Hey What's Goin on?

Hey, what’s goin’ on!

If you’re new here, I’m Erin — teacher by day, resin artist by night, and professional juggler of all the things in between. This time of year always feels like a whirlwind. End‑of‑year tasks at school pile up faster than pencils disappear from my classroom, and on the business side I’m taking product photos, posting updates, managing finances, and working through a few custom orders that I’m really excited about.

But let me tell you something important: I could not do any of this without my people.

My husband, kids, sister‑in‑law, and mother‑in‑law have been absolute lifesavers. Truly. My husband especially makes sure I don’t forget to take a break — because if left to my own devices, I absolutely would.

And speaking of breaks… we took one.

This past Saturday we spent the day at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg for the Food & Wine Festival, and it was exactly what my brain and heart needed. Good food, good company, and a chance to breathe. Plus, I got some gorgeous photos that I can’t wait to share.

🎨 Help Me Choose My Next Color Palette!

If you received my very first newsletter (still so excited about that!), you might remember the question I asked:

“What color palette should I pour next — ocean breeze blue or sunset purple?”

Well, I’m asking you here too! So far, ocean breeze blue has one vote, but it’s still anyone’s game.

Whichever palette gets the most votes — between comments here and replies to the newsletter — will be the one I use for my first-ever resin‑making video. I’m both nervous and excited, but mostly excited.

Drop your vote below:

• Ocean breeze blue
• Sunset purple

🌻 Custom Work Spotlight

I recently wrapped up a beautiful custom bathroom set featuring:

• A sunflower tray
• Matching soap dish
• Soap dispenser
• Brush holder
• Small jewelry jar

It turned out so pretty, and I’ll be posting the full gallery on my website later this week. Keep an eye out — it’s one of my favorite sets I’ve made so far.
