Happy 2026

✨ Looking Ahead to an Intentional 2026 ✨

I’m truly looking forward to an incredible 2026. This year, I’m being more intentional—with my time, my creativity, and the way Growing Up Crafty shows up in the community. To support that, I’ve created a simple monthly rhythm for both myself and GUP, and I’m excited to share what’s coming!
