My Fun Day Crafts LLC Blog

Welcome to My Fun Day Crafts LLC! While the type of crafts have varied, it seems that crafting has always been a part of my life. Some of my best days are crafting with family and friends. We may all be working on something different or just visiting, but crafting brings people together for friendship and fun. While I also enjoy paper crafting, crocheting and sewing, I mostly make handmade cards. I use a variety of company's products and enjoy the variation that each compa

Many women have provided support, encouragement and tough love over the years but no one like my mom. Even now, almost 14 years after her passing, I still miss being able to call her! She told me once, when the conversation was about my job, that most of the time she didn't understand what I was talking about but that she just loved being available when I needed to talk through my day. When the boys were younger, the conversations in the car were my favorite. That immediat

When my dad was alive and it was his birthday, he always said "just another day". It always made me laugh because he wasn't wrong. But it did make me look at how I wanted to spend my birthday. So I made a rule - I don't work on my birthday. It's that simple. I take the day off and I do whatever I want. Wake up to an alarm? Definately not. Stay in my jammies? Maybe. Go out for lunch or dinner? Probably. Craft? Most likely! My mom also had words of wisdom - celebr

Just finished three full days of the Crop & Create - Virtual - Cardmaking Spring 2026 event with Scrapbook & Cards Today. This is my sixth event with Crop & Create and I love the variety of the different companies, products, designers, and instructors. This weekend did not disappoint. I still have a few classes to catch up on but had fun creating many different styles of cards. I couldn't help making a few cards from the leftovers including a 1st birthday cupcake and sev

Right now I'm feeling all the feelings - nervousness, excitement, cautiously optimistic, etc. Sure, I've contemplated formalizing my card making into a business before but a month ago a random conversation at the local bar after work turned into action. Less than twenty days ago I put things in motion and established My Fun Day Crafts LLC. I purchased a domain and started to set up the website. I learned about legal templates, sales tax, website requirements and accessibi

Back in my craft room after dealing with the unfortunate amount of snow that we've gotten in the last 24 hours. I'll never understand why Mother Nature thinks that dumping so much snow at one time is a good idea - especially since its been so warm. Let's just say plowing the driveway is a bit tricky. With the boys here, round 1 of "clean up snow" should have been fairly quick. But getting the truck stuck while plowing was not part of the plan. Despite our best attempts,

I participated in the Taylored Expressions Virtual Stamp Joy 2026 over the last couple of days. A virtual event is a great way to learn (or remind yourself) of techniques, get inspired by designs and acquire new craft supplies. When I first started virtual events, I would do all the prep in advance and craft during the live. But life happens and sometimes you can't take the day off from work, don't get the prep done or you just aren't in the mood. My approach has changed
