šŸ”„ The Truth I Always Knew
What’s something you’ve always known was true but took you years to admit out loud? I’ve always known I’d leave some kind of creative legacy. Even when I was little, I felt it. Like I was supposed to spark something in people. The world started calling it something I didn’t sign up for: ā€œTeaching.ā€ šŸ™„ And that word? ugh It felt like a trapped cat clawing to get out of a box. No thanks. I’ve spent most of my life resisting labels, especially that one. So let's be clear...I’m not here to teach. I'm here to walk alongside. To get lost in the messy brainstorm of creative chaos with you. I’m here to inspire and light people up. I've had to do a bit of reframing to actually show up and create this space. I don’t "teach"; I help people tap into the 5-year-old version of themselves who still believe in magic, love the creative mess, and embrace wild creativity. I don’t hand out step-by-step plans: I hold space for big ideas, brave moves, and permission to let the journey unfold. I don’t instruct: I invite people to play, to ask questions, to be curious, and to remember who they were before the world told them who they should be. If you’ve ever known something about yourself that wouldn’t shut up... even when you tried to ignore it...you’re in the right place. šŸ’¬ Tell me the part of you that keeps tapping on your shoulder, saying, ā€œHey, remember me?ā€ Or just drop a šŸŽØ or gif if you’re ready to play with that part again.

Truth! I started my creative life as a teen, art classes, art camp, art school...then life happened and art took a back seat. Furniture art has brought me back to and now it's tapping on my shoulder as you put it. Reminding me through odd ways...finding a cool easel at a thrift store, finding my way back has taken a lifetime but I feel like I'm on the verge...
Lies I Believed (and LOL Now)
At one point in my life, I believed... šŸ‘‰ I had to be consistent with one craft to be taken seriously šŸ‘‰ That creative people aren’t ā€œbusiness-mindedā€ šŸ‘‰ That I had to choose between being fun and being successful šŸ’€ LIES. All of it. I’ve burnt out trying to be polished. I’ve quieted my own brilliance to fit into someone else’s system. I’ve paused my magic waiting for a perfect plan. And the truth is? ✨ I’m most magnetic when I’m in my chaos. ✨ I’m most powerful when I’m playing. ✨ I don’t need to ā€œfitā€ someone else's strategy — I AM the strategy. The version of me that believed those lies? She was doing her best. But now? I laugh. I high-five her. I thank her. And then I leave her in the past. šŸ’¬ What’s a belief you once held that now makes you laugh a little? Or drop a šŸ’£ or GIF in the comments and I’ll pick one of my old lies to blow up tomorrow.

My Sister! She's my accountant and bookkeeper and always has my back. I'm going to create something cool with your dachshund! She loves them.
🚨 Show Us Your Creative AF Projects
Alright, creative humans… Before we do any welcoming, let’s get one thing straight šŸ‘‡ This is not a quiet corner of the internet. This is a show-up, mess-around, try-the-thing kind of space. So let’s break the ice properly: ✨ Introduce yourself by answering ONE of these: • What does AF stand for in your creative life right now? (Here's a list: What does AF stand for?) • What are you currently making, dreaming about, or avoiding? • Or drop something you’ve created recently (finished or not — we love the messy middle). No perfection No pressure. Lurkers are welcome… but rebels get noticed. šŸ˜ I'll go first šŸ‘‡

Artistically free! Painting furniture ( to sell) has burnt me out. Now I want to create furniture art as well as move to more canvas, mixed media work. Here's Tinker as inspo with a little mixed media fun.

What began as a love for French style, paint, and secondhand treasures has grown into a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and reinvention.
