Hello community!
It’s Tuesday again, and today feels like a good day to slow down a bit and share some moments.
Every photo on our phone has a little story behind it. Some are memories we wanted to keep. Some catch a color, a texture, or a mood we liked. And sometimes, without really planning it, a photo just stays with you and quietly turns into a craft idea later on.
Recently, @Jodie and I were scrolling through a couple of photos that mean a lot to us. Nothing fancy, just moments tied to memories We found ourselves chatting about what they could become someday. Maybe a printed blanket. Maybe a puzzle. Something handmade that lets those moments live on in a different way.
Is there a photo on your phone that might inspire a future craft? Maybe it’s a place, a detail, or a moment you want to hold onto. Or maybe it’s just sitting there, waiting for the right idea.
Feel free to share the photo or just tell the story behind it.
We’d love to see what sparks your ideas.
We’ll randomly pick 3 replies to receive 100 Cheers this week.
I want to make another not lucky blessed design it’s something I have said a lot and am hoping to make something fun in idea studio for a March craft so I have some time to play with the design.
Manifesting on watching this concert
But I also want to turn this into an SVG and make another shirt this means End and Beginning. They’re closing the chapter and beginning a new one
They had a concert last year names Simula at Wakas (Beginning and End), that was a blast I made a shirt for that here

Sometimes motherhood makes you slow down and see magic through your child’s eyes again.
This year when my son received his letter from Santa, I caught myself watching him more than the letter. The excitement in his voice, the belief in something bigger than himself, and the innocence that only childhood can hold reminded me just how fast time moves.
As a mom, recovery warrior, and small business owner, I spend so much time creating things for others… but this year I felt led to create something deeply personal just for him.
I’ve been thinking about crafting a Christmas shadow box filled with soft snow, a tiny sleigh , and a special bell … something he can look at every holiday season and remember how loved he is. My heart is even leaning toward finding a button recorder so when he presses it, he’ll hear Santa reading his letter aloud — using my voice, filled with love, wonder, and a little Christmas magic.
Because childhood memories are the true keepsakes.
One day the toys will fade, the wrapping paper will be gone, and the excitement of Christmas morning will grow into memories… but moments like these help plant seeds of joy, imagination, and love that last a lifetime.
Being his mom reminds me daily that God trusted me with one of His greatest blessings. And if I can give him a little extra wonder, a little extra comfort, and a reminder that he is deeply loved — then that is a gift worth creating.
Christmas isn’t just about what’s under the tree… it’s about the memories we build around it.
Well, I’m constantly taking pics of things I want to draw, along with the occasional pic of my dogs being silly. Here are some of the most inspirational photos in my phone. Can you spot the frog… and the dog?
Yes I live near the beach so when we were decorating our old house I took pictures of my kids at the beach and cut them out of vinyl to put on this coat rack.
My daughter said it’s time to redo it
This is a photo from a couple years ago when my daughter took me to Seattle for a concert. This was our first time there and for years I’d been saying I wanted to see Mt Rainier. So i decided to make us matching tumblers of our trip. Of course i let everything else take over and never did it. Once again I’m thankful for this groups inspiration because now i know what one of her gifts will be for her birthday this March. Lol, I probably cant hold it that long though. I have a ton of pics from the trip and the hardest part will be choosing my favorites. Sorry I know we said one pic but its the entire trip of bonding that will come together to make a memory that we can literally hold onto forever.
