June Recap

As always, another month just seemed to fly by! I can hardly believe how quickly time passes. This is one of my favorite months, and it was packed with activities I truly enjoyed: thrifting, gardening, painting, and journaling. I even had a wonderful one-on-one video call with a friendly YouTuber from the Seattle area. It was such a joy to meet her and chat about all things art!

I celebrated my birthday this month, and my family spoiled me once again! I received thoughtful gifts like bird feeders, art supplies, and organizers—just in time for my creative space revamp. I've been busy donating things and clearing out clutter so I can really focus on making new art. My space also holds all the materials I need for shipping out the items I sell.

Speaking of creating, I’ve made some exciting progress in my creative art business! I finally listed my ephemera packs, 'Blind Date with a Journal,' 'Blind Date with a Junk Journal,' and my pen pal subscriptions on my website. I’m thrilled to be moving forward and sharing these special items for sale.

My husband and I had the chance to see One Vision of Queen with Marc Martel at the Palace Theatre—what an incredible, high-energy show! Afterward, we took a long weekend trip to Portland, Maine, and even brought our dog, Charlie, along for the adventure. She was such a good girl and absolutely loved meeting new people (she soaks up all the attention!). Portland is such a charming town filled with art, delicious food, and cute shops. We had a fantastic time soaking in the local culture and can’t wait to visit again.

I also started volunteering a few hours a month at our local Book Nook, a cozy used bookstore that supports our town’s libraries. It feels wonderful to give back by doing something meaningful, and it’s a great excuse to find new books (and donate some of mine, too)!

June 2025 is definitely one for the history books—or in my case, my journal pages! Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me on the blog.

Remember, life is short—so live it creatively and joyfully!
