Shayla’s Creative Side

I am a creative, deep-thinker who loves to laugh and help others see the best of who they are. I've been a journalist for 15+ years and learned people remember how a story (or experience) makes them feel. They don't remember that 15 people came to the party. They remember the party made them feel happy. 

Shayla’s Creative Side combines my passions of creating and connecting. I enjoy creating physical tangible crafts and creating space for conversations to happen. 

LET'S CHAT is a weekly series that creates space for people to talk, share real stories, real experiences and have real conversations that push participants and listeners forward. 

LET’S CRAFT is a DIY Web series offerings tutorials and crafts on a budget. Learn how to transform old finds into new treasures and how to repurpose, how to salvage and how to upcycle for incredible projects.  The videos incorporate thrift store, salvage, clearance, discount and other inexpensive items for crafting.
