Good morning π€ My snooze button got a lot of use today. Have a great Monday ππ
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers! π My dear sweet aunt, ReeRee, went to be with the Lord this morning. And while those of us who are left behind are grieving for the missed moments we'll never have, we are comforted to know that all of her pain and suffering is gone! Please continue to pray for our family (especially my mom - her sister) that we have peace, strength, and comfort. π
Good morning π Happy Saturday! Have a wonderful day today! Anything on the agenda? Or just some r&r?
This craft from the dollar tree was a fun way to wrap up our first day of school this week. π It came with 6 plates and 6 sheets of fall cut outs. All you needed was glue. It was a fun way to spend some family time together. Guess which one is mine! π
Good morning β¨ TGIF β¨ Have a wonderful day! ππ
Please keep our family in your prayers ππΌ We are anticipating the dreaded phone call any moment now that my beloved aunt, who we just traveled to Kentucky to see, is no longer suffering. We are comforted to know that she will be headed straight into the arms of Jesus and towards the loved ones who we lost before her, including her parents, her older brother, and her husband. We need lots of strength and comfort right now. π
Always! And don't forget about fri-ends π Happy Thursday! ππ
Painted Books: how to turn used books into home decor π
Let's craft! Going live at 5pm EST!!! ππ
I mean, basically! ππ
π€ Two things I absolutely love: π€
β¨ Fresh Coke from Mickey D's
π Beautiful flowers (just look at these colors!)
I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday! (Almost said Monday. Yesterday threw me way off.)
I am so very proud of these pumpkins that I made! π What do you think???
Here's a little secret! π€« I used Dollar Tree finds!
π Facebook recognized me as a top rising creator this week! This is such a big deal!! How exciting!! You helped to make this possible for me! Loving on me and my content! I appreciate you so so very much! ππ₯°ππ
Good morning ππ Have a blessed day, y'all!
Happy September, y'all! π Can you believe we've made it this far into the year already? I pray that the Lord blesses you with peace, joy, and happiness this month and through the remainder of the year! What's something you're looking forward to this month? ππ
Wooooo dooooggie!!!!! I am pooooooped!!!!
I have had the most productive day! I've done a ton of Fall crafts to put in the shop. And I even got some homeschool planning done. It feels good to feel like I've gotten some things checked off my list! ππ
Tell me how your day was! Did you go anywhere?
I wanted to love this chenille yarn so bad. But I just don't. It's just not easy to work with. At all. But it could be user error. Or it could be that it only cost $1.25 π Oh well, back to the drawing board with this project. Yarn pumpkins will just have to wait!
Have y'all used this DT yarn before? What did you think of it? Have you made any yarn pumpkins before?
Let the countdown begin, y'all! ππ πΌπ€ΆπΌβοΈβοΈπ² Who's ready to skip ahead to Christmas??
Oops I did it again π«£π«£π«£ My unpacked their Fall boxes and my partner in crime and I got all the things πππ Are you making/buying any Fall decor yet?
Tis the season ππβΎ
We love this time of year! The sun sets sooner, the air gets crisper earlier, the buzzing of the stadium lights. My snuggie is washed and ready to do its job keeping me warm on ball nights!
With that said, our schedule is getting busier and busier. Between church activities, homeschool gatherings, sports, and family time, there's little room for much else. I'm also taking on a part time job providing childcare at church for those attending Bible studies.
All that to say, be patient with me and my availability to hang out live with y'all and craft. I have the absolute best of intentions and I want it to be convenient for everyone, but it might seem sporadic and inconsistent with the time of day it's happening.
My plan is to create a post/story/reel with my anticipated times. You may get lots of notice, but you may get very little. I will try to schedule events as often as possible to keep you in the loop so that way you can RSVP and get reminders/notifications.
I can't tell y'all how happy I've been lately being in my creative space and hanging out with you friends again! My cup runneth over! Thank y'all for staying patient and for being here showing your support. You mean the world to me!!!
And if you're a sports family, too, may God give you comfort and peace as the overwhelm makes its way in as the Fall season ramps up. We've got this!!!!
Happy Thursday βοΈπ
I made a busted canvas!! Y'all I am so proud of myself! Is it perfect? No way. Do I still love it? You better believe it! I think this was a pretty cool technique and I'm really looking forward to mastering it! What do you think? Do you like the busted canvas look?

Good morning! βοΈ Happy Wednesday, y'all!
Hey!! I had to make a new crafting account on Instagram so I hope this isn't too confusing for y'all. This post is coming from the new one: . (I'm completely locked out of the other one so don't feel like you have to keep track of it anymore.) I hope you'll consider following along with my crafting journey on either platform! I have lots of content on FB already so I'll slowly add to IG, too. I'd love to know how far and wide y'all are finding me from. I'm from Coastal Virginia! πππ
Let's test out a few ways to do the chippy paint technique and then let's use the winner to create a craft!

My favorite place to be in the Summer. Soaking up the sun and breathing in that salty air. #happyplace What fun things have you done so far this Summer?
In case you were wondering... ...you are enough!!! Can you spot my mistake?? Comment when you do! And remember, even though we're imperfect, we are enough!!! ππππππ
Back with another one of my favorites... Clean Up Time! It just really makes doing the next project so much easier and enticing! Listen out for a sweet little toddler voice, too! π₯° Don't forget to share this video!
I'm a sucker for a graphic tee! And I was in the mood to make one! So I did! I've done the whole cricut thing and heat press. Even used to have a business selling shirts. But I've gotta be in the mood for all that work. This new shirt turned out great and it was super quick to knock out. What do you think? Also, when did bruh become a thing?! π€¨ Like for more!!!!
Surprisingly...this is my favorite part!! The clean up!!!! I love seeing a clean space ready to go for the next creation. It motivates me and encourages me to make more! Kind of like if our kitchen is messy and we don't want to clean first, just to mess it up cooking, to then have to clean it again π Take a little time after each creation to make your workspace look inviting so that way you'll come back soon. Follow for more!!!!
What do you see? Do you see organization? Do you see pretty colors? Do you see a fun way to relieve some stress and decompress? I see those things, too! But you know what else I see? Flaws. Imperfect. Mistakes. But I don't even care about those. You know why? Because in the end, my project turned out so pretty and has meaning to me. While it's on display this Easter season, I'll be reminded of what this holiday means to us, and I'll also see have a beautiful reminder that our creations aren't meant to be perfect. Our creations are a reflection of us. And I don't know about you, but I know I am flawed and imperfect. But I'm also wonderfully made. Just like my sweet little project I can look at when I need that gentle nudge.
Too intimidated to start crafting because you're overwhelmed at the thought of everything you'll have to buy?? You literally only need 4 things!! 1. Squeegee - to spread your paste or ink across the silk screen 2. Chalk Paste or Chalk Ink - our paste is reusable and our ink is permanent (each jar has a ton in them so they'll last awhile) 3. Surface - the item in which you're crafting on, in this case, a cosmetic bag 4. Stencil Transfer - the silk screen design you'll push the paste/ink through with your squeegee so that you don't have to design anything yourself. Use our pre-designed transfers instead (especially good for those cute fonts that are hard to replicate!) and can be used up to a dozen times, or even more!!! Let your inner crafter out and make something pretty!!! Start small if you have to! Tell me your favorite colors and your home decor style and I'll help you pick the perfect project!! Comment π¦ and I'll help you decide!!
If you're a messy crafter like I am, mistakes are bound to happen! Don't panic and do your best to correct the problem. If you can't fix it, just embrace it and roll with the punches! Don't be afraid to start because you think it won't be perfect. Nothing ever is. Have fun with it and enjoy the process! Happy creating! P.S. our Chalk Ink is only permanent on fabric once it's been heat set. You still have a window of time to correct what needs fixin! Watch this video to see how!
β¨ New shirt created by my 11 year old! β¨ Watch this video as she walks you through just how easy it was for her to zhuzh up one of her plain t-shirts. Don't you just love the color combo she went with?? And this saying is just perfect for her! Anybody else a bookworm like she is? ππ π Show some love if you want more tutorials from my tween! π
Colors not vivid enough?! To make colors pop when painting wood, try using a light color, like white, first, allow it to dry (I sped up the process with a quick dry tool) and then use your color! Major difference! Comment DRY for the link to the tool I used! . . . . . . #craftymamajenny #chalkcouture #paintedwood #paintinghack #diyprojects #craftingcommunity
I think the way I feel when I see all of these candy stores must be how the gamblers feel when they see the machines!!! π₯°ππ€ͺππ«
If I had to describe Vegas in one word? Experience!!!! It has been such a cool experience and I'm so glad we've been able to check it off of our bucket list!
Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?
All women deserve to feel beautiful no matter what their shape or size is. And I'm determined to help them to see their beauty and feel fierce so that they are able to love themselves and can then pay it forward to other women!!!
