This is my list of art helpers or hero’s for the crafting in me to be good and easy.
I create short-form art and printables using a mix of vintage ephemera, original photography, and layered textures—think zines, stickers, collage sheets, and visual prompt packs. My process blends analog charm (scissors, glue, watercolor, paper scraps) with digital polish (Canva, Procreate, and printable formats), making each piece feel both handmade and shareable. Perfect for creatives, collectors, and anyone who sees magic in the little things. Crafted with heart. Designed for moments that matter.
Here are my favorite Halloween and witchy background music and spooky ambience YouTube channels. Some are more relaxing than others; some of these channels lean really heavy into rain and crackling fire sounds, and some are better for background music at your haunted Halloween parties. Subscribe to a couple of channels so you have them ready for the spooky season! I work at home and often have one of these channels on in the background while I work on the computer. It helps me relax but also focus and get work done.

These are shows I’ve attended, and they’re listed starting with favorite to least favorite. I have more I’ll be adding, and some of these I wish I could out all in the same high spot, but for right now this is the order.
I use to go to shows alll year long. But now with kids it’s just hard to make it. We’ve had a couple shows like the Raconteurs and Tom Segura (TWICE) where we last minute couldn’t go. So this has hindered us from buying tix more often in this current stage. But my love for music never wavers, and I’m glad for a place to have this list and record some thoughts.
🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶
I added a comedy section as well because I also love comedy shows! Who doesn’t love to laugh!
