All my life I have always had a passion for art and design. I was always drawing, coloring, or creating something. After highschool I continued that passion into college and recieved a bachelors degree in art and design. As of now I have had art published in magazines, featured in stores for purchase, in art shows, created logos for businesses, and now designing art for print on demand products or digital downloads. I also design journal covers for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Not to mention countless craft projects. This list has my favorite designed products, art I love that inspire me, and supplies to start designing on your own. It is never too late to follow your passion, just take that first step and go for it.

Puzzles are my forte. I thrive when challenging my patience and ingenuity with any of the four types of puzzles, including jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles, number puzzles, and even puzzle games. My portfolio consists of each, and I'm always excited to share my enthusiasm with other dissectologists (a big word for someone particularly fond of puzzles like me).
Painting is a way for me to de-stress. I prefer water color if I'm just sitting down to paint, but paint by numbers, the harder, the better, are my favorite! I always keep acrylic paint on hand as well!

Note: while a lot of the things in this list are free, there are a few affilitate links from which I may receive a small commission.

I once asked someone whether a watercolor that I saw on vacation was worth the price. He responded, 'Well, is it worth it to you?' That response taught me that everything has a relative value. Art, while considered a luxury for some, can bring joy for many years - more so than that dress you'll wear twice. Invest in art and you'll not only fill some space on your wall but have beauty to enjoy in your home for years to come.

I started in an apartment complex and while you may not want to purchase the power tools (because of the noise) the rest of the items will be invaluable for learning the basics of wood working.
Whether it’s a full day of lectures or just a quick coffee run and library stop, my bag kind of does it all. It’s part college survival kit, part everyday carry—and yes, it somehow manages to hold everything I think I might need (plus a few random things I probably don’t).

Growing up, I was always drawn to crafting. I remember making beaded and wire jewelry to sell at local craft shows and crocheting little outfits for Cabbage Patch Kids to sell at school. As life got busier with work and other responsibilities, my crafting supplies gathered dust. But when the world slowed down during the pandemic, I found myself with time to rekindle my love for DIY and crafting. Rediscovering the joy of creating something with my hands reminded me of how rewarding this hobby can be. With that excitement in mind, I carefully curated this Crafting Essentials Starter Kit – a collection of must-have tools and materials for anyone ready to dive into DIY projects. You don't need every item right away, but it’s amazing to have these supplies on hand whenever creativity strikes. From basic crafting tools to beginner-friendly DIY supplies, this list has everything to kickstart your journey into the wonderful world of crafting. Whether you’re new to DIY or picking it back up, I hope these essentials inspire you to create and explore.

If you get way too excited over your fandoms (same), then this list is for you!
Fandoms are like built-in friend groups where everyone just gets us, whether we’re debating who should’ve survived on The Walking Dead, rewatching Gilmore Girls for the fifteenth fall in a row, or yelling at the TV during Survivor tribal council. There’s something comforting about being part of a world where everyone speaks the same language of quotes.

You definitely can! Just like anyone can cook, you can learn too! I just picked it up and I love everything there is to it. WARNING: it requires patience and lots of trips to hobby lobby or your local thrift or fabric store to get cheap fabric! :) I made a list of everything I have and everything I actually use! Hope this helps for my beginner sewers. If you need a sign to just jump in, I believe in you!
Tried, tested, and directly compared by someone who has been journaling for over 10 years, has 4-5 journals going at any given time & has always erred on the more “budget” side of things, but is willing to splurge when something is *really* worth it 👀 If you are also an avid journaling babe, or you just wanna know what someone who does it actually uses, check this out because I will definitely be keeping this updated as I test & find new things!
If you are like me and need series you can also watch after a long day and you also like a bit of kids shows, because they just have the right amount of drama? 🥰
Then you came to the right place!
The title pretty much says it all! I have a short attention span when it comes to hobbies and I'm also very easily distracted by shiney new hobbies! Allow me to share with you the hobbies I've tried and have either failed at, found something shinier to try and even some that I still revisit sporadically!

I’ve really dove into the tcg collection community recently. I am treating it as a business. I do love collecting. I own everything in this list or I’m actively using the application. I restarted my Pokemon card collection journey 6 years ago. I have expanded to yugioh and one piece as well. In my early life I used bulk boxes for all of my sports cards. I recommend binders with side pockets to prevent card damage.

TV shows that I can watch over and over. Comedies and dramas, these series are some of my favorites and ones that I can start over as soon as I finish them.
These past few years, I have found a new love of doing jigsaw puzzles - I find it to be a surprisingly chill activity and it really helps me to relax and just sit down and focus on a puzzle, and nothing else. It's my perfect wind down activity after my kiddos go to bed (and a nice little glass of Pinot Grigio pairs well with that also 😏). Here are a few of my favorite ones that I have done this past year. (Note - Ravensburger is my favorite brand, but I do touch on some other brands as well). Also, I don't currently have anything to recommend that's over 1,000 pieces, simply because I just don't have the space for it, so I have not done those :(
Digital downloads are an easy and cost effective way to get one of a kind art printed they way you want or need it. I personally have painted items available for digital downloads and allow customers to use them for third party printing to sell on their e-commerce platforms. It is a win win for everyone since you can print the image as many times as you want and the artist get to keep their precious original copy. As an artist myself sometimes it is hard to sell a piece that you love and put so much time into.
This is just a list of creators who I have come across, and what I found to be inspiring about their channels. I will add more as I come across them, and as my time allows!
