Beginning My Crafting Journey
Hey Queens and Kings! 👑✨
Welcome to the very first chapter of what I like to call “The Queening Lifestyle”. This is a space where we embrace our creative sides, conquer new challenges, and turn our passions into beautiful realities. But before we dive into this exciting journey together, let me take a moment to share a bit about how I got here.
The Start of Something New
Let me take you back for a moment—back to a time when life threw me a curveball I never saw coming. My world turned upside down during a difficult divorce, and for a while, I didn’t know which way was up. My heart was heavy, my mind was cluttered, and I desperately needed something—anything—to help me heal. That’s when I stumbled into crafting.
What started as a therapeutic way to untangle my thoughts and find some inner peace quickly became my happy place. There was something so satisfying about taking raw materials and turning them into something beautiful. Each project was like a tiny step toward crafting/ piecing myself back together. Glue guns, glitter, and candle wax became my best friends, and they didn’t just mend broken hearts—they sparked a passion I didn’t even know I had.
Why Crafting, Why Now?
Crafting isn’t just about making pretty things (although, who doesn’t love a gorgeous, finished product?). It’s about the process. It’s about taking a step back from the chaos of life to create something with your own two hands. It’s about pride, patience, and progress. Whether you’re here to explore a new hobby, start a side hustle, or just join a community of creatives, this space is for you.
Now, here we are, 1000 YouTube and Pinterest searches later standing at the edge of yet another rabbit hole, and I couldn’t be more excited! Crafting has taught me so much, and it’s opened up a whole new world of possibilities. If I can learn to create beautiful, unique things from scratch, I know you can too!
This blog is my way of inviting you to join me on this journey. I want to learn with you, laugh with you, and share every success, every mishap, and every lesson I learn. I’ll be right here, documenting it all.
If you’re wondering where to start, you’re not alone. That’s why I’m here—to make the process less overwhelming and a lot more fun! Were just going to start! Down the rabbit hole we go! If you’ve been on the fence about crafting, consider this your sign. Pick something small—maybe a tumbler, a simple candle, or a resin project—just give it a shot. You don’t need all the fancy tools right away. Start with what you have, and build as you go.
I’ll be sharing:
What I’m learning: The tools, tips, and tricks that work (and the ones that don’t).
What I’m using: Product recommendations based on things I’ve tried myself, so you know they’re ChocolateSkye-approved.
Where I’m finding inspiration: The creators, Pinterest boards, and ideas that fuel my creativity.
Affiliate links: So you can grab the same supplies I’m using and join in on the fun. (Yes, Queens, these links help me reinvest in this amazing community!)
Join Me in This Crafting Wonderland
If my story resonates with you, I hope you’ll join me in this adventure. Grab your glue gun, pour yourself a cup of tea (or wine—no judgment here!), and let’s dive into the magic of crafting. Whether you’re here to find a new hobby, create gifts for loved ones, or just take some “me time,” you’re in the right place.
Thank you for letting me share my heart and my journey with you. I can’t wait to see what we create together! Remember, crafting isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, joy, and the beauty of handmade treasures.
So, what’s the first thing you want to try? Drop your ideas in the comments or send me a message. Let’s go down this rabbit hole together and make magic happen. 🎨✨
