About Me

Hey there, I’m Tana. I’m the hands (and coffee-stained hoodie) behind Create Laugh Grow.

This blog started as a place to share the little things that bring joy to everyday life — from crafty experiments and creative rabbit holes to the kind of project that makes you say, “Wait, I can make that!?”

I’m not a professional maker or a full-time influencer. I’m just someone who loves figuring things out, trying new ideas, and helping others reconnect with their own creativity. Around here, you’ll find a mix of DIY tutorials, honest product recommendations, and a whole lot of yarn scraps. I also often share my screw-ups so you don’t have to learn those the hard way.

A few things you should probably know about me:

• I collect mugs. I’m not sorry about it.

• I share my home with two rescue dogs who are equal parts sweet and chaotic.

• One of my favorite phrases is “but we’ll learn things!” because I rarely do it perfectly, but I always figure out how to do it better next time.

• I'm working toward a creative, intentional life and sharing what I learn as I go.

If you're looking to make cool stuff, get inspired, or shake the dust off your creative brain, you're in the right place. Welcome.
