Welcome to my little corner of inspiration! I started this list to share the creative hobbies that have completely transformed my everyday life—especially coloring book design and digital product creation. ✨

Let’s create, explore, and maybe even earn a little while doing what we love. 🎉

I’m very much into crafting and creating new things but sometimes I just want something to get my mind off things and do something that’s relaxing and doesn’t require much brain power in that moment lol and that’s where diamond art comes in for me. At first I wasn’t sure I would like it but my daughter wanted to do one and so I got one for her and I to do together and I was hooked. It’s very relaxing for me and I use it as a way to get my mind off things especially when I’m feeling kind of down. It’s been fun to gift them to loved ones as well. I’m really excited to share with you all of my favorite diamond art supplies. I’ve tested and tried all of these and have used different accessories in the past and these are all the accessories that have genuinely worked well and have made diamond art easier and more fun.
The lyrics for this song about Saint Nicholas were written back in 1874, but it took a long time for the first recorded version (in 1949) to hit public consciousness. There have been many cover songs since, but modern Christmas albums by contemporary singers don't tend to cover this song. It's a bit unique. The lyrics often get changed in the part where children want certain toys.

When trying to decide if I was going to plant in ground or use raised beds, just do container gardening or try vertical gardening, or even if companion planting was necessary, I had lots of questions. Though I'm just starting out, like you, I've done a lot of research on gardening methods before diving into what can be an expensive lifestyle (or hobby) if you don't plan ahead. This is what I found.

It's important to know the best place to get your miniatures and your hobby tools, so I'll tell you about some of my favorite stores where I purchase my supplies from.
My first Cricut was a cricut mini, and I realized that this machine was not what i thought it was, and ended up needing to upgrade to the explore 1. Thats when I started my little side hustle. My kids were very young and I wanted to work at home to make a little income. These items, knowing what i know now, are what I would do all over again if i could. I no longer use a cricut but I had been doing it for over 7 years, and I am still in the know every now and then about upcoming products and trends. I hope you enjoy this list :)

Adding crystal beads and charms, instead of clay beads, can dress up your bracelet and make it wearable with many different outfits and styles.

Creators that inspire me! I consume a LOT on social media. Used to be obsessed with YouTube when I was a teen-early 20s and now I spend my days rotting, but also learning, on TikTok.
I consume a wide variety of content now and love sharing profiles of those I really enjoy and believe they use their platform for good!

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.
Here are some of my fandoms (and some my family love). I'd love hearing about your fandoms too.
I love sewing, mostly clothing but also pillow shams or throws. And most of the fabrics I fall for are floral or botanical of some kind. Chinoiserie, trailing florals or heritage patterns, I'm a huge collector of fabric. Here are some of my favorite from indie designers.
We love to plan a game night with family and friends. Sometimes, it is just a spontaneous moment where we break out the games and choose what to play. Grab some snacks, drinks and you will laugh and have a great time while in your own home!
A curated set of my go-to spiritual essentials — journals, crystals, decks, and tools that help me stay aligned, grounded, and inspired. Each piece is chosen to support growth, balance energy, and deepen your daily practice.
I am a lover of binging TV shows. I honestly like watching shows better than movies. The story is richer and more intense plus you can get really attached to the characters as it goes on and it almost feels like you've lost a friend when it's done. For this list I'm going to be showing all of my favorite shows to binge while you're editing. Keep in mind these shows are all ones that you can half pay attention to and not really feel like you're missing anything. I won't be putting shows on here that require your full attention no matter how many times you've seen it (ie Game of Thrones)
Since I was a kid, I have loved stickers! From cutes animal stickers, to scented scratch & sniff stickers, and, now to journal stickers! S an adult I still collect and use stickers on everything from notebooks to water bottles to laptops!
