POV: A company sees you & your daughter ducking Jeeps… and sends you THIS. 🥹🦆

The sweetest surprise showed up for Clover (yes, my Jeep has a name 😆). Meet her new Emotional Support Ducks! 🦆 Such a fun little addition to our Jeep adventures. 🥹🫶🏼

Aren’t they so cute?! Thanks Relatable we love it!

If you need some Emotional Support Ducks too 💖🦆 Find them in my bio under Amazon Storefront → Ducks!

DAY 4 of figuring out this xTool laser machine that’s been collecting dust for 4 years… and today we’re trying a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. 🙌🏼

I have this SVG that works with one of my silkscreen stencils, so let’s see if I can figure out how to make it work! 😆

Every day I’m learning something new with this thing… and I’m kinda proud of myself! 👏

Anyone else have a craft machine sitting around that they STILL haven’t learned how to use?! 😂🙋🏼‍♀️

Be sure to LIKE & FOLLOW to see how these look painted and chalked… and what else I make with this laser! 👀🎨✨

DAY 3 of figuring out this xTool laser machine… and my Dad finally joined me! 😂🙌🏼

Today we’re actually making something… custom stocking tags! 🎄✨

You guys, I am SUCH a newbie at this. 😂 We’re literally learning as we go, testing things out, figuring out what works… and probably doing a few things the hard way. 🙈 But honestly, that’s half the fun, right?

Now I guess I need to start designing things I actually want to cut, playing around with different fonts and figuring out all the different surfaces this thing can handle. 👀 I have a feeling we’re about to go down a whole new crafting rabbit hole because my dad keeps YouTubing all the things this beast can do. 😂 I even have a rotary attachment hiding somewhere in the garage, so apparently tumblers are in our future too! 🙌🏼

What should my Dad & I try making NEXT?! Give us some ideas! 👇🏼 And if you want some custom stocking tags… hit us up! 😆🎄 We’d love to make them for you.

I don’t make the rules… once September hits, pumpkin spice becomes a personality trait. 😂🎃☕️

So naturally, I needed to DIY a shirt to match. 🙌🏼🤎

Who else is in their Pumpkin Spice Life era?! 🎃☕️🍂

A little spooky cute crafting today! 👻🖤

I kept this one super simple with black + white chalk paste and I’m obsessed with how cute this little ghost turned out. 😍

Andddd… perfect timing because all of the Halloween goodies in my online store are 50% OFF right now! 🙌🏼 So if you’ve had your eye on any of the Halloween designs, now’s the time to grab them!

Are you decorating for Halloween yet or are you still holding onto fall? 👇🏼🎃

DAY 2 of figuring out this xTool laser machine I’ve had sitting around for 4+ years. 😂🙌🏼

Today’s mission… get the exhaust hose set up and vented outside AND finally test this thing out! 😆 We started simple with a little engraving test and spoiler alert… IT WORKS. 🎉

Also, please ignore the random mid-video outfit change. Apparently learning how to use a laser requires multiple wardrobe AND hair changes. 🙈

My dad had an appointment today so he couldn’t join me, but I think he’ll be over tomorrow for the fun part. We’re going to attempt our first actual project… cutting AND engraving a custom stocking tag I’ll design in the software. 👀🤞🏼

I’m basically learning this thing one step at a time, but I’m already getting excited about all the things we could make! 😍

If there’s something specific you’d like to see us try OR show you how to make, drop your ideas below! 👇🏼 We’ll learn together. 🙌🏼

Soooo I’ve had this xTool laser machine for OVER 4 YEARS… and I’m finally attempting to figure out how to use it. 😂🙈

My dad, who’s retired now, has been encouraging me to get this thing up and running because he wants a fun hobby that we can learn and do together. 🥹❤️ And honestly… I think this could be SO much fun! I’ve just been majorly procrastinating because, well… LIFE. 😂

So here we go… DAY 1 of figuring out this machine. 😆🙌🏼 I got it set up AND connected to the computer, so I’m calling that a WIN.

Next up… figuring out the software. 😅 Pretty sure my friend ChatGPT is about to become my personal xTool instructor. 😂 My dad’s coming over sometime this week, so I better figure it out QUICK!

Wish us luck! 😂🙌🏼

Any xTool/laser pros out there?! What’s the ONE thing you wish you knew when you first started? 👇🏼
