Why DIY and Make It With Me?

On location or Online: Zoom/Skype/Facetime

I'm not a big business offering lots of generic classes to the masses.  Think of it as an experience, a time of friends getting together to work on a project.  I empower you to make it.  I am with you through each step of the process to help you achieve your goals and experience the satisfaction of Doing It Yourself.

Whether you're trying to revamp a room in your home, planning a special event, or just want to redecorate, I'd love to help make your space special and memorable.

Do you want to DIY but need a bit of help to...

• Create personal spaces in your home or office
• Setup a creative/craft space
• ​Redecorate with what you have
• Bring order & beauty to spaces or rooms
• Recycle old stuff into new
• Make you home, office, or event feel more personal and special

Planning a DIY Event, I can help you make it special with everything from...

• a visionary to suggest ideas to make it special, set the mood, identify the theme, or flow.
• a doer with multiple skills and a team worker
• an experienced person in multiple skill to help you & friends make event decorations (florals, signs, table decor, menus, favors, ideas, etc)
• an experienced person to be on site, help you, friends, or staff decorate for an event

Managing banquets has a lot of moving parts and is overwhelming just thinking about decorating.  Janise made it easy by making reusable themed centerpieces, and decor.  She even showed me various ways to style the table settings that mix and match for future events saving me money." ~ Sandy
