PODCAST GRADUATION AND SUMMERTIME



It’s Been a Minute… But I’m Back!

Hey there, crafty crew! I know it’s been a little while since my last blog post

Spreading a Little Joy—One Egg at a Time!

This Easter, I had the absolute joy of donating some fun prizes and crafty goodies to a local daycare’s Easter egg hunt—and let me tell you, it felt so good to give back. The event was held to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart. Knowing those little eggs and prizes helped bring in support for such a meaningful mission? Pure magic.

I heard the kiddos had a blast—tiny feet running, giggles echoing, and arms full of candy and prizes. That’s what it’s all about, right? Making memories, spreading kindness, and maybe adding a little sparkle to someone’s day (or basket!).

Moments like these remind me why I love being part of a community that cares. Here's to more joy, more giving, and more egg goodies

Mother’s Day prep (you know how it goes… glue guns blazing and glitter everywhere!). But now that the confetti has settled and the last handmade card has been lovingly gifted, I finally have a moment to catch my breath—and catch you up!

So what’s been happening?
Well, I had the absolute joy of being a guest on the Creatives Worldwide Podcast! Episode 5 is called "The Road to Crazy Cat Lady Crafts" (because obviously). We talked all about my journey, the ups and downs, the power of creativity, and how crafting has helped me navigate life with bipolar disorder. It was heartfelt, inspiring, and yep—just a little bit goofy too. If you’re curious (or just want to hear me gush about glitter), check it out on YouTube:

Caps, Crafts, and Summer Shenanigans!

Can you believe it? Graduation season is here! Seniors are tossing their caps and heading off into the big wide world of “adulting” (bless their hearts). And you know what that means—it’s gift time!

I’ve got a fabulous collection of graduation gifts ready for you to browse! Whether you're looking for something classic, custom, or totally unique, I’ve got you covered. Think beaded-handled makeup brush kits (with matching compacts and cases, of course), spa boxes for a little post-finals pampering, keychains, pens, bracelets, and so much more. Want something in school colors or personalized? I’ve got magic fingers and a crafty heart—just say the word!

And then… summer!
Ah yes, sunshine, vacations, cute bathing suits—and not a care in the world… until you get home and realize there’s a mountain of laundry waiting for you. (Oops.)

But don’t blink, because before you know it… "Here Comes the Holidays!" Yep, it’s true! My next online event with Blue Dove Events kicks off September 29, and we're diving headfirst into holiday mode. Already? I know—I’m still trying to find my flip-flops!

So what’s the plan this summer? A little organizing, a little prepping, and yes—a much-needed breather. I’m even heading to Michigan in August to visit my very best friend (cue the squeals!), and then it’s off to a workshop to level up my resin game and build up my inventory.

It’s going to be a busy, beautiful, glitter-filled summer—and I can’t wait to share it all with you. So stay tuned, stay cool, and don’t forget to check out those graduation goodies!

What’s next?
Things are settling down, but I’ve got some exciting things brewing behind the scenes—more crafts, more community, and maybe a few surprises (stay tuned!). Thanks for hanging in there with me. I’ve missed you all and if you could all keep my step-dad in your thoughts and prayers, I would be so grateful. He's currently battling stage 2 throat cancer, and doctors have also found tumors in his lungs. Our family is walking a difficult road right now, and while we’re holding on to hope and strength, we could use all the love and support we can get.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping him in your prayers.

Crafty hugs,

The Crazy Cat Lady

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Oh, you bet your lucky shamrock I’m writing a blog about fun St. Patrick’s Day facts! Get ready for a pot of golden nuggets, from why St. Patrick’s original color was blue (what?!), to how Ireland once banned pints on Paddy’s Day (gasp!). Stay tuned—this blog is going to be more festive than a leprechaun at a céilí! St. Patrick’s Day was historically a "dry holiday" in Ireland because it was considered a solemn religious feast day. Alcohol Ban: From 1927 to 1979, Irish law prohibited pubs from opening on March 17th due to the holiday's religious significance. Who Was Affected: Bars and pubs across Ireland were legally required to close, though hotels were sometimes exempt. Change in 1979: The ban was lifted, and pubs were allowed to open, reflecting the shift of St. Patrick’s Day from a strictly religious occasion to a more festive, public celebration. Since then, St. Patrick’s Day has become a major cultural and international event, widely associated with parades, public...
