Hi Reader,

I don't know about you, but I've been itching to try something new this spring.

That's why I've packed this month's newsletter with fresh projects, techniques, and deals to spark your imagination.

Have you ever looked at a stack of junk mail and seen the potential for something beautiful?

Our featured junk journaling workshop will show you exactly how to transform those everyday scraps into something meaningful.

It's the kind of skill that changes how you see the world around you.

Plus, don't miss our flash sale ending April 1st (no fooling!) - I've personally selected over 200 creative resources priced under $5, and they're ALL 30% off right now.

Perfect for experimenting with new creative directions without the commitment!

Grab your coffee, get comfortable, and let's explore some new creative territories together!
