You just need to open a book and feel inspired.” – Joleen Emery “Creative practice doesn’t have to be a big, serious production — sometimes it’s a drive-by collage or a quick fold that sparks joy.” – Joleen Emery Resources and Links ✨ Big Raven Farm Retreats – 2026 Calendar https://bigravenyoga.com/pages/retreats ✨ Creative Collage by Naomi Vona (available on Amazon) ✨ Tools mentioned: bone folders (plastic and cattle bone versions) ✨ Joleen’s favorite base books: Reader’s Digest Condensed Books Love "Happy Time Craftcast"? 👉Don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts and leave a review to help others discover our crafty community 👉Stay tuned for more Happy Time Craftcast with Joleen Emery.
