Picture it… launch day. You’ve worked your bu Picture it… launch day. You’ve worked your butt off, lined up the posts, crossed your fingers for the algorithm gods… and nada. Crickets. I’ve been there too. Which is why I stopped betting everything on social media and leaned into email. Email actually shows up. It’s steady, it’s yours, and it works. That’s what my workshop Emails Over Algorithms is all about—helping creatives take back control, grow lists that feel good (not spammy), and write newsletters people want to read. 📅 Wednesday, September 10 at 10am PT 📍 Online, live with me ✨ Drop EmailLove in the comments and I’ll send you the RSVP link. With support from @constantcontact #partner #sponsored
At Craftcation, you’re not the oddball with too At Craftcation, you’re not the oddball with too many scissors or an obsession with yarn—you’re home. 💛 For 5 days every April in Ventura, CA, hundreds of creative weirdos (like you!) come together for hands-on workshops, business classes, and the kind of community that just gets it. 🎟️ Early bird tickets are on sale now! ✨ Comment CRAFTY and I’ll DM you the link to check it out, or CCLIST to join the mailing list. #smallbusinesssupport #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #mentor #creativebusiness
This might be the only audio that could get me to This might be the only audio that could get me to lip sync 😂… but honestly? It’s so Craftcation. One of the best parts about being here: you’re technically “out,” but you don’t have to wear a bra, hard pants, or anything fancy. It’s a true come-as-you-are place. 💛 🎟️ Early bird tickets are on sale now! ✨ Comment CRAFTY and I’ll DM you the link to check it out, or CCLIST to join the mailing list.ist. #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #craftcation #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessowner #creativeentrepreneur
Don’t you wish Craftcation didn’t have to end? Don’t you wish Craftcation didn’t have to end? 💛 That’s exactly why we created The Club — a year-round community for creatives who want the Craftcation magic to keep going. Think expert-led workshops, mentorship, co-working, crafty hangouts, and a library of 100+ sessions waiting for you. Doors are open Sept 10–15 only. Want in?

When we signed the hotel contract for the first Cr When we signed the hotel contract for the first Craftcation, I had no idea if there’d even be a second. In fact, I actually mapped out an escape plan to Canada in case we couldn’t cover the hotel rooms. 😅 But then something magical happened. Yes, the classes were great. Yes, Ventura and the beach were dreamy. But it was the people—this community—that made it unforgettable. 13 years later, I’m so proud to call this group of creative weirdos my community. 💛 🎟️ Early bird tickets are on sale now! ✨ Comment CRAFTY and I’ll DM you the link to check it out, or CCLIST to join the mailing list. #craftersofinstagram #makersofinstagram #craftcation #smallbusinesssupport #creativeentrepreneur
How many people are part of your creative team? Is How many people are part of your creative team? Is it just you? So many of our attendees have said something similar to “It’s so lonely when I work on my craft or creative business” and it can be a LOT to be in this creative life, but it doesn’t HAVE to be a lonely one. Friends, mentors and found family have all been one of the other amazing perks found at Craftcation. So don’t worry if you come alone, you won’t leave that way. #craftcation #craft #crafters #maker #makers #creativeentrepreneur #creativeprocess

The truth? Being an artist isn’t about perfectio The truth? Being an artist isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, making the thing, and letting yourself be surprised by what happens next. At Craftcation, we hear these stories all the time—and we love watching them unravel. Over five days by the beach in Ventura, CA, you’ll try new mediums, learn from other creatives, and maybe leave with a totally new definition of what being an artist means for you. So… what’s one creative “rule” you’ve had to unlearn? Drop it in the comments and let’s see what we’re not following anymore. 👇 #craftcation #craftersofinstagram #smallbusinesssupport #makersofinstagram #creativeprocess #unlearnandrelearn
We’ve read thousands of workshop proposals over We’ve read thousands of workshop proposals over the years (no exaggeration)… and let us tell you: choosing what ends up at Craftcation is part art, part science, and part asking ourselves, “Will our people love this?” It’s about what makes our community light up. The best workshops don’t just teach you how—they remind you why you started and make you want to come back to Craftcation. ✨ If you’ve got something to share—whether it’s crafty, business-y, or a little bit weird in the best way—we want to hear from you. 🖊️ Craftcation 2026 presenter applications are open!
