Here is a succulent/cactus theme collaboration I’m doing with a journal friend over on tiktok! We’re not due to upload it until Sunday on tiktok so I thought I would share it here first! 🤗🌵 It’s been raining for a few days straight now and it’s the perfect weather to craft. I love rainy weather! 🌧

Oh ma gaaa, you have no idea how much your kind words mean to me! 🥺🤍

Honestly, some days I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of supplies I have, but don’t use. I found I was basically buying, hoarding and “organising” my craft supplies for years and not actually creating anything at all 🥴

About 8/9 years ago I joined Instagram and got lost in the creative community. I saw people creating such beautiful things with similar supplies that I already had in my stash and it was pretty much a big wake up call to JUST USE IT! And that’s what I did, I just started using my craft supplies - isn’t that so strange to say? 😂 They all really inspired me in so many ways. Don’t get me wrong though, sometimes I still hesitate to use something because “it’s the only one of these I have” but I go ahead and use it and the end result makes me feel so GOOD.

Just remember, creating is supposed to be fun so don’t be afraid to mess up! Sometimes the “mess up’s” end up being more beautiful then what you originally had in mind 🤗

I hope this helps, I’m not the type to give out helpful advice, but if it helps just one person then I’ve accomplished something!
