You Don’t Have to Call Yourself an Artist to Make Something Beautifuld

So many people want to write a family story, sew a quilt, or start a custom journal, but they stop before they begin because they think, “I’m just not creative.”

As your Creativity Coordinator, I am here to change that. I join you at the very beginning, breaking down the intimidating steps of storytelling, fiber arts, and self-publishing into easy, enjoyable milestones. Together, we will bring your ideas to life and create a finished masterpiece you will be incredibly proud to display in your home or share with the world.


Turn Ideas into Handcrafted Masterpieces

Fiber Arts & Textile Design

You don’t need years of training to work with fabric and yarn. I provide friendly, step-by-step guidance in classic crocheting and sewing to help you build confidence from your very first stitch.

Looking for a unique way to decorate your home? We can also explore textile-on-canvas art, mixing fabrics, textures, and layers to design a custom, tactile masterpiece that you will be proud to hang on your wall. Whether you are holding a crochet hook for the first time or creating abstract fabric canvas art, I walk right alongside you.

Storytelling & Self-Publishing

Have a family story, memoir, or book idea inside you? I help you organize your thoughts, structure your story, and navigate the independent publishing process step-by-step to get your book in print.

Custom Journals & Paper Crafts

Invitations: Win

1–2 minutes

Don’t let darkness and sorrow win.
Fight for Who you are.
ResIst the urge to quit
WheN life gets hard.

The people around you may not see
The Wonderful person you are INside,
But remember God loves the real you
That you work so hard to hide.

You may not understand
Why your heart hurts so
And relIef may seem far away
But it’s closer thaN you know.

There are trials you Will go through
But that’s part of lIving.
No one’s life is trouble-free.
The key to winNing is forgiving.

Forgive others and forgive yourself.
We all make mIstakes.
We all have regrets.
Starting New each day is what it takes.

To win.

The darkness is real for more people than you know.

The educator/social worker in me is thinking of young people today. Lifting teens, parents, grandparents, and caring adults in prayer. Remember, you are not alone.

Based on the 2015 Youth Risk Behaviors Survey, 8.6 percent of youth in grades 9-12 reported that they had made at least one suicide attempt in the past 12 months. Girls attempted twice as often as boys (11.6% vs. 5.5%) and teens of Hispanic origin reported the highest rate of attempt (11.3%), especially Hispanic females (15.1%) when compared with white students (6.8%) and White females (9.8%). Approximately 2.8 percent reported making a suicide attempt that required treatment by a doctor or nurse. For those requiring treatment, rates were highest for Hispanic students with black males (4.0%) and Hispanic males (2.9%) having higher rates than white male (0.9%) students.

Psalm 130:7 “…put your hope in the LORD, because with the LORD there is mercy and with Him there is unlimited forgiveness.” (GNT)
