About

Hello! Thank you for stopping by.  This website was created in June 2016 to share my passion for art, crafts, skin care crafts and DIY upcycle.  My goal is to share with you some ideas to spark your imagination and creativity and hopefully, you can use these ideas to create similar items or create your own with a twist and a bit of imagination and love.  I fully enjoy working in arts and crafts and skin care DIY, it serves as a great tool to relax, express myself, and spend quality time with my daughter, so yes, everything is made with a whole lotta love, there is no better way. I think is a wonderful thing to allow ourselves to use our imagination and creativity to bring ideas into reality. It is also wonderful to see and appreciate the value of the things we bring to life even small DIYs.

My background is in mechanical engineering and I passionately love being an engineer. I have had the opportunity to grow my career and contribute to great projects however I’ve always had this passion for creating art and DIY burning inside. I have done lots of scrapbooking since I can remember, have lots of stacks of paintings with no space to put them, and lots of arts and crafts materials accumulated in multiple places. With work, my daughter, and just the business of life it is hard sometimes to fulfill this passion. I am sure you can relate whether you work outside of the home, from home, or have your various small businesses and homeschooling.

With this blog, I hope to create a wonderful space to share fun projects, and hope you’ll also get to know a bit about me. My intent is for you to find great ideas and inspiration to create a more complete life. I absolutely believe that there needs to be some space for creativity in our lives, and we can get it from multiple sources. I hope this blog inspires you to be creative. Creativity not only brings joy and clarity to our personal lives but also enhances our ability to solve problems in more unique and diverse ways. This is very useful in business as well.

We are all super busy these days, and whether working from home, from an office or working hard at home with the kids, it is important to be our full selves. One way we can be all that we were created to be is through our creativity, and this is a safe space to find creative inspiration.

    Marbled Clay Palette DIY

    These past few days I have been good at keeping my daily painting practice. I realized I have a few palettes, however, since I mostly use watercolor and regular gouache I sometimes keep the leftover paint in the palette since I can rewet and use it. I found myself looking for another palette and decided […]
