Hi there! I am a long-time Whatever Craft House lover and a lifelong craft enthusiast. In 2026, my friends and I will celebrate our 10th year of summertime girls’ weekends in Newton and I've held multiple retreats at the house as the owner of WestWind Creative. When Meg inquired whether I knew anyone who might be interested in taking the Whatever Craft House into its next chapter, I couldn't believe my luck!

 

I have spent over 20 years in event planning and was beyond ready to take the plunge into combining that experience with my passion for helping others build relationships through their creative pursuits. I never could have imagined that dream could bring me to this point, but God had a plan that was bigger and better than anything I could have dreamed up on my own!
 
I am wife of almost 21 years to my amazing husband Brandon, and mom to two boys that keep me on my toes. Our home is rarely dull while chasing kids, chickens, a cat, a budgie, and a painted tortoise. When we aren't keeping all of that up in the air, you can usually find us working on a home project, building something in the woodshop, renovating a vintage camper, or moving the furniture around (AGAIN).
