I’m Stacey. I’m a child of God. A wife to Anthony. A mom to Parker and Tyler. A daughter. A sister. A friend. A business owner.
Most of you probably think of me as “a crafter” and that’s fine…because I am! I love to craft, decorate, shop and do all the things! And I know that’s a lot of what you see from the outside looking in.
When I first started this business I had no idea how it would shape and mold or just what God had in store for me. I had no idea he was going to give me the platform I’ve been given to inspire so many ladies to create and decorate. But guess what?!
IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN CRAFTING!! THIS IS BIGGER!
A couple years ago I got a FB message from a follower that I will NEVER forget. It was the first time someone had reached out to me to tell me the story of how they had been battling cancer and how I had helped them find their JOY again.
Those were words I will never forget and it hit me right then and there, that I wasn’t put here to just share crafts and decor…I was also put here to spread JOY!
There have been so many things that have happened like that over the past couple years that constantly remind me that THIS IS BIGGER! So many God winks and touching moments and I’ve always tried to lead with Joy.
Then, in rolls 2020. The Pandemic. Suddenly this became even bigger and more important to so many, including myself. Crafting and decorating have been an escape, an outlet, a distraction, a positive light in a crazy world…the list goes on and on.
It was hard to navigate at first. Do I go live and just pretend like things are normal when they are NOT NORMAL? But, I carried on. I kept crafting, decorating and spreading joy as best as I could. And I hear from people daily how much it has helped them during this time.
GUESS WHAT?! It has helped ME more than you know too! Truly, it has. And it makes my heart happy to know it has helped a lot of you too.
Last night during my Rolling into Christmas craft night, there was a huge GOD MOMENT (If you were there, then you know)! God showed up during that craft night and he showed up big! He showed up for us and we all stopped and prayed for a fellow crafter who is losing her husband to cancer and needed prayers. We cried together, we don’t know each other in person…but it didn’t matter.
Because this is bigger. It’s more than the crafts, the cute red trucks and the buffalo check. It’s a community, a true community who I care about SO SO very much. God is here and he is working within us all.
I guess my whole point of this is to let you know that I know and I SEE YOU. I know that some of you are hurting and suffering, and I know many are dealing with all kinds of additional stress this year during the pandemic. I hope I can put a smile on your face when you need it- because you put a smile on mine right back!
I am here for you…to share cute craft and decorating ideas, take you whisper shopping…whatever the case may be!
I can’t fix this crazy world, but I can keep spreading Joy. And that is just what I intend to do! I pray for this community all the time and I pray that God will continue to use me for his will and I thank him for putting me on this path and journey. I don’t take it lightly and I love y’all SO, SO much!
This was on my heart big time and I just had to share!
BIG HUGS TO ALL OF YOU,
Stacey
Into truly enjoy watching your joy which then helps me to look, find and hold o to mine?❤️?
thank you!!
Stacey thank you for being YOU! Because of the pandemic I found you and your creative talents and it truly has helped me stay sane. And you are right it is more than the crafts. Even though we have never met in person and probably never will, I think of you as a friend. I’ve been in your home, I’ve met your family, we have even shopped together so THANK YOU for “all the things”!
Keep doing what you’re doing! God is using you! Such a blessing!!!
Thank you for that Stacey. I truly enjoy watching your lives and the ideas that you share. I first discovered you when you were doing a live with Brooke and that’s when I started following you. I especially like you saying “y’all” I don’t know it just makes me smile. Again thank you for following God and being a blessing to all of us.

Thanks Stacy for always being there for everyone I know it can’t be easy. We’re here for you if you ever need. Us. Tina.
I thank you so much. You put joy in my life also. I missed your show last night and I’m sorry that I did. Wish I was there, but I’m praying for the family. Lost my husband to cancer also
Love and God Bless
You are a wonderful woman, that god has sent to comfort us thru these crazy time.
You make me laugh and smile all the time. Keep up your good work. God bless.
I love your crafts and all you inspire us to do. I am a good copier, but i need inspiration. You give that to me. All of you do. God it s always with us giving it too with all this craziness we are going through. Thats again???????
You have been a joy to me. You’ve crafted all the things, taken me on vacation (I can’t travel), I’ve even gone on boat rides around the lake. I guess you have no idea how much all of that means to me but I have tried to let you know when I can. Thanks Stacey and I’d like to keep riding along
I appreciate hearing that so, so much!
God surprises us in such meaningful ways! He is so great and spreading joy and helping others through his faithful servants!
Blessings,
Karen
That’s so sweet. Thanks for sharing your heart with us. It is a pleasure to watch you especially when you are in a retail going “gaga” over decorations. It is true; you are light that so many of us need from time to time. Keep giving God praise and credit and you will continue to be blessed.
Karen
Well spoken Stacy! I wish a lot more people where as compassionate as you and have a big heart for fellow people you don’t know you keep up what you love to do and it will always shine through you no matter what ! My hat goes off to you for being such a caring person and want to brighten anyone’s day
That means the world- thank you!
Thank you to be so open to Gods promptings!! Like all of us were busy and how many JOYS have we missed… me several. Bit once you realize it…. it’s the best feeling in the world!!! Keep sharing and be that LIGHT!! GID BLESS!!!
Gosh that is so true…thank you!
Thank you for sharing this Stacey….I’m sorry I missed the live last night….I will go back & watch…you just NEVER know who you(we) may influence, who needs to hear what you(we) have to say, or who you (we) may need to listen to…God is good all the time…I love God winks ❤️❤️❤️Keep on sharing!!!!
I do too! Thank you!
Stacey, God is using each one of us in so many different ways. What happened last night is just a small example of how he uses us. I haven’t been crafting very long (actually, it’s just been since the pandemic began); but I have been so blessed to be a part of several crafting groups. I love the fact that you are Christian women who will pray, have devotional time, and have kind words for each other. God bless each of you.
Thank you so much!
I love you Stacey and your family. You have helped me through a lot of moments of depression this year. I never really knew much about depression until a couple of years ago when my biological grandson was taken away from my husband and I and moved clear across the country from us so we can’t see him. It is really hard not holding him or taking care of him and hearing him laugh. I just hope someday he comes back to us. He will be 5 yrs old December 2nd and was taken away by his parents when he was 2. I will send you a picture if you want to see him.
I’m praying for you!!
God bless you!!! And your crafting family … Keep on a keeping ! Lots of love
You have helped me get through loosing my husband almost 2 months ago. I didn’t think I would craft again because he always encouraged me and would craft with me. I decided to do a craft Sunday afternoon. It was tough but I did it. Baby steps. Thanks for sending joy to people.
Oh, goodness! SO sorry for your loss. Keep crafting, he would want that1 Hugs and prayers!
You are Awesome and I think God for using you and helping all of us!!! He is the Miracle worker,Promise keeper,light in the darkness! Thanks you so much Stacey and may God continually Bless you!
Absolutely! Thank you!
Stacey: God is using you and your platform to teach more than crafts! You are being used to convey love, hope AND Joy! We had a preacher once tell us to be “Jesus with skin on” and by proclaiming His Word, His Love and sharing what He has done for you, that is what He wants. To shine His light through you! Keep shining bright, God is the ONLY thing we can rely on, He is good…ALL OF THE TIME!!❤️❤️
wow, thank you SO much for that. Truly!
I don’t know what I would have done during this time without my crafting during this pandemic! I have shared the items I’ve made with others and have been able to brighten their days! I’ve made things for my granddaughter and I’ve sold some, too! I hope to continue into Christmas crafts next week…after I clean my craft room?. Thanks for all your great ideas and sharing!!
That makes me truly happy to hear!
I have always liked to craft, but when this pandemic hit I got depressed and scared of getting this virus but also all the changes that were happening. I don’t do well with change. But watching you and Brooke (Refabbed) and Barb(Shabby Tree) it kept my mind off of all the craziness. And helped me keep my grandkids busy as well. Thank You for all your inspiring ideas your sweet personality and sharing your family . Keep the it coming. I watch for you every day.
I’m so glad it helped! Thank you!
Love you Stacy! Kee spreading JOY! Its what we crafters do best! Love crafting through you and Brooke and all the others I’ve discovered through you two!
Craft on!
Thank you!
Stacey I’m not will eloquent with words but I would like to thank you and all your family for all you do. I am a cancer survivor of 13 years right now and trust me I wish that I could have had this world of crafts and the companionship in the beginning. I totally get what the lady said about getting JOY. I am truly engrossed in watching all the crafting I can I love it and what I can make makes me so happy. I feel we all need to get all the happiness we can find. GOD IS SO GOOD
So thankful you are healthy and thank you for the sweet words!
God did indeed show up. Thank you for allowing Him to use us and last night. You are so right it is more than just crafting. ❤️
Thanks for all you do? God Bless You and all that are in this Group?❤️
Thank you for who you are. Thank you for being there for us during this time. Watching you, learning from you and other crafters have gotten me through some tough days. Just like many others, I’ve not seen many family members since March. I see my Mom, who is 91, but I stay my distance. I don’t hug her or kiss her by (I always blow her a kiss as I’m pulling from her driveway). I pray every day for our country and the world. It’s a sad time we’re in but having you and others share your time with us has been such an awesome distraction. Thank you…
God bless you ❣️
Big hugs to you- it’s so hard for sure!
Stacey, This post brought tears of joy to me. I started watching you during the pandemic. I have started working more but my release is to watch crafters and learn. Maybe one day I can try to craft on Facebook. You truly inspire me. Thanks!
Thank you SO much!
Stacey, that was so beautifully said. You gave me the ability to create for my own enjoyment and the ability to donate items to our church’s biggest fund raising event. I have used some crafts as gifts to my friends and they were impressed. So the giving continues in the community. I am proud to wear your shirts and proud to own a beautiful mug for coffee every morning. I am thrilled with the boxful of autumn decor, and I will be a fan watching your videos and learning new ways to give joy to many others in the future.
Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for being your adorable self. Thank you for allowing your boys to join you on certain days and thank you for sharing your home with us. We are all blessed to know you.
wow- thank you so much for all of this!
What a fabulous way to share and express your journey in your life..that is what life is suppose to be…spreading joy and love. Hope to give you a hug one day, ???
Hope so too!
You have helped me also with your crafts and your son is so sweet I lost my husband six and a half years ago after 54 years of marriage. Miss him so much. So thank you for your crafts.
Big hugs and prayers…thank you!
Thank you Stacey for sharing your heart. I missed most of last night, but will watch the replay to create my craft. I appreciate our crafting community so much. Yes, life is stressful for most of us, some more than others, but if we all band together, pray and support one another, and spread that love and joy, we will get through this. I will also keep her in my prayers.
God Bless,
Patricia Benard
Absolutely! Thank you!
You are such a sweet person. My make many people smile.
Stacey that was just beautiful! You inspire so many people! I love watching you, listening to your stories, but most of all having the friendship through your page.
God Bless You
Cindy
Hi Stacey, thank you for sharing your heart with all of us. The road this year definitely has been Ike Mr. Toads wild ride at Disneyland. That being said as I mentioned in an email needing to step out of club do to finances. On October 5, 2020 at 3:40 pm my husband/friend of 44 years left this place we call earth. Its been extremely hard not just for me but our adult children and only grandchild Emma. I’m looking forward to rejoining the group/club at end of year/beginning of January. Once again thank you for your kindness, love, and friendship to all!
Big hugs and prayers to you, Sharon!!
Awe that was truly a beautiful message. Something I needed to hear. Keep on spreading Joy with your crafting and making such beautiful things. I myself love to craft and get inspired by watching others do what God has blessed them to do. You and so many others are truly a blessing.
I appreciate that so much!
Stacey , thanks for sharing. The other night God was with us and brought all of us together to pray & help one another, sprinkle the love & Joy. I’m thankful for you!! Keep being you! Love all the crafts, videos, lives that you do! They are inspiring!! You are doing a fantastic job!! Love ya ❤️
Thank you Stacey God has truly blessed you. You are an amazing woman that inspire everyone and fills them with joy. May God continue to bless you and your family ❤❤
Sandy
THANK YOU!!
❤️❤️
You are so much fun to watch and truly a great person inside and out! Keep being you! Thank you!??
I love to hear the God stories. It sounds like he is using you mightily. I love your crafts too. God bless you.
Thank you so much!!
Stacey that made me cry…. sorry I missed last night. This community certainly is a great one. I am so glad I found you. Please continue to be yourself and I love how you manage to juggle us and your family… god certainly blesses you daily. Thank you ??
Stacey, love you and your family and most of all you love all the people that follow you. Praying for a better 2021 for all of us. Thanks for being real. You inspire me to retire and do my business.
It’s wonderful to see the Holy Spirit in action, Stacey. And I’m so thankful that you allow us to participate via your community. The power is undeniable!
Stacey ~ you are a beautiful person, inside and out. I love your crafts even tho I’m not a printables or red truck (or any color really ?) kind of girl. I could watch the day long if it were possible. If you remember, I had told you how much your Tyler reminded me of my one and only grandson, Elliam whose mother has kept us (his dad, my son Nathan, my other son Uncle Trew and myself). We’ve finally got to visit with him once in a while thru zoom but that’s it.
I find myself staying awake a couple days/nights at a time because when they guys go to sleep, I cry. I am so heartbroken , yes for me but mostly my son, all he wants is to be a dad to be is a dad, like he had always been, until she brings another man into her life, then Nate is forgotten about unless he’s needed again.
If I can, I’d like to ask you and this crafting group for prayers that Elliam’s mom come to her senses because nobody knows what tomorrow will bring and EVERY little boy needs his dad around. One thing I’m sorry to say Nate never had.
Thank you in advance xoxo
Oh, that breaks my heart! I do remember you telling me that and I will absolutely lift you up in prayer!! Big hugs!
Thank you for sharing. You do send Joy with every craft you make and the kind words you say. You have been a light in this dark year. When we craft, we can just be and not think about the mess our world is in. Thank you for bringing God into your crafting. He wants us to be with him and pray with him, for him and for ourselves. Life isn’t easy and it isn’t about winning right now. It’s about loving our neighbors, slowing our lives down and talking to him. I am thankful for all the online friendships, encouragement and prayers that are/is spread through your site. You have created a WONDERFUL experience for all of us. I feel as though I could come over for tea and you would know me when you opened the door. That’s not coincidence, that’s JESUS! Bless you Stacey. You truly are a woman of God and a bright light. Let it shine! ❤️
Love that…that’s not coincidence, that’s JESUS! Thank you so much!
I found crafting while in ICU and later isolation with Covid. It was a dark, dark time. I see SO many crafters who rarely do crafts but do give-always, etc. etc. worry that too many are getting away from “whence they came”. It wa crafting which brought so many to a place of giving joy. I hope that no one loses sight of that. Craft, craft, craft!!! Jesus has blessed and He will continue.
So sorry you went through that! And yes he will!
You are so sweet and so genuine! And of course, very talented. ❤️
I am one whose 2020 has been a train wreck.
At 2:10 pm on Jan 1, my darling hubby of 50 years died of cancer.
In April I lost a mentor, co-worker and dear friend to COVID
In May I lost my best friend of 57 years.
I thank God for leading me to the crafting world to help me through all this.
Lizzy and Erin have prayed with and for me on several occasions and I know how much it helped me and I pray that our fellow crafter who is going thru this battle can find some comfort from the beautiful hearts in the crafting world!
What a blessing!
Hugs and prayers
Oh wow! Bless your heart! I am lifting you up in prayer right now!! Big hugs!
Thank you Stacey for sharing. We should all lift each other up in prayer. We all have things that even our family know nothing about only us and God. There is power in prayer so let’s remember our brothers and sisters.
yes so true! Thanks!
Wonderfully said!! God is grand!!
Stacey you have such a big and loving heart, and you are so down to earth. You don’t put on airs and pretend to be someone you’re not. I enjoy watching you and trying some of your crafts.
Every time you go live, you come on with a big smile and give it all you got. You’ve raised my spirits more times than I can count.
Thank you for sharing that with us. May God bless you and your family.
That’s a huge compliment…thank you!
I am fairly new here but thank you for sharing that. You are such an inspiration. It is so good to hear such caring and kind words from others, especially those you only know through social media contact, so comforting during times like these. I am a home bound individual and only get out for appointments which is very difficult but I try to keep myself together as best I can. I love to craft if and when I have supplies. If I have no supplies just watching crafting groups sometimes helps as then I have ideas for when I do get supplies. This time of year is very difficult as I love Christmas crafting the most. Everyone seems to be crafting the little red truck and that is one of my favorites.
Thanks again for sharing your very kind and generous words, I really needed that right now. You are such an inspiration and so kind hearted ?
You’re so welcome! Thanks for your sweet words!
Precious Stacey I knew there was something so special about you! You have such a caring heart. I know now why the Christmas shirt “ joyful” shirt jumped off the page at me! Something kept telling me to get that shirt. But I picked what I wanted but now I have a story to tell YOUR STORY. So yes I’m going to order what I should have ordered to begin with! I can share your story and mine. Thank you for being so compassionate. Thank you for loving your group we are sisters! Thank you for rescuing us when you didn’t know we needed rescued! Love you precious friend…..
This made me cry!! Thank you SO much for your sweet words!
You are truly an inspiration and have helped me. During this year has been somewhat of a struggle and you were there for me when I needed a laugh,smile and also positivity. I wish I could watch every live but my grandchildren doesn’t because my grown children need help bringing to football,baseball and swimming. I watch replay a lot and you truly more than a crafter. You are VERY VERY loving,caring and a JOY to watch and learn from. ❤️❤️
I’m so grateful to be a part of your crafting community! Tuesday night was something very special! I think we all shed a few tears for Cheryl. I wish I would have this community to lean on when I lost my sister to Ovarian Cancer. I don’t think I would have been so lost. God has given you a special gift and we are honored to be a part of your community ?❤️?
Big hugs to you!!
So thankful for all the little and big God moments you help to bring into the world!!
Stacy, you have such a beautiful ❤️….it is so much more than crafting. Prayer is huge and thank you for being a Godly woman. If you’ve touched one lost life, you have done a great thing. Jami
P.s. what is your t-shirt size? I have a surprise for you.
Thank you Stacey. For all you do for me and this wonderful community you have created. You are so correct that its more than just crafting. And we all need God in our lives. Please keep doing what you do. Spreading your Joy and helping all of us by crafting and in other ways. Tyler is awesome too. Have a blessed and great day.
Thank you for sharing from the heart. I am a widow and this has been an especially hard year for me with the pandemic. Crafting has been my outlet and l have especially enjoyed crafting along with you.
I am thankful that my Bestie told me about you. Not only for your awesome crafts but more importantly your love for the Lord! Keep spreading the joy and may you be blessed!!
Thank u so much Stacey for those beautiful words and believe me when I say that crafting has kept me going I don’t have a lot of good friends because I’m a Christian so watching live videos is important to me, especially since most of you r Christian. ❤️❤️
I absolutely Love you and your heart! You never know when someone comes into your life and both find Joy!
You changed my life forever and made me look at myself and help me so much. I’m forever Grateful for you! You truly are the Best!❤️
I hope you know that that first part of this story was dedicated to YOU! You changed my life as well with that one message. Truly you did! I appreciate you so much!
I just want you to know I’m a Alabama State Certified Chaplain too:) ?
You truly are anointed and I Love Your Messages of Wisdom ????
When I first started watching crafting videos it was due to that I had cataracts in both eyes and I can no longer work or barely see waiting for surgery to be able to have surgery finally was able to have cataract surgery I am doing watching each and every one of y’all I pray for each and every one of y’all and one day I may be one of y’all I just got to get some things working out
God bless you, Stacey! We need more people like you! I thoroughly enjoy your crafting and decorating posts. Keep up the good work!!
Thank God, for you!!!! I appreciate you and your God given talents!!! You definitely are a shining light to us all!! So glad my friend Michelle told me about your page!!! It is awesome to see God at work!!!! Thank you!!! Hugs!!!???
Stacey I will never forget that night, God definitely showed up and showed out all because your followed your heart and desire to do this for all of us women, That definitely was God that laid this upon your heart his timing is Perfect, I hesitated several times before I said anything and I new it was God that was wanting me to speak out, I am so thankful and blessed to have been with all of your amazing women Of God when this happened, that night I honestly felt like I could breath easier knowing what an amazing God we serve and how effective the power of prayer is, Thank you to Denise for being obedient to God and ask about praying and all these women who offered up prayers and craft supplies I was overwhelmed with Joy and happiness, I will probably never meet any on your in person but I consider you all my sisters in Christ and friend, Stacey you are an amazing blessing to so many and I Thank God for you and all the other crafters , you truly saved me, Love you all, Cheryl
I’m crying again reading this! Truly a moment I will never forget, and I’m so glad and thankful that it brought you joy. I will continue to pray for your and your family!!
Stacey, it’s so wonderful when God uses us to help others! Thank you for allowing God to use you to spread his love and joy to others! You are so sweet! God bless you and your family!
Stacey you are truly a blessing to us all because your Joy, enthusiasm and smile spreads thru us all and your crafts are adorable……Now can you hold a craft session with Congress and Senate and maybe your joy will rub off on them and this country will get back to normal! Love all the things you do and I pray many blessings for you and your family!
Very heart warming and you are truly a blessing.
With tears in my eyes, I read your testimony. Thank you for sharing and God’s Blessings for your life.
Thank you so so much!
I enjoy watching you. I found you in the last 60 days. I teach crafting classes to senior citizens plus with my water aerobics friends. You help me not be initiated and inspire me to make cute things. I have to do it at a low cost. But I love your ideas…… and I agree how doing crafting can inspire others. The senior citizens really love what we make. And my water aerobics friends think I am so talented but I find the ideas of others. Thanks for being here……
I really enjoy watching your crafts and your words of inspiration. Keep up the great work.
Stacey, I thank you so much for all that you do to help each and everyone of us. I know its from your heart ❤ and I battle each day rather its from my illness or depression. And there has been days I haven’t even wanted to get out of bed and I click on fb and I have a notification ur live and it brings me joy to watch,listen and something craft ur printables so thank you because you have help me and im so happy to be apart of this community. You are awesome. And im forever grateful to have found ur page. Continue to let God use you . He has big plans in store for you ,you haven’t seen anything yet. GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY!
Thank you so much! Big hugs and prayers to you!
Thank you for your service to God and your Godly influence. You are being used much more than you will ever know. You are a breathe of fresh air! May God continue to bless you.
Thank you so very much for this!
This has been a tough time in the history of our great nation.. we welcome you into our heart, and into our homes..
I myself have enjoyed the time you spend with family, and of course your gifted talent you share with us with your crafts..you are a sweet, giving person..I appreciate
You Stacey, and so many followers feel the same, thank you God Bless..
I stumbled upon a Pinterest post of yours about painting foam pumpkins just this morning. I’m not a huge crafter but I was looking for a craft for me and my husband and daughter to do together on Thanksgiving. I know it’s at the end of Fall decorating but I was actually thinking of next year when it would be time to get all the Fall stuff out and how cool it would be to drag something out and say “hey I forgot about this! Remember last Thanksgiving when it was just the 3 of us because of the stupid pandemic?” Let’s face it everybody’s holidays are going to look a lot different this year. I refuse to be bummed out on Thanksgiving even tho we won’t be in the midst of family and friends and all the cooking and visiting and laughing and all the stupid shenanigans that tend to occur around here! We made a plan for the day and it includes a Fall craft. Probably would be better served to do a Christmas craft but I’m looking towards next year and hoping and praying our nation will heal and better things are afoot?! Blah blah blah anyway, sorry I got off track because all I really wanted to say is I loved the copper pumpkins you painted a couple years ago. I watched the Facebook Live and I’m pretty sure I’ve got it down. Btw you’re a hoot to watch! I’ve got my list of supplies and we’re off to Walmart and Dollar Tree so we can be ready come Thanksgiving 2020! Thank you for the wonderful idea!
Thank you for this!! Have fun crafting with your family!
