26 Workshops. 3 Days. 1 Magical Holiday Season Awaits.
Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hey Reader, When the holidays start feeling like a to-do list instead of a time of joy, creativity is often the first thing to slip away.

From November 18–20, over 26 creative experts will be opening their studios for the Elves’ Workshop Summit, a 3-day online event designed to help you slow down, create meaningful gifts, and rediscover the joy of handmade holidays.

From my craft table to yours — the Elves’ Workshop is open!
Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hey Reader, Last holiday season, I found myself untangling a strand of lights that somehow turned into a knot the size of a small basketball. The living room was a mess: glitter on the rug, cocoa gone cold, and that half-decorated tree staring back at me. For a moment, I laughed, because this is what the holidays usually look like behind the scenes, isn’t it? A mix of magic and mayhem. But as I plugged in those lights and watched the room...
Find Your Holiday Rhythm (and Your Creative Spark 🎵)
Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hi Reader, There’s something about music that makes the holidays feel a little brighter.

This week, we’re exploring how rediscovering your musical side can lift your spirit, ease holiday stress, and make this season a little more magical....
2 tools. That’s it.
Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hi Reader, I still remember the first time I used a power tool. I held the drill like it might bite me, flinched at the first noise, and somehow drove the screw in sideways. But then, I tried again. And again. And by the third time, something clicked, literally and figuratively. That’s the magic of woodworking. This week’s issue is all about helping you find that same confidence. You’ll learn the simplest way to start, which tools you...
Still think ghosts aren’t real?
Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hi Reader, Here’s what I love about October. The air feels crisper, the leaves start to whisper, and weekends call for pumpkin patches and corn mazes. It’s that in-between season where everything feels just a little more magical and maybe a little mysterious. It’s also the time of year when curiosity creeps in, the kind that makes you wonder what stories old places could tell if their walls could talk. This week’s podcast guest, Dr. Kristy...
Confession: I’m actually planning my costume this year 🧙♀️
Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hi Reader, I have a confession: I am not usually a Halloween planner. Most years, my costume comes together around 5pm on October 31st. 😅 But this year? I’m going all in on a Downton Abbey costume in honor of the The Grand Finale movie and for once, I’m actually ahead of the game. So if you’re like me and usually wing it, this week’s newsletter will give you a little creative head start. Let’s dive in 👇 🎧 NEW PODCAST If you’ve ever wanted...
