This list currently highlights ~$180,000 in potential grant funding for small business owners. I'll update it regularly as new opportunities appear. Bookmark it, share it, and feel free to share with other small business owners.

An unlikely compilation, maybe, but these are the albums and playlists I keep returning to this year. They’ve become the soundtracks to my creative sessions, moments in the sun, solo dance breaks, road trips, and everything in between. In the notes for each album or playlist, I included links where you can sample the music. When it makes sense, I’ll also link any videos where I’m using these tracks during my creative play.

List tutorial of the costume prop I made hours before this year's costume party! Most of the materials, I either already had or were very cheap and accessible to grab, day-of. With a little more planning, you can really take this craft to the next level. How I Turned a Glove into Thing from Addams Family

This isn't another crap list of Amazon slop. These are my actually favorite tools for showing up and creating every day. These are the supplies that help me stay curious, experiment freely, and actually enjoy the process. I grouped everything by budget so you can jump in at any level. You don’t need fancy tools to make honest, expressive work (honestly, the scrapier, the better), just materials that make you excited to show up and play. I'm also going to start adding the pages I create with the suggested materials.

My ongoing wish list of art supplies I’m excited to try or refill. I’ve organized it into three sections, one for things I’m curious about, and one for the ones I already love and want more of, and other for items to upgrade my art studio space. These are also great gift ideas for the creator in your life.

No, I don't need any of this, but it's fine to make a list, just because… Can't a girl just window shop??

These are the materials I use every day for morning pages, my gratitude log, and the sketchbooks I’ve tried while learning my preferences for a daily creative habit. I also included a few feel-good things I use daily to signal to my body we’re in a safe cozy place to express. This list is still in progress, but I wanted to start publishing to help out beginners looking for affordable options. Bookmark it to come back to as your build your own creative expression kit.
