It’s one of the best times of the year for crafting! (At least in my opinion). So in my latest YouTube video I paint some cute ornaments including a Christmas-themed unicorn, a cozy sweater-wearing cat, and a classic Christmas truck! https://youtu.be/TyEtCP8B8J0 This video was extra fun to make because 1.) crafting and 2.) silly voiceover!...

I started journaling as an adult in 2011, during one of my peaks (or should I say pits?) of depression. I had a little journal with beautiful hand-pressed pages that I felt like NEEDED to be written in. So why not start just writing? It's now been 9 years of journaling, and boy, have I...

The email was sent on March 31st, and it basically had to say “This isn’t an early April Fool’s joke! You... Continue Reading →
I had a super stressful weekend when it should have been super amazing and exciting. It’s been a goal of mine and my good friend Alanna’s to make a video together since we now live in the same city.  And we’ve been working on said project for the last few weeks. This Saturday was the... Continue Reading →
While in high school, I was so much of an overachiever that I couldn’t fit all my passions into my class schedule. So my love for art was relegated to an after school activity in a small “Gifted Arts” program. It was two hours after school once or twice a week with an art teacher... Continue Reading →
I’ve always considered myself a pretty creative person. In grade school I considered creativity my best asset. Parents, friends, teachers were in awe of the creative ideas or projects I would come up with and praise me for my unique way of thinking.  And today, while I still work hard to produce lots of creative...

This week’s Tuesday video (I really need a fun name for it. I guess I should be uploading on Friday so that it could be “Fun Fridays with Kaitlyn!” since that’s the general vibe I’m going for) hold a special place in my heart. It probably won’t be my highest viewed video (as my music... Continue Reading →
