Kristyn has the cutest craft room that she sells all of my favorite things from :) and I was dying to hear how it all started.  Listen in to hear all about how she started and grew her shop, how we create and find time to grow our businesses in the throws of motherhood, and how you can find stationary goodies in her shop.

Some of the things Kristyn and I talk about:

-Trying new things when the current path isn't "tickling" (love that word!)

-How she found her value as an artist after selling 20+ paintings at $12 an hour

- The importance of just starting and not feeling like you have to be set in stone whenever you start something new

-Navigating post partum and growing a business

- Keeping our sanity in motherhood by being creative ALONE

- Creating just to create (without putting it on the internet)
