First YouTube Anniversary

While the pandemic was devastating there were some good moments that happened in 2020. For years, I had dreamed of creating YouTube crafting tutorials and last year in the mist of the stressful times, I got started. My channel is called K. Simone Designs and I would love for you to visit and subscribe if you haven't. Join the inspiration party! 

June of 2020, I posted my first tutorial called, "Mini Album Card." Did you see it? I was so excited to share my favorite mini album card with the world. I had been making them for years and this video got a great reception.

Since then, I have continued to learn and grow in my videos. I am so proud of my progress and determination to stick with it in spite of the highs and lows. I hope you all have enjoyed the variety of content I have produced. My goal was to inspire you and based on the comments, I think I met that objective. Yay! :)

Let's look at some of my YouTube stats as of today.

Some of my favorite YouTube moments!

Crafting Author and TV personality Mark Montano made these cute mini journals and I decided to try it out. I did and made a video about my version of his journals. Then, he left me this cool comment and also left love for me on his Facebook page!

Alicia of Call Me {Crafty} Al  Sheetload of Cards posted this message to her YouTube community and as a result, that video has gone VIRAL! (This video is still growing, too!)


One of my favorite videos was, "Husband Scrapbooks with Me." I loved making this video with my dear husband, Ron. This was his first time scrapbooking and joining one of my videos. We had so much fun and hope to do another video again.

In addition to my papercrafting videos, I created my first art series called "Story Time With..." In these videos, I shared art I made from years ago, their meaning and my life lessons.

Well, that is it for now but again thanks to you all for your support and I look forward to making more fun videos this year. Be inspired!

    Congratulations on your YouTube 1 Year Anniversary, Honey! It's hard to believe that it has just been 1 year. You have created so much content during that timeframe. I am proud of you for all of the well done and very inspirational videos that you have created (even in spite of your challenging times). Looking forward to many more videos in the future. Ron

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  " The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE     Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

Housework or Handcrafts?

Welcome to Inspired Me 411! Here's a question, would you rather wash dishes or craft???? My hand is up for CRAFTING!!!! Do you ever feel like spending time doing arts and crafts is "lollygagging"  or wasting time? During this global pandemic, most of us are busy cooking, cleaning, home schooling, working and other tasks. We are all in need of some personal play time especially now, right? When I am at my art table, I feel peaceful and that result has been good enough for me. But as I was doing some research, I discovered much, much more was happening in my body and mind. The research tells the benefits based on scientific, psychological, historical and personal accounts. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist or scientist but I am a woman who has faced depression, anxiety and related conditions for years. When I started on my journey of wellness and self care, arts and crafts became one of my best remedies. It didn't heal all my problems but it has given...
