It’s so easy to not LET ourselves be inspired. 

Despite the longer days and lingering sunshine that is practically begging us to notice, we stay busy. We move fast. We tell ourselves we’ll make time for the fun, creative things later.

But do you know what I love most about true inspiration? It doesn’t need us to ‘feel ready’. It’s out there every day…quietly inviting us to recognize it. 

This summer, I want to say yes to that invitation. What about you? 

Here are a few ways I’m letting summer stir up my creativity—and maybe these will be the nudge you need, too:

Introducing: The Art of Bookbinding…my new online course that’s now LIVE! 

In this creative, beginner-friendly class, we’ll transform simple materials into a one-of-a-kind journal that reflects your (or their) personal style. You’ll learn stitching techniques, how to fold and bind your pages, and tips for choosing materials you may already have on hand.

Custom journals are not that. I use them for grocery lists, weekly sketches, writing dreams, and so much more.

And again…imagine being able to create a unique, one-of-a-kind journal to gift to someone you love! So special!

So many people have asked me about how I make these that I decided to create a brand new LIVE journal making class called The Art of Bookbinding.

Confession: the number of times I’ve said something along the lines of “just throw it in the office!” over the past few months is too many to count. 

Hi, it’s me Lucy, and I’m here to remind you in simple fashion that you do NOT have to overthink the perfect Christmas gifts for anyone on your list ✨

Trust me – I know it’s tempting to think something’s not “good enough”...or to kick yourself for not grabbing that item you saw back in July that would be perfect for your Mother-in-law.
