    Finally, a crafty podcast just for me! Stephanie is so interesting to learn from and I love the guests she has on her show. With her soothing voice, her chit-chat segments feel like you’re hanging with a bestie, talking about all things creative. I can’t recommend it enough and will continue listening as long she keeps making and decorating.
