ABOUT ME WHAT’S HERE WHERE TO START MY BOOKS SUPPLIES WHAT I DO CONTACT
I’m so glad you’ve stopped by my little corner of the world. Whether you’re looking for hand lettering instruction or general craft inspiration, I can’t wait to join you on your creative journey!
I’m Amy, an artist, teacher, and author who also happens to be a wife and the mama of two amazing boys. I’ve been blogging for almost seven years and lettering since October 2016.
I love coffee, Jesus, good jokes, and people who keep it real. I hate to cook but love to eat, and if I could, I would binge watch Psych all day long. I’m an adoptive mama who has been to China and knows all the feelings that come with raising a child who isn’t yours by birth. I know how to do ballroom, latin, and swing dance, and I play the mandolin.

I absolutely love to teach and to share the joy of creating with everyone I “meet,” whether online or in person. That’s why I created a library of FREE RESOURCES just for you. Click on the links below to check out any and all of what I have to offer.
Although much of what you’ll find here is related to my favorite type of art, hand lettering, you’ll also find tons of other general craft projects including jewelry, home decor, painting, crochet, & furniture upcycles.

Looking for lettering instruction, inspiration, and practice you can hold in your hand? Check out my best-selling books, Hand Lettering for Relaxation and its Portugese version, Caligrafia para Relaxar. My third book, Express Yourself, a Hand Lettering Workbook for Kids, will be available for pre-order soon!
I cannot recommend this book enough! It is a big, substantial book made with excellent paper and room for practice. I was amazed how easy it was to follow her instructions to make beautiful hand lettering and decorations without any experience. Absolutely beautiful and makes me feel like I can easily do anything she can do. – C.S.
