Comfortable With Uncertainty 07/21/2026

Comfortable With Uncertainty The Universe has been teaching me a lesson in uncertainty this month. It started with a bang (literally, the whack of metal on metal when someone hit my car). Add to it insurance, car shopping, rental car issues, new job growing pains, baby watch and a whole host of other things up in the air. It's time to get comfortable with uncertainty. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/42159260

Out With A Bang 07/07/2026

Out With A Bang It's the start of the month and I'm excited to share July's Big Three with you. I'm ready to shake things up, try something new, and ramp up my creative energy. I'm sharing how June went out with a bang and how Toastmasters inspired the card of the week. You don't want to miss this episode! /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/41987280

Camera Roll 06/22/2026

Camera Roll We often talk about backing up our photos and getting them printed. In this episode, I am sharing a quick and easy tip for getting your digital images organized. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/41733670

Intricate Die Cut Cards 06/16/2026

Intricate Die Cut Cards Oops, I did it again...I got sucked back in to the world of intricate die cuts and paper craft projects that take an hour. To be honest, I am loving it. My cardmaking style has been all about quick and easy for a while now, but I got tempted by a Spellbinders car themed release and I can't get enough! Want to see what all of the fuss is about?

Something for Everybody 06/09/2026

Something for Everybody Lots to catch up on this week including my favorite new dies from Spellbinders, June's big three, and my theme for this summer. I've got something for all my paper crafting buddies - junk journalers, scrapbookers, card makers, and planner girlies! /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/41580920

Complicated 05/20/2026

Complicated I'm inclined toward complexity. I love the layers, the depth, the extras in a lot of cases. The one place I'm finding I don't need them is my craft table. My crafty goals are simple: one - have fun, two - celebrate connection. I send simple cards 98% of the time because what I value most is sending the message that someone is important to me. I don't need to spend hours on a card or scrapbook page to say that. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/41361925

A Creative Experiment 05/12/2026

A Creative Experiment How does baking a fancy cake relate to my experience at my craft table? My creativity experiment reminded me of the basics of my preferred work style and even the importance of keeping my energy up with music. Most important of all, it reinforced the message of focusing on the effort, the sentiment, and the emotion instead of perfection. Listen in for the details! /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/41259580

May Big Three 05/05/2026

May Big Three This Spring just seems to be passing so quickly. I don't want to let my days rush by and find myself on a hamster wheel. I want to use my paper crafting hobby to support my dreams and goals. One of the ways I do that is by playing a game called the Big Three. Each month I plan three things that light me up and get my creative jiuces flowing. Then I scrapbook those events. I get the joy of anticpating them, the joy of the experience, and the joy of documenting the memory in my album. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/41152245

Evidence I Can Do Hard Things 04/28/2026

Evidence I Can Do Hard Things These days my favorite project is my Toolbox Journal. It's the place where I track my progress on my goals (including my 26 in 2026 list), a commonplace book, and a place to keep notes on all I am learning this year. I am especially interested in science backed behavior change. I am currently working to create a layout of evidence that I can do hard things such as finding the right auto mechanic, taking care of my oral health, and finally taking my left over paints to the tip.

Motivated 04/21/2026

Motivated In this episode, I am sharing tips for using your paper crafting hobby to bring energy to your goals and dreams. I need to manage a large, lengthy project. Over the course of roughly 15 months, I hope to manage a team of volunteers and it's important that I convey my vision clearly. The vision itself won't be enough to keep us motivated over such a long time. When the going gets tough, I am calling on my secret weapon...a dedicated scrapbook! /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40950435

Friday Night Crafting 04/14/2026

Friday Night Crafting Spring is a season of energy and change for me. As I grow into the 2.0 version of myself, I want to make sure how I spend my time reflects my values. I value creativity and connection and I often express that through card making and creating scrapbook layouts. To that end, it's time to bring back Friday night crafting. The old school crop is no longer around, but I remember it fondly. I love the idea of a dedicated time for fun at my craft table. Won't you join me? /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40864705

Q1 Wrap Up 03/31/2026

Q1 Wrap Up I'm chatting about progress on my 26 in 2026 goals including my five star reads, gardening updates, and more. Documenting these goals in my art journal allows me to use my favorite hobby to help me stay on track and build momentum. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40676625

Charlotte 03/24/2026

Charlotte In this episode I am spilling the tea on my girls weekend in Charlotte. I was thoroughly spoiled by my hostess who has the loveliest craft room and the most amazing die cutting station I've ever seen. We made time for shopping and had a special perfume adventure which was the inspiration for a card made with new supplies from the Pinkfresh Studios Couture Edit. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40600195

Equinox 03/17/2026

Equinox Let's use these last days of winter to get clear on our goals. As we move into Spring, our energy rises. It's the perfect time to move forward with our plans. I love using supplies from my paper crafting hobby to gain clarity on what's ahead for me with decorated lists, calendars, notes and quotes. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40508415

Time 03/10/2026

Time Have you ever heard of the documentary question? If a film crew followed you for a day or a week, would your values and priorities be clear from the video footage? In this episode, we're exploring my fascination with documenting the everyday, the dangers of allowing a task to fill too much time, and the joy of flow at our craft table. Plus, I want to know which new stamp releases have captured your imagination. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40377570

ChatGPT and the Big Three 03/03/2026

ChatGPT and the Big Three Every month I play a little game in my planner. Before I set up appointments and the many tasks I need to complete, I schedule three things that bring me joy. These three experiences are meant to light me up and get my creative energy flowing. They are not about the shoulds of life or even self care so oil changes, dental appointments, and even massages don't make this list. Instead, I think of artist dates...concerts, manatees at a state park, tickets to a musical. This month I needed some fresh ideas and a personal assistant. Listen in as I describe the results I was served after entering a quick prompt with ChatGPT. If you give this a try, I would love to hear about your prompt and your results! Please share on our . /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40292885

My Crafty Happiness Formula 02/24/2026

My Crafty Happiness Formula Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project, shares a lot of ideas on generating happiness. One of my favorites is about novelty, trying something new, and the right level of challenge. Dana Wilde, author of Train Your Brain, is know for saying feel good first then take intentional action to be successful. For a long time, I've put those two things together to create a personal happiness formula, but I recently modified it to this: Novelty + Challenge = Happiness Happiness x Community + Intentional Action = Success Listen in to today's episode for more and you'll also have the opportunity to weigh in on the success of my recent 'trying something new' card project. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40209970

Missing My LSS 02/17/2026

Missing My LSS It started with a punch card. I wanted to create a habit tracker to remind myself to print photos every month. I really wanted a small camera stamp and a large camera die. Once upon a time, there were five local scrapbook stores in my city. Getting a stamp or die was a simple thing. Walking the aisles, waiting for inspiration to grab me was a favorite treat. Oh how I miss my LSS. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/40132400

Valentine Fun 02/10/2026

All About Lists 02/03/2026

All About Lists It's hard to describe the satisfaction I get from a good list. It's right up there with reconciling a complex account to the penny. My art journal has a whole new set of lists (many of them inspired by the latest Bella Grace book of lists) and already the pay off has been tremendous. It may sound silly to keep a list of shows you might enjoy on Netflix, but my brother loves to recommend things I should watch. I never seem to recall them when I have free time, but now that I have my list I dutifully noted Licorice Pizza. Just a few days later I saw my note and made time to watch the film. When my brother and I caught up to discuss it, we were excited to share our ideas and insights. In fact, the conversation is one of the most memorable we've had in months. My list gave me the focus I needed to be a little more thoughtful and the end result gave me a joyful connection I'll remember for a long time. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/39974955

Paper Crafts and Planning 01/27/2026

Paper Crafts and Planning One of my favorite ways to build momentum and energy for a project is to draft a written plan and to give myself gold stars as I make progress. For years now, I have set three experiences on my calendar at the beginning of the month as the top experiences I want to give myself. The photos from my Big Three are generally my favorites of the month and I love to showcase them in my monthly layout. This year I am also working to tie the Big Three experiences in with my 26 in 2026 list. In this episode, I am sharing my Big Three plans for January and February. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/39890885

January Pages 01/20/2026

January Pages I'm on a quest to capture the everyday magic of my days, starting with the things I most enjoy about January. I love the feeling of a fresh start at the beginning of the year. I'll spend time dreaming and planning everything from mini adventures and travel to my spring garden. I'm also designing the systems I need to reset my craft space and complete projects that drain my energy. Listen in and be sure to share your January scrapbook layouts over on our . If you'd like to see more information on how I use my lemons, message me at and I'll type up all my tips and recipes for the blog. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/39794025

Punch Card Projects 01/12/2026

Punch Card Projects How would you like to use your favorite paper crafting hobby and supplies to support your goals? If you have a project with a finite number of steps or a begin and end date, a punch card might be a better option than a habit tracker. Listen in as I talk through punch card projects supporting my 26 in 2026 goals and I attempt to end my days of "riding dirty" with a punch card designed to motivate me to get my car detailed. Want to see my first punch card? .

Love For Lists 12/30/2025

Love For Lists I love a good list. I especially love a list that helps me focus on all of the good things I want to bring about in the New Year. Inspired by author Gretchen Ruben, I am hard at work on my 26 in 2026 list of the things I most want to accomplish and the experiences I most want to give myself. In this episode, I'm talking about becoming the woman who is always planning a trip and the woman who waves first.

12 Magical Nights 12/23/2025

I'm exhausted from the holidaze...baking, traveling, and crafting, but I'm taking a break to participate in 12 Magical Nights. If you want to design your New Year, this practice can help you to focus on the experiences and goals you'll include in 2026.

Behind the Scenes 2025 12/08/2025

Behind the Scenes 2025 Today's episode was inspired by a recent adventure at Disney University. I grew up in Florida and a lot of my best childhood memories include the Magic Kingdom. Disney has always been a special place for me. I've had my annual pass for 25 years, but this was the first time I drove behind Space Mountain, behind Tron and past all sorts of Disney facilities to check out Disney U! I had so much fun with this sneak peek, I thought I would offer you a quick behind the scenes glimpse at my business. /episode/index/show/bewitchedcrafts/id/39330645

No Rush 12/02/2025

No Rush If you're like me, you might find that the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are the busiest time of the year. There's so much to do but what we really want is to slow down and savor the season. Sending handmade cards to my friends and family is a priority for me, but it's still a challenge to fit crafting into my busy schedule.
