Weekly Challenge
Bewitched Crafts with Tracy Miller
It turns out I really struggle to resist a dare. Challenge me to do something and I have the urge to prove myself. It shows up in everything from reading challenges (check out the cool connections challenge I'm doing this summer) and even my Toastmasters journey. It's like a game and it brings momentum. It's a way to think outside the box and get stuff done. My weekly newsletter includes a crafty challenge to motivate you!

Summer themes
Bewitched Crafts with Tracy Miller
I'm toying with the idea of selecting a theme for my summer, a sort of guiding principle or clear priority for the next three months. I love the idea of this kind of clarity and I love how well it translates into a scrapbook. Now if only I could narrow it down...summer reading, adventure, connection?

Toastmasters and Storytelling
Bewitched Crafts with Tracy Miller
I recently attended my first Toastmasters conference. Reflecting on my Toastmasters journey, I've learned that this organization is about so much more than public speaking. It truly is about finding your voice and learning to share your unforgetable story. Learning and growing with this incredible community has my creative energy flowing. I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Embarrassment of Riches
Bewitched Crafts with Tracy Miller
Welcome to the April wrap up. I'm currently planning my scrapbook layouts and many of my favorite photos came from the Big Three events we talked about at the beginning of the month. There was so much good stuff going on in April! To much of a good thing left me with a large number of competing priorities, a messy house, and an urge to plan for more balance next month.

Reunion
Bewitched Crafts with Tracy Miller
My 35th high school reunion is this coming weekend. As someone who is painfully introverted, social skills are something I work on. I decided to try the ice breaker "what's keeping you busy these days?" I'm also sharing how my Cloudy Stencil solved a case of crafter's block.

Confession time. I have an incredible collection of bunny stamps. I put rabbits on garden themed projects, Spring, Easter, and even baby themed projects. I love bunnies. How did I come to be obsessed with rabbits? Get ready because in this episode, I am sharing my famous bunny story.
