    Welcome to the Journal

    (We’ve got fun and games)

    Hello, and welcome to the Happy Makes Journal!

    This space is where I share the stories behind the making — the happy mess where glitter, paint, and a dash of rebellion meet!

    You might be wondering, why “Journal” and not “Blog”? Well, here’s the thing: A blog sounds organised and up-to-date, and feels like I have to write perfectly polished posts every time. But a journal? It’s all about sharing what’s real, unfiltered, and messy — a place where I can try out ideas, chat about what’s inspiring me, and even show you the bits of my creative process that don’t always make the cut. No rules, just fun.

    This is where the magic happens (or the chaos — depending on the day). Here, you’ll find all sorts of fun stuff:

    • Sneaky peeks at what I’m working on (no filter, just real creative life)
    • My thoughts on the beauty of making, experimenting, and, yes, sometimes making a mess
    • Little sparks of inspiration to help you unleash your creativity

    It’s all about creating something that makes you smile, no matter how messy it gets. So if you’re ready to dive into a world of sparkles, ideas, and crafty chaos, you’re in the right place.

    Let’s create something wonderful — just for fun.
