Cultivating Creativity

I am constantly amazed at what my brain comes up with when I let my creativity out to play. But it hasn’t always been this way. I had a time when illness made concentrating long enough to enjoy my hobbies very difficult. I knew that making things was good for me, yet struggled to get started.

Fall 2026 Workshop dates are here!

With my experience and passion for promoting creative pursuits, I’m now offering a workshop. Designed to help others that might be in the same situation I was. Join me and let’s get unstuck.

The Crafty Chipmunk Blog

Were you able to fill in the hidden word in this photo? “I trust the next chapter because I know the author.” This quote has been such an important touchstone for me. Retiring a bit early from my career and starting a business promoting creativity has required a great deal of trust.

Trust in the process. Trust in myself. And trust that others may be helped by my story and some thoughtful encouragement.

So, I invite you to stay curious with me and think about how creativity can help us live with more ease. I’m glad you’ve joined me here.
