May is blooming with reasons to craft!


May is one of my favorite months because of all the celebrations it can bring, Reader!

This year, as I started dreaming up a brand-new season of Flowerfest at the top of my must-get-right list? The purpose and heart behind what we create and share (psst...claim your free ticket).

And these new designs for this season?

They were made with two intentions in mind—gifting and special occasions. And let’s be honest... May is bursting at the seams with both! Mother’s Day, teacher appreciation, graduations galore, showers—you name it. And the best part?

Paper flowers are total shapeshifters that fit all those!

They have a place in everything and will not droop or wilt after a couple of days, which makes them a beautiful keepsake for cherishing memories.

Save your spot in one click, plus get all the details on how you can access all 19+ paper flower workshops right now.

We're also just days away from our LIVE kickoff event, and I can't wait to craft with you on Saturday, May 10th at 12:30 PM ET.

This is your chance to get inspired and create something heartfelt, just in time for Mother’s Day on Sunday.

During the Live, we will make mini woodland blooms together. I'll be doing some giveaways (hint: Maker 4) and covering all the details of the main event workshops, which will go from May 15th to the 17th.

And don’t worry if you’re a beginner—I’ll walk you through every step so you’re ready to bloom on your own. 🌿

Reader, imagine I handed you a book and said, ‘Fill this with your dreams, a grand vision, and goals for your life.’ What would you put in it? As adults, most of us would have no clue, so we would place that book aside to collect dust. Now, when I handed my kids a book and said, "Fill this with your dreams/goals for your future," do you know what happened? They ran off instantly and started drawing in the book, cutting out pictures to paste inside, writing ideas, etc. Why, as adults, do we...
