What inspires you to keep making things?
"My biggest inspirations are my children. They are constantly growing and learning about the world. They still see magic in so much and it constantly pushes me to want to create and make these magical ideas come to life. Being able to share this with other moms and makers so they can create for their celebrations, is my motivation."
What one piece of advice would you give to other makers?
"Just Make!!! Jump in and make, without fear of messing up. Sometimes, the biggest crafting oops are the best!"
What is your biggest takeaway from Making It?
"My biggest takeaway from 'Making It' is learning to get out of my comfort zone. This experience not only pushed me creatively, but allowed me to build relationships with like minded artists who became my friends. Taking the risks lead to the best people and places!"
