Over the years, I have given many pep-talks on bei

Over the years, I have given many pep-talks on being a creative entrepreneur. The tale of getting hired at @joann_stores almost always starts the chat. When I saw the news about JOANN struggling my heart sank because #everybodylovesjoann because they are amazing! I learned early to value my stitching, glitter & glue knowledge and for that I will always be grateful for my time at JOANN.

I worked at JOANN during high school and college. I started when I was 16 and I still have my name tag 38 years later! The store window said "Help Wanted" so I applied. I was turned away, the manager thought I wouldn't know about selling machines, reading patterns and fabrics.

I went home and brewed on the interview. The next day, I returned to the store and asked the manager to test me. She tested me and hired me on the spot.... she laughed and said that I knew more about reading patterns and machines than she did.

In high school, I made as many party dresses as I could. I remember one dance where I had made 6 different dresses on the dance floor. I even made a wedding gown when I was 17! Every single thread, button and cut of fabric was from JOANN. Swipe to see some party dresses - that is me in the center.

The journey from working at JOANN to having my Mod Podge product designs sold at JOANN is something the 16-year old me wouldn't believe. I still have flashbacks of me in the store on Friday nights teaching how to make stiffened 80’s bows with Folkart & Mod Podge products. I’m still teaching Mod Podge ideas with a bit bigger audience. Celebrating 40+ Million views on my Mod Podge videos just in the past two years.

I still remember some of my customers, managers and workmates from my time at JOANN. I can't help but think about how getting hired at JOANN shaped my entire career..... from selling TV shows and being nominated for two Emmys to pitching product development ideas and seeing my products on the store shelf. That early lesson of going back and trying again is something I will always carry with me. I’m grateful for my time at JOANN and hope that this business can find solutions to help JOANN stay open. We need fabric stores and creative outlets!

DIY 🏈 Game Day Menu Board! My favorite thing about this design is that you don’t need to be able to do any hand lettering all you need to be able to do is print your menu on a regular piece of paper. I’ve added small cup hooks where you hang your menu. I did this in a football team, but of course you could alter this to any type of party just by choosing different scrapbook paper. #crafts #tutorial #modpodge #craftideas #football #gameday #superbowlparty #superbowlfood

I'm using scrapbook paper to makeover candles! These make great DIY Valentine gifts. Look for fun paper packs at the craft store.

Step 1. Remove the label from a jar candle.

Step 2. Measure around the jar candle and cut scrapbook paper to size.

Step 3. Coat the back of the paper with Mod Podge Matte. Place the paper around the candle and smooth with your fingers. Press any air bubbles out. Top-coat with more Mod Podge if desired. I didn't because this is not a project that really needs a top-coat.

Step 4. Add stickers, tags & bows.

Step 5. Give to someone sweet! XOXO

What a year 2024 was! We had so much fun and so many adventures. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary! Miss D started middle school and joined the cheer team. Little Miss S started 5th grade… she is still dancing and doing music. Plus she stared a YouTube channel. I hit my work milestones and then some! I have exciting stuff on the horizon with work and YouTube! I made some fun props for a big movie and…..dang it….. still didn’t get the studio cleaned.

Behind the scenes it was a wild year health wise for me. I didn’t really talk about it…..but it was such a year of unknowns and tests. Enough to almost drown me in stress and anxiety. I guess that is why I was relentless in my pursuit of fun. The good news is that I was cleared of having a brain tumor and cervical cancer. So thankful and grateful.

Onward to 2025! I’m so excited for this new year! I wish you all the best that a new year brings. Love and hugs! Xoxo
