When Life Hits Pause: A Personal Note from Jen

Hey friends,

This week has been incredibly heavy for me and my family. If you’ve been looking for Make It Monday, Technique Tuesday, or this week’s Ink, Stamp & Repeat… you may have noticed they haven’t gone up as planned.

The reason is deeply personal. Our sweet boy Dozer—my fawn boxer, my loyal shadow, my crafting companion—is going through a serious health decline. Over the past few days, he’s been experiencing cluster seizures, and despite adding medicines and adjusting his current medications, it’s clear that we may be nearing the end of our time with him.

I know many of you are fellow pet lovers and understand the heartbreak that comes with watching your best friend struggle. Right now, my heart and my focus are with Dozer—giving him comfort, snuggles, and all the love in the world while we navigate what may be his final days.

Crafting and creating with you all is one of my greatest joys, and I hate to miss a single opportunity to connect. But for this week, I’m choosing grace over hustle. The content will return—because I love this community—but for now, I just need to be present with my boy.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and love during this time. Hug your pets a little tighter for me tonight.

With love and a heavy heart,
