Part 1 - Road Trip Must-Haves: Packing for the 2024 Stamp and Scrapbook Expo

Join me on a creative adventure as I embark on a road trip to the 2024 #stampandscrapbookexpo in Edison, NJ. In this video, I will share my meal prep to survive the seven hour Make and Take Extravaganza, my minimalist art supplies, and give you a glimpse of the scenic drive. Plus I share my personal art journal goal to achieve during the make and take with this year's collection of card making goodies. Will I achieve it?

Don't miss:
-My new favorite home-made ginger soy dressing
-My secret weapon to keep my recording equipment charged
-and even an early morning animal totem visit to bless my journey.

Life is full of color, both bright, vibrant, and challenging. As an artist and creative adventurer, I do my best to find the humor in life's challenges and express it through my creative projects. I share my work on this channel in the hopes that it will inspire others to find their own creative outlets.

I believe that everyone should make time for creative expression, even if it is only for a few moments each day. Taking the time to be creative can help us to cope with stress and find new ways to see the world.

So go ahead and make some art, write a poem, or dance around your living room. The possibilities are endless.

The playground of life is a blank canvas, so create wisely.


Remember to laugh at life's colorful blessings one creative idea at a time!
