We’re Tanner & Courtney and crafting is our favorite. There is no better way to spend the day than with a paint brush in your hand creating a mess as well as beautiful things. We both pretty much live and breath DIY. We love sharing what we create in hopes to inspire others. That is why A Little Craft In Your Day was born.

Stephenie Hamen is dedicated to creating a prettier, happier, and more beautiful world, at least in her little corner of the prairie, in Sun Prairie, WI.
Stephenie was holding crayons and a hammer when she came out of the womb and hasn’t stopped since. By three she had her own workbench in her dad’s wood shop and was going thru reams of newsprint with wild abandon.
Stephenie is a mixed media artist, paper crafter, avid home cook and recipe writer, as well as a mother of 2 boys, Owen and Jacob, and wife to Matt. Stephenie started out as a teacher and loves to take that passion for education to teach others about creating and living an artful life.
