, schooling, business, creative time etc. than I miss out on opportunities of being present in each of these areas. I am not saying it is easy but it is very much worth it. Being intentional and seeing the …

Making Hand Carved Stamps {Free Video}
Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner and it is a sweet time of year where we may take extra time to create for others and our home. Once of my favorite ways to add details to wrapping paper, note cards and tags is by making my own hand carved stamps. This is so much easier than you may think and a lot of fun to make.

Beginning your business giveaway {The best giveaway I have ever had}
I have a heart for women. I am constantly amazed at the depth, quality, beauty, talent and strength of women. I had promised myself when I first started that if I ever figured this whole thing out (and I am still learning) that I would share how I did it. Along the way I have always tried to answer emails, encourage and support other small business owners (and dreamers). I had questions at the beginning and so many didn’t want …
Video {Art Supply Basics}
Hello everyone! I am excited because today I am sharing with you my first video. Let me clarify….I did a really awesome one and the sound was bad. I did a second one and it was OK but the sound was also jacked up. I made a third as the the sun was going down, I was sick of the sound of my own voice and I was already tired of what I was saying and that is the one …
Everybody Cut Footloose
I had been wanting to watch Footloose very badly lately. Don't ask me why or judge my movie viewing choices. Maybe I was longing for 1984? All I can say is that when we finally watched it I laughed a lot more than I did in 1984! Maybe my head was cloudy from all the Aqua Net I was daily inhaling. Maybe the blue eyeshadow was seeping into my brain. If you want to feel really old…this movie came out 24 YEARS …
