I was invited to be a guest on a podcast! Take a listen....


Hello Reader,

I'm super duper excited to share that Delores Nascent of DeloresART asked me to be a guest on her podcast, The Creative Jugglejoy Podcast.

I found Delores last year when she hosted one of her 5 Cards in 5 Days Challenges. I had just finally settled on my 'niche' which was greeting cards, so this challenge came at the perfect time. In fact, it set me up for some amazing success! You'll have to listen to the podcast to hear the whole story.

Meanwhile, If you don't follow Delores yet, you should! She is a wealth of information and has many MANY classes on Affinity Designer and Procreate, as well as a thriving creative membership. Check out her website and sign up for her newsletter (at the bottom of each page).

I truly hope you are having a great Monday my friends!

Hello Reader, Happy Memorial Day! Today I'm in our camper writing this newsletter as my husband cares for our 14 year old who has an awful stomach bug. I can't handle this sort of thing, so my husband whooshed me out of the house to the camper and I am ever so grateful for him! I have recently shared that I've started offering art classes where I come to YOU. This is the way to go because it's in the comfort of your own home, with your own food / beverage choices, and your own friends or...

Hello Reader, I've been noticing a little uprising, a little slap in AI's face if you will. REAL mail, hand written correspondence, and handmade cards/postcards are having a moment. Friends, I'm talking real pens with real ink on real paper in your real handwriting. In this time where AI (artificial intelligence like Claude, chat GPT, and so many more) is taking over a LOT of the things we used to do with our own hands, the hand written or hand painted items are becoming more and more unique...
