There are some changes coming to the Maker’s Box… and while I’m not sharing everything just yet, it felt like the right time to start letting you in a little behind the scenes.With the two-year anniversary coming up, I’ve been reflecting on where the Maker’s Box started, how it’s grown, and what I want this next year to look like. In this episode, I’m sharing a little bit of that journey, along with a few things I’ve been working on behind the scenes—including opening up the vault of past designs, new curated paint bundles, and a peek at what’s coming next.I’m also talking about a three-day workshop I’ve been dreaming up—something hands-on where you can actually create with me and explore all the possibilities with the products you already love.If you’ve been part of the Maker’s Box, are curious about it, or just love all things vintage, creative, and DIY… this episode is for you.You can find more of what I’m working on over on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.Thank you for being here!  Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep upcycling!See you in the next episode. 💛Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week! I’m giving YOU more ways to experience the magic of the Makers Box—and I’m launching a brand-new creative community too!Makers Creative Community, where you’ll find:• Monthly DIY challenges• Live styling sessions• Quarterly Zoom projects• Early access...VIP perks & behind-the-scenes peeks• A space to connect, create, and grow with fellow makersYou’ll now have three new ways to join in:• Makers Box: Paper Lovers – for those who adore vintage-inspired decoupage & rice papers• Makers Box: Paint Lovers – for the DIYers who live for curated paint collections• Makers Box: Digital Press – for printable lovers who want instant access to my exclusive designsAnd for those who want the FULL creative experience—the original Makers Box still delivers it all:• 2 Exclusive Roycycled decoupage papers• 2 Exclusive The Painted Photographer rice papers• 2 DIY Paints• 2 Fusion Mineral Paints• 1 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint• 1 specialty decoupage napkin• 5 Exclusive printable digital downloadsAll curated and coordinated with love.

In today’s episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m sharing the story behind Antique Acres — one of my favorite vintage events of the year, and the only vendor event I still choose to do.I’m talking about what makes Antique Acres so special, how it all started, why this event feels so different than the many shows I used to do, and how this season of life and business has taught me to simplify, pivot, and hold onto the parts that still bring me joy.If you’ve ever outgrown something you once loved… or found yourself craving a slower, more meaningful way of creating and living… I think this episode will really resonate with you.In this episode, I’m sharing: what Antique Acres is and why people love it  my old life of constantly being on the road doing vendor events  why I stepped away from most shows  why Antique Acres is the one I still say yes to  and how this event still fills my creative cup in the best way If you love vintage finds, decorating, collected spaces, and the heart behind creative living, I’m so glad you’re here.Thank you for being here!  Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep upycling!See you in the next episode. 💛Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week! I’m giving YOU more ways to experience the magic of the Makers Box—and I’m launching a brand-new creative community too!Makers Creative Community, where you’ll find:• Monthly DIY challenges• Live styling sessions• Quarterly Zoom projects• Early access...VIP perks & behind-the-scenes peeks• A space to connect, create, and grow with fellow makersYou’ll now have three new ways to join in:• Makers Box: Paper Lovers – for those who adore vintage-inspired decoupage & rice papers• Makers Box: Paint Lovers – for the DIYers who live for curated paint collections• Makers Box: Digital Press – for printable lovers who want instant access to my exclusive designsAnd for those who want the FULL creative experience—the original Makers Box still delivers it all:• 2 Exclusive Roycycled decoupage papers• 2 Exclusive The Painted Photographer rice papers• 2 DIY Paints• 2 Fusion Mineral Paints• 1 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint• 1 specialty decoupage napkin• 5 Exclusive printable digital downloadsAll curated and coordinated with love.

Creativity can often start as a personal journey, something we do quietly in our studios or craft rooms. But over time, I’ve realized that creativity becomes even more powerful when it’s shared.In this episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m talking about the incredible impact of creative community and why creating together can inspire us in ways we never expected.From our Monday night lives to the Maker’s Creative Community, the Maker’s Box creative team, collaborations with other creatives, and the Vintage Soul Creative Retreat, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when creatives come together to share ideas, encourage each other, and grow creatively.We’ll talk about:• How creative community builds confidence• Why collaboration makes us stronger as creatives• The beauty of different perspectives and styles• How surrounding yourself with like-minded creatives can expand your inspirationI’ll also share a special story from the Vintage Soul Creative Retreat that perfectly captures what creative community is all about.Because creativity isn’t just about the projects we make.It’s about the connections we build along the way.Thank you for being here!  Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep reimagining.See you in the next episode. 💛Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week! I’m giving YOU more ways to experience the magic of the Makers Box—and I’m launching a brand-new creative community too!Makers Creative Community, where you’ll find:• Monthly DIY challenges• Live styling sessions• Quarterly Zoom projects• Early access...VIP perks & behind-the-scenes peeks• A space to connect, create, and grow with fellow makersYou’ll now have three new ways to join in:• Makers Box: Paper Lovers – for those who adore vintage-inspired decoupage & rice papers• Makers Box: Paint Lovers – for the DIYers who live for curated paint collections• Makers Box: Digital Press – for printable lovers who want instant access to my exclusive designsAnd for those who want the FULL creative experience—the original Makers Box still delivers it all:• 2 Exclusive Roycycled decoupage papers• 2 Exclusive The Painted Photographer rice papers• 2 DIY Paints• 2 Fusion Mineral Paints• 1 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint• 1 specialty decoupage napkin• 5 Exclusive printable digital downloadsAll curated and coordinated with love.

Last week we talked about scraps — letting go of perfection and simply creating with what you already have. But after that episode, and after kicking off Sonnet’s Scrap Challenge on my live, it got me thinking about something deeper.If creativity feels so freeing… why do we sometimes make it so hard on ourselves?In this episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m sharing 10 things creative women secretly struggle with. These are the quiet thoughts and feelings many of us experience at different points in our creative journey.We’re talking about things like:• Comparing ourselves to other creatives• Saving “special” supplies for the perfect project• Feeling guilty about investing in our creativity• Not finishing projects• Being afraid to ruin something beautiful• Feeling behind on trends or techniques• Having too many ideas and not knowing where to start• Wondering if we’re good enough• Creating for others instead of ourselves• And believing we have to do it allI’ve experienced a little bit of each of these myself, and if you have too, you’re not alone. The truth is, these struggles are often part of the creative journey — and they can actually help us grow, find our own style, and become stronger in our creativity.So if you’ve ever doubted yourself, compared your work to others, or wondered if you’re doing it “right,” this episode is for you.Because creativity isn’t about perfection.It’s about showing up, experimenting, and creating something you love.Thank you for being here!  Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep reimagining.See you in the next episode. 💛Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week! I’m giving YOU more ways to experience the magic of the Makers Box—and I’m launching a brand-new creative community too!Makers Creative Community, where you’ll find:• Monthly DIY challenges• Live styling sessions• Quarterly Zoom projects• Early access...VIP perks & behind-the-scenes peeks• A space to connect, create, and grow with fellow makersYou’ll now have three new ways to join in:• Makers Box: Paper Lovers – for those who adore vintage-inspired decoupage & rice papers• Makers Box: Paint Lovers – for the DIYers who live for curated paint collections• Makers Box: Digital Press – for printable lovers who want instant access to my exclusive designsAnd for those who want the FULL creative experience—the original Makers Box still delivers it all:• 2 Exclusive Roycycled decoupage papers• 2 Exclusive The Painted Photographer rice papers• 2 DIY Paints• 2 Fusion Mineral Paints• 1 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint• 1 specialty decoupage napkin• 5 Exclusive printable digital downloadsAll curated and coordinated with love.

Do you have a stash of beautiful scraps you just can’t throw away?Those leftover pieces of transfers. The bits of decoupage paper you saved because they were too pretty to discard. The fragments of paint inlays, gelli pad prints, and layered papers that inspired you—but are still waiting for their moment.In this episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m sharing how those scraps aren’t leftovers at all… they’re opportunities.We’ll talk about how scraps can actually free your creativity, removing the pressure that sometimes comes with using a full sheet. I’ll share how I organize my own scraps using clear envelopes from IOD, so I can see and use them easily, along with simple and inspiring project ideas to help you turn those forgotten pieces into something meaningful.I’m also sharing a personal realization about why scraps have become such an important part of my creative process—and why I’m making it a goal to intentionally use what I already have.And I’d love for you to join me.Introducing Sonnet’s Scrap ChallengeThis week or next, I invite you to create one project using only scraps.No new transfers. No new decoupage paper. No new supplies. Just the pieces you’ve already saved.Pull out your scraps. Lay them out. Experiment.

In today’s episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m sharing why thrifting became such an important part of my life—and how it completely changed the way I see creativity, beauty, and possibility.Thrifting didn’t start as a hobby for me. It started as a necessity. But over time, it became so much more. It became the foundation of my creative journey, the way I learned to trust my eye, and the way I created a home filled with character, meaning, and story.In this episode, I’m diving into:• Why thrifting shaped who I am today • How my childhood influenced my love of rescuing and upcycling • What I look for when I walk into a thrift store • What it really means when a piece has “good bones” • How to see potential in pieces others might overlook • And how thrifting can transform not just your home—but your creativityThrifting isn’t just about finding things...It’s about learning to see differently...and once you learn how to see possibility… everything changes.Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep reimagining.See you in the next episode. 💛Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week! I’m giving YOU more ways to experience the magic of the Makers Box—and I’m launching a brand-new creative community too!Makers Creative Community, where you’ll find:• Monthly DIY challenges• Live styling sessions• Quarterly Zoom projects• Early access...VIP perks & behind-the-scenes peeks• A space to connect, create, and grow with fellow makersYou’ll now have three new ways to join in:• Makers Box: Paper Lovers – for those who adore vintage-inspired decoupage & rice papers• Makers Box: Paint Lovers – for the DIYers who live for curated paint collections• Makers Box: Digital Press – for printable lovers who want instant access to my exclusive designsAnd for those who want the FULL creative experience—the original Makers Box still delivers it all:• 2 Exclusive Roycycled decoupage papers• 2 Exclusive The Painted Photographer rice papers• 2 DIY Paints• 2 Fusion Mineral Paints• 1 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint• 1 specialty decoupage napkin• 5 Exclusive printable digital downloadsAll curated and coordinated with love.No matter how you craft, there’s a perfect place

In this episode, I’m sharing what this current season of creating looks like for me — not in theory, but in real life. From being an IOD Artisan and working with the newest release, to creating multiple videos on my own channel, thrifting again, styling my booths, and showing up live with more intention, this season feels different in the best way.I talk about how having more space has changed the way I create, why deadlines no longer feel heavy, and how allowing myself time to explore, experiment, and imagine has brought creativity back to the center of my work. I also share what I’m enjoying about WhatNot Wednesdays, collaborating with Tara on Monday lives, and bringing more behind-the-scenes moments into my content.This episode is an honest look at what it feels like to be back in the studio, making again, and letting the process lead.

After stepping away from the mic for a season, I’m sharing an honest reflection on where I’ve been and what this past year taught me about burnout, survival mode, and losing touch with the joy that originally led me here.In this episode, I open up about a powerful wake-up call from my mom that made me realize I was doing everything required to run my business — but not enough of the things I truly love. We’ll talk about being reactive instead of proactive, the freedom that comes from asking for help, and how making space for creativity changed everything.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the parts of your life that light you up, this episode is for you.Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep reimagining.See you in the next episode. 💛Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week! I’m giving YOU more ways to experience the magic of the Makers Box—and I’m launching a brand-new creative community too!Makers Creative Community, where you’ll find:• Monthly DIY challenges• Live styling sessions• Quarterly Zoom projects• Early access...VIP perks & behind-the-scenes peeks• A space to connect, create, and grow with fellow makersYou’ll now have three new ways to join in:• Makers Box: Paper Lovers – for those who adore vintage-inspired decoupage & rice papers• Makers Box: Paint Lovers – for the DIYers who live for curated paint collections• Makers Box: Digital Press – for printable lovers who want instant access to my exclusive designsAnd for those who want the FULL creative experience—the original Makers Box still delivers it all:• 2 Exclusive Roycycled decoupage papers• 2 Exclusive The Painted Photographer rice papers• 2 DIY Paints• 2 Fusion Mineral Paints• 1 Sweet Pickins Milk Paint• 1 specialty decoupage napkin• 5 Exclusive printable digital downloadsAll curated and coordinated with love.No matter how you craft, there’s a perfect place
