Today on the podcast we have Jennifer Thompson – wife, mother, and creative soul. Jennifer is a fellow Michigander and lover of sarcasm and humor. She enjoys paper crafts, memory keeping, bible journaling and DIY projects. Her job in sales and event coordinating plays to her strengths: talking to people and making sure things are organized and in order.
SUMMARY //
Jennifer Thompson jumps right into telling Amanda + Kristin about how her life has changed because of the coronavirus pandemic, and what her meltdown looked like. Jen also talks about the kind of creative she is as a mom, and how the working-from-home lifestyle has altered the schedule for her creativity.
Jennifer also explains her creative boundaries and why she says HARD NO to making Halloween costumes and candles, how her favorite things to make are junk journals and December Dailies, and how it is important for women – especially moms – to GET IN THE PICTURE!
