Week in Review: Creating, Growing & Resting | August 15, 2026

Recovery

– I am still non-weight-bearing and in a cast.
– My sleep schedule is slowly getting better.
– I am learning to listen to my body and REST when I need it.
– One night I slept almost 12 hours! My body clearly needed it.

Recovery is slow, but I am taking it one day at a time.

Behind the Scenes

I launched **Table Tips** this past Tuesday!

Β 

Table Tips is where I share helpful information about:

– Scrapbook and paper crafting tools
– Creative Memories and Stampin’ Up! products that I own
– How to use different tools
– Organization ideas

Sometimes we buy a new tool and later think, **”Wait… how do I use this again?”** πŸ˜‚

That’s what Table Tips is for!

If there is a tool or product you want me to show, test or review, **let me know!**

I have also been working on my website and YouTube channel.

These are my **TWO main places:**

**YouTube = Videos and Lives**
**Website = Projects, ideas and supply lists**

That way, you can still find my information later instead of trying to find an old Facebook post or video.

Reflection

This week reminded me that I don’t have to force things to grow.

I signed up my **6th Creative Memories team member last night!**

I joined Creative Memories on June 24. I never expected my team to grow this fast. I was simply sharing what I love, creating projects and helping other crafters.

Now I can see everything slowly coming together:

**My team.**
**My website.**
**YouTube.**
**Table Tips.**
**And new ideas.**

I still have a LOT I want to do.

But I don’t have to do it all today.

**One project. One video. One step at a time.**

Recovery is teaching me that too. Life keeps moving even when I can’t physically do everything myself.

And yes… **rest counts too.**

Looking Ahead

This weekend, Aiden, his wife and Addie are moving in with us for a few months!

I am so excited to see Addie every day for a while. She’s already **4 1/2 months old!!**

Thankfully, everyone else can do the heavy lifting while I stay at my command center on the couch. πŸ˜‚

Next week, I want to keep things simple:

– Keep working on my website.
– Create when I can.
– Share more Table Tips.
– Keep organizing my ideas.

**Have an idea for Table Tips? Tell me what you want to see!**

I may not be back in my craft room yet, but my creative brain definitely hasn’t stopped!

Most important: **I want this to stay FUN.**

I don’t need to do everything.

I don’t need to follow every new trend.

I want to build **Jen’s ASL Craft Table** in a way that works for me and helps the Deaf crafting community.

**One day. One project. One step at a time.**

Now, it’s time for me to sign off and rest a bit!
