Hi Reader,

How on earth are we already halfway through November? Thanksgiving is basically knocking on the door, and once the turkey hits the table, the holiday shopping madness officially begins. If you want first dibs on my Black Friday specials (and trust me, you do), make sure you're on my VIP List. That’s where all the early access magic happens.

Trying Something New Tomorrow

Tomorrow I’m stepping out of my paper-and-ink comfort zone and taking a Fused Glass Art class at Shenandoah County Parks & Rec. I’m excited, a little nervous, and very much ready to play with fire in a controlled and totally legal way.

Trying something new always gives me a fresh burst of creative energy—and honestly, it’s good for all of us. So if you’ve been itching to shake up your own creative routine, consider this your nudge to register for my FREE December Fun Folds Workshop.

​
Because new techniques = new joy. And who couldn’t use more joy this time of year?

BIG NEWS: I’m Officially an Amazon Author!

I’m thrilled to share that I now have TWO journals available on Amazon:

The Crafty Design Companion

A clean, simple dot-grid journal designed for sketching out card layouts, scrapbook spreads, and all those “what if I tried this?” ideas that hit you at midnight.

Crafting Past Bedtime

A weekly planner + sketch journal with enough space to dream, doodle, and plan your creative week. A little structure, a little inspiration—perfect combo.

Both make fantastic stocking stuffers for your crafty friends… or for yourself. (Self-gifting is a love language. I said what I said.)

As always, I’m grateful for you—for reading, for crafting, for showing up with your heart open and your glue dots ready. Remember: you can’t pour from an empty cup.​ So take the time to create something beautiful this week. Even ten minutes at your craft table counts. Stay Crafty, Judy 💚

P.S. If you have crafty friends who’d enjoy all this inspiration, forward this email to them. They can join the fun by subscribing—there’s always room at the craft table. Join my Crafty Crew here.​
