A Peek Behind the Creative Curtain…

I’m leaving for Paris… Today!

I’ve been busy getting all the goodies for the ladies together, packing it all into my suitcases and saying goodbye to my grand babies… and now I’m getting on a plane!

I can’t wait for the 1st Art & Faith Creative Retreat of 2026!

And, would you believe I’m already praying and planning for our 2027 retreats? Yes, it’s TRUE. It takes well over a year to plan each retreat, so I start praying about locations and looking into things far in advance, and I have to say… I’m SO excited about the possibilities for next year! If you want to join us THIS year though, I only have 2 spots left for our Vermont retreat, and you can find the details for that retreat HERE if you’d like to join us.


I also want to take a moment and say that if you’re new here… welcome!

Please say Hi and let me know where you found me. I’ve had so many new followers on IG, YouTube and here on my blog and I thank you for that! You may have found me from my new YouTube channel (last Saturday’s video was so well liked, thank you…) or you may have found me from the FaithFest 2026 that I’m excited to be a part of! It’s been a joy to encourage women in their God-given creativity (even if they don’t think they are creative) for over 15 years now, through our Art & Faith Creative Retreats, and through this blog and social media. You can find out more about our retreats and me and my helpers (my daughters) on my website.


Well, I better get back to packing… but if you’d like to follow along with me in Paris & Brugge for the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing mostly on my IG account and weekly on Saturdays on my YouTube channel.

And, if you don’t know what FaithFest is, but you’d like to know more… you can check out the link below that explains all about this FREE workshop that will go LIVE right after I get back from Paris.

And, here’s a little peek into FaithFest…

One of my favorite parts of Faith Fest is that you don’t just watch someone make a page, you get to peek behind her creative curtain. You see how she thinks. How she wrestles with scripture. How she interprets a verse. How she makes decisions. Where she hesitates. Where she feels bold.

And you quickly realize… that is something beautiful.

This year we’re all teaching from Mark 14:3–6, and you’ll see that same passage come alive in completely different creative expressions.

You can join us free on April 20 and 21! So register to attend right HERE:

I would love for you to experience this alongside me.

And, if you want to check out my YouTube video from last week, you can check it out below:

I’ll have another video up tomorrow, and this one will be all about how I prepare for a trip with my Traveler’s Notebook…and you get a little glimpse behind the retreats as well!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hugs to all,

Laura
