New I Lost My Joy (But I’m Finding It Again)

From Chaos to Confidence

Hey love,

Can I be honest with you for a second? When I first started crafting, it felt like magic.

Creating something with my hands—watching a blank shirt or journal come to life—it gave me a sense of calm, purpose, and pride.

But somewhere along the way… I lost that spark.

I was doing all the things. Cricut one day, sticker sheets the next, digital templates, KDP books, t-shirts, tumblers, party favors, planners… it beca

me overwhelming. I wasn’t creating from joy—I was creating from pressure. Like I was on the ADHD express train with no conductor, just trying not to fall off.

And if you’ve ever felt that way, like you're hustling in five directions and still not moving forward—I see you. Because that was me.

So here’s where I’m at now:

I still love crafting.
I still love designing.
But I want to reconnect with the things that light me up.

That means:
✔ Going back to my favorite crafts—t-shirts, journals, and party favors
✔ Simplifying how I work so I can actually enjoy creating again
✔ Finding ways to include just enough digital—like printable journal pages and party favor templates
✔ Teaching others what I’ve learned so they can avoid the overwhelm I went through

This isn’t a rebrand. It’s a reset.

A soft pivot. A permission slip.
For me. And maybe for you too.

If you’re also looking to slow down, get intentional, and actually enjoy this creative life we’ve built—I’d love for you to stay on the journey with me.

Because I truly believe we can still build something beautiful, even if we do it one (well-loved) craft at a time.

The sticker drive is still open, by the way—because even in the middle of a pivot, there’s still room for play. If stickers are your jam, come join us and grab this month’s sheets while they’re live!

Stay Sassy. Stay Classy. Stay Bad Assy.
