Here’s what’s been happening this week in the studio + all the Stampin’ Up! news you don’t want to miss! I’ve started setting up my office (woohoo! 🙌).

I’ve got a few ceiling spots to fix, then I’ll share a full video + photo tour once the basement is done. I’m slowly shifting things so I can paint the center area next. I’m very...

I owe you a little update! Last week (Monday, Aug 25), I got home from Phoenix after attending Jenn Dove’s Coloring Retreat in Tempe, AZ with my bestie, Jaz from Jaz’s ASL Studio. You can read up on the post about Jenn Dove's Coloring Retreat. The very next day, I jumped right into basement renovations. Yesterday was finally painting day (hallelujah!) — which is why I completely lost track of time and missed last night’s Make It Monday. (And last Monday was a no-go too because of my flight....
