Creative Living // A Crafty Vlog: Episode

Welcome to my new series where I take you along with me as I go about my daily life. Ever wonder what my planning routine looks like, how I find so much time to journal, or when I craft? This series is for you.
In episode #001 I introduce the series and take you along with me over Presidents' Day weekend when I updated my Hobonichi Cousin, made toasted marshmallow coffee syrup, and organized my craft desk.
Thank you so much for coming along on this journey with me and let me know in the comments what you'd love to see in future creative living episodes!
Mentioned in this episode:
Marshmallow Syrup Recipe:
- broil 2 cups of mini marshmallows in the oven until toasted to your preference
- meanwhile, melt 1 cup sugar, 2/3 cup water, & 1 tsp vanilla in a pot on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently
- add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until fully blended
- strain out the marshmallow bits & store in the fridge in a jar
- add a heaping tablespoon to hot coffee or espresso for a delicious beverage

This was super nice and relaxing to watch. while I was watching/listening, I put together a mini planner to take on vacation with me next week so I don't have to bring my big one.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! And that sounds like a smart idea to only have to carry a small planner with you. Enjoy vacation!!

[@jackiesandberg122]

Loved this vlog, thank you Linda

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you, so happy to hear that!

[@walkingexercise5375]

This is such a great idea for a video series! Relaxing! Diane in Denmark for her Fridays videos on her channel is giving 4 self-care assignments one can choose to do for the week which includes be creative or find a new activity. So, thanks for showing creative ideas. Also, your cat is so cute! So would love seeing your cat in the videos!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! Pumpkin (my cat) definitely pops into quite a few of videos, ha. Usually not intentionally! But he'll definitely make an appearance in these episodes since he is a big part of my life.

[@sherrijames6095]

Great inaugural vlog. I wish I were 1/4 as organized as you are. Look forward to future vlogs!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! I will share more tips & ideas about organization in the future. ❤️

[@AlexisBrandenburger]

I loved this video! Can't wait for the next one ☺

[@LindaLovesCreating]

ooh yay! So happy to hear.

[@Runsonespresso]

This was so fun! Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! ❤️

[@dawnmcf]

Loved seeing this. I thought my kitties were the only weirdo cats that liked scones, or sweets in general.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Ha! My cat’s favorite foods are baked goods + cheese. 😂

[@isabelm3636]

Loved the vlog, can't wait to see more :) I would also love to see how you store your journaling supplies like stickers and cutouts.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thanks! I don't have a video sharing my organization of magazine cut outs yet, but I do have a lot of craft organizational videos on my channel. I have a craft organization playlist (here: kzbin.info/aero/PLof_BD9bv6rE42l-yFqmqmYB4DDT8LGuS&si=RGgy_1vpuv1yZmz8) you might be able to find something you're interested in there.

[@shandylee1]

I loved this new style of video so much, Linda! You did a great job. Can’t wait to see more of these in the future.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, I was so nervous I wouldn’t edit it well or it would be boring! I will def share more in the future. ❤️

[@melaniearrowood2221]

Love this. Looking forward to more. Also fellow introvert lol

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! I think lots of us introverts find ourselves loving the cozy crafting at home vibe. Happy to be among those who get it!

[@aprilh5186]

I really enjoyed your video. I'd love to hear how long you spend in each of your crafting segments.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thanks! I plan to do more on how I manage/spend my time in a future episode. ❤️

[@JessicaAnderson-yd8xv]

I'm loving seeing all your new content. What a great variety!!!🥰And of course loved all the Pumpkin footage as well.

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! And ha, Pumpkin always has to make an appearance. I wish I could remember all the places to make a highlight of Pumpkin cameos video 😂

[@dearayleen]

Love the new video style ❤ and it's lovely to see how organised a human being can be !

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! And funny to hear that as I feel so disorganized sometimes. I will share some tips in future videos. ❤️

[@shanners2762]

What a fun video. Thanks for sharing 😁 Love your cat 😺 Looking forward to the next episode!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! He’s funny, I know some people hate when cats walk in the video, but happy you enjoyed. I find it fun! ❤️

[@TheLhollis]

Loved this video. Can you talk more in-depth about how you store and organize your pictures on your computer and what software tool you use to edit photos?

[@LindaLovesCreating]

I will add that to my list to address in future videos! For software, I use photoshop on my computer and iPad. I also use the A Color Story app on my phone/ipad to edit photos and procreate in my iPad to add handwritten text.

[@allisonhiggins1826]

Loved this style of video! So fun! What is the blue pouch you had out to store your pens, etc? Thanks!

[@LindaLovesCreating]

Thank you! That is a medium Delfonics pouch, I absolutely love it. amzn.to/3PhSMHc
