Have you ever had one of those days where everything just flows together like watercolors on paper? Let me paint you a picture of a particularly magical day in the studio! âĄď¸
The Recording Studio Takes Flight â¨
The morning marked a milestone that had been living in my imagination for months â officially opening my "recording studio" at the cabin! After testing different tech setups (because we all know how fussy audio can be), I finally recorded my first three lessons for the upcoming courses for The Yellow Studio.
Let me tell you, fellow creatives, sitting there in front of the microphone, sharing knowledge that I've been collecting like precious gemstones over the years â it felt absolutely magical. There's something so special about knowing these lessons will soon reach so many of you, helping transform your creative passions into thriving businesses.
Family, Gold, and Ocean Breezes
Between recordings, I had one of those heartwarming calls with my dad that just fills your soul. He was bubbling with excitement about a new gold-panning spot he discovered. It makes my heart so full watching him and my husband share this hobby â they're like two kids on a treasure hunt, using gold panning as their excuse to spend hours by the ocean. (Don't we all need those little excuses to do what we love?) đ
Nature's Evening Show
After wrapping up the recording session, I treated myself to what artists do best â finding inspiration in the everyday moments. Armed with a steaming cup of hot cocoa, I settled onto the deck to watch nature paint the sky. The sunset was absolutely spectacular â imagine hot pink clouds dancing across the bluest canvas you've ever seen. These are the moments that remind us why we create, aren't they? đ
Behind the Scenes: Course Development
Speaking of creation, I'm excited to share a glimpse into my course development process! I started an innovative "mock beta test" using Claude.ai. Think of it as having a detail-oriented friend review your work â I'm walking through the course content, gathering questions and feedback to ensure everything flows as smoothly as watercolor on wet paper. I'm particularly interested in Claude's thoughts on the overall direction and plan. (Let me know in the comments if you'd like to hear more about this process!)
Marketing Updates
For my fellow data enthusiasts, here's a quick snapshot of my current marketing experiment using Facebook Leads Ads: Iâm up to 4 leads with a CPL of $3.60. I'm particularly excited about this CPL being well below industry standard, and I'm already planning some tweaks to make it even better. Thatâs four more fun artists that want to hang out in the studio!
Looking Forward
As we move forward together, I'd love to hear what topics you're most curious about. Whether it's print-on-demand, marketing strategies, social media presence, business development, or anything else that would help your creative journey â drop your questions in the comments below! đź
P.S. If you're feeling uncertain about which social media platform to focus on, Iâll be sharing my in-depth post about the current state of social media soon. I wrote it with you in mind!
Oh my dear sweet friend Blume;
I donât know for sure if these pictures are of what youâre hoping to accomplish in your imagination or are now your blessed reality. Either way, theyâre absolutely beautiful!

But I DO know that youâre an amazing person, creative and inspiration to me and I am so very happy for you and proud too.
Youâre an amazing woman! Keep it up! Iâm blessed to be able to see what youâre up to. Thanks so much for being open and sharing your gifts and talents with us! I look forward to seeing more đ
