Does this sound like you?
You have so many craft ideas pinned to various Pinterest boards, but you can't seem to get started on any of them because your craft space is a hot mess, and you have like zero time. Plus, you've got 293 half finished projects that you really should work on first before starting a new one.
Let’s face it, there’s nothing more frustrating than finally sitting down to make that fun new project you’ve had in mind for weeks, only to realize you have no idea where your Mod Podge is and never actually stopped at Hobby Lobby to get the supplies you needed. And there’s nothing worse than the Crafter’s Guilt that comes along with tossing yet another half – finished DIY into your pile of WIP’s to collect crafty dust.
But you promise yourself, “You’ll finish it before starting something else”. So it’s ok.
And the viscous cycle continues.
Your craft space is a mess. You don’t know what supplies you have vs. what ones you need. You don’t have any time to figure it out. You’ve got zero inspiration to finish what you’ve started. And you’re not even that crafty anyway.
Other crafters make it look so easy. But for you? Nope. You thought the hard part was going to be deciding on what projects you wanted to do, but that was just the beginning. And now you feel like you must be missing something.
Well guess what?
You are missing something.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Most Crafters are.
The truth is, regularly creating Craft Projects that you can be proud of is a game changer. One that will boost your confidence, inspire you to create more, and even dream up projects you never thought you could do on your own!
The problem? Finding the time to craft AND cleaning and organizing your craft area AND finding inspiration and motivation AND tackling your PHD’s (projects half done), often make achieving your creative goals more trouble than it’s worth.
But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right this time?
You deserve to spend less time scrolling Facebook crafting groups, and more time Creating in your craft room!
Imagine having a project you want to make, all the supplies on hand, a clean and organized craft area to make it in, and the time and inspiration to start and finish it?
Here's what you could do in just 4 weeks...
Planning
Effectively plan out all of your projects in advance so that you have the time to complete them, instead of giving up and tossing them into the pile of other PHD's (Projects Half Done).
Craft Area
Clean and organize your craft area so that you save money on supplies you don't need, because you won't have to buy an extra glue gun at Walmart since you can't find the 4 you already have stashed in your craft room somewhere.
WIPs (Work In Progress)
Finish ALL your half done projects and beat the 'Crafters Guilt' that comes along with not finishing the crafts you start, and wasting money on supplies you never use!
Craft Supplies
Keep a running inventory and shopping supply list, so that you never have to stop mid-craft because you're out of Mod Podge.
Zone of Creativity
Discover your 'Zone of Creativity', and learn why creating in it allows you to get more crafty work done in less time, with results you can be proud of
INspiration
Find the inspiration and motivation to move from scrolling Pinterest for ideas and buying craft supplies, to getting into the craft room and actually making them!
INTRODUCING...
My 4 week program will give you the tools you need to master the key areas of your creative life. I walk you step-by-step through finishing all of your WIPs, cleaning and organizing your craft space, making project plans you can stick to, and connecting with the crafting community-- so that by the end of our time together, you'll be unstuck from the inspiration loop of seeing ideas and buying supplies, and have moved on to actually creating them.
AS SEEN IN
Master the 4 areas of crafting that will take you from thinking to creating
Conquer your Calendar
Finding time is one of the biggest struggles for crafters, and that’s because most are going about it wrong and trying to craft whenever they have the time, instead of making the time to craft. Planning out your projects, scheduling craft time, and setting creative goals are key to your DIY success.
Conquer your Clutter
Having a clean and organized craft space, no matter how big or small, is key to accomplishing your creative pursuits. I’ll walk you through tackling all your Half Done Projects, organizing in a way that you can stick with, and you’ll learn why shopping for supplies (when done right) is actually the way to stay clutter free.
Conquer your Creativity
You don’t have to be a “crafty person” to create things that you can be proud of, you just need to be inspired. I’ll show you how to discover your Zone of Creativity, and why creating in it is a game changer.
Conquer and Connect
What fun is making pretty things, if you have no one to share them with! Finding and giving inspiration to others is essential to following your DIY Dreams, so I’ll introduce you to the Crafting Community and show you where to find people to create and connect with.
"Amanda is the Queen of getting projects done."
Before Amanda knocked some sense into me, I decided that I simply did not have the time to craft anymore. Once she showed me how to plan my projects out in advance, I started finishing projects left and right giving me the motivation to tackle all the ones I had half finished in my craft closet. Her systems for getting more done are a total game changer!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The short answer? If you’re trying to get more get more crafts done, including all those half finished projects, then YES.
The longer answer is this: CYCL is for anyone who has a disaster of a craft area and no time to clean it let alone craft in it, and wants to be able accomplish more crafts that can be proud of to show off to friends or decorate their home. It’s for anyone who’s been scared to tackle the pile of WIP’s (work in progress) that have been collecting crafty dust for over a year.
Conquer your Crafty Life is designed to take the mystery out of how to actually start AND finish all those projects you’ve collected on your Pinterest Craft Boards. And so, whether you’re a seasoned crafter, or a total beginner, or even if you used to craft and are just getting back into it, CYCL will provide step by step instruction, support, and resources to help you get out of the inspiration loop and into the Craft room so you can get more projects done and achieve your crafty goals.
The curriculum is extremely comprehensive, and over the course of 4 weeks it will literally walk you through finishing your WIP’s (work in progress), finding inspiration and discovering your Zone of Creativity, cleaning and organizing your craft space (whether its a room, a closet, or a corner!), planning out your future projects, saving money on shopping for supplies, and how to time in your busy life to craft.
Enrollment in CYCL includes 4 Live sessions with lifetime access to recordings (the number of total lessons is subject to change, as multiple lessons may be taught in one Live session, but there are currently 7 total lessons with a Bonus lesson). Each live session will have a Q&A at the end where you will have the opportunity to ask any and all questions, and get feedback and advice from me on your specific situation.
As a bonus, enrollment also includes access to a private Facebook group where you can get continued support from myself and other students, ask questions, get inspiration for projects, and share your progress and current projects.

Everything you need to be successful in achieving your creative goals.
Conquer your Crafty Life will be taught LIVE and will begin on April, 8th. There will be 1 session delivered Live per week on Thursday (a poll for students could change this), over the course of 4 weeks. So there will a lesson session Thursday, April 8th, and then April 15th, 22nd, and 29th. We will take a poll for available times, but I’m thinking they will most likely be in the evening to accommodate those who work, and if you cannot attend live, recordings will be available with the opportunity to ask your questions, comments, and feedback. Since this is a Beta program, you will be asked for feedback on each session so that I can ensure I am providing the absolute most value, and addressing all of your crafty problems as we continue throughout the 4 week program.
Each lesson will aim to be under an hour with a Q&A session as long as the students need. All sessions will be recorded so you can watch them on your own time, and you have lifetime access to refer to. The lessons will have video and audio, so you are able to listen with earphones on the go or in the car. Depending on several factors such as the number of half finished projects you have and the state of your craft area/room, the assignments for each lesson can be done in as little as fifteen minutes a day, or if you choose to do them in one sitting could take up to and over an hour. But the lessons are FUN and enjoyable, c’mon were crafting! With that being said, this program is designed to help you plan and organize your craft life, which equips you with time saving techniques empowering you to get more done, in less time.
One of the bonuses offered to you as a beta member is a private Facebook group where you can ask me questions and receive support and feedback on conquering your crafty life. At this time, I do not have ongoing support in the form of a membership group, but I do plan to launch a Crafting group in the near future and I’ll be sure to tell you all about it when I do!
The lesson sessions will be delivered live in a private Facebook group where you have access to watch the replays at your convenience. The video will be exported and uploaded into a 3rd party system where you will receive the link to access via email, if you do not have or do not wish to use a Facebook account.
The Facebook group will be organized by “guides” where all of the written PDF’s and Worksheets for each lesson will be held.
Bonuses will be delivered via email immediately after purchase, so you don’t have to wait until the course starts on April 8th to dig in if you’re too excited to wait!
This is a special Live beta course that has never been offered before, so I am offering it at an extremely low introductory rate. If you are not happy with the course and/or you do not receive the expected results, I offer a 100% Happiness Guarantee so long as you can show that you have done all assignments as instructed.
Success in this program requires that you take consistent, focused action, that you actually show up for yourself, and take the time to apply what you are learning and complete all of your course assignments.
Basically, you can’t expect Conquer your Crafty Life to magically work for you. You’ve got to do the work and invest in yourself.
With that being said, I am completely dedicated to your success-so I’ll do just about anything to support you along the way. If you still don’t find what you’re looking for, shoot me an email- I’m happy to help you find the answers.
And regardless of where YOU are at right now in your DIY crafting journey, regardless of if you’ve already tried and failed to make time for your crafts, Conquer your Crafty Life can help. It provides an in depth, step-by-step plan to help you not just take action, but to take the right action.
What others in Manda Panda Projects COmmunity are saying...
Meet the Maker!
I’m Amanda! I know exactly what it’s like to be bursting with creative ideas while working my day job, and then when I’ve got the time, I’ve got nothing.
No creativity.
No Motivation.
No system in place to capture all the crafty things I want to do!
Inspiration comes at the most unlikely times, and if I just waited until I had the opportunity to craft, it would never happen. A few years ago I discovered that I couldn’t just craft when I had the time, I had to make the time to craft. This simple shift was a game changer and I stopped thinking about all the things I wanted to create, and started actually creating them!
My goal for you is to get you unstuck from that Inspiration Loop of scrolling Pinterest and buying craft supplies, and get you into the craft room making *all the things*!
You can read more about me and my story HERE.
Getting Crafty doesn't have to be something you USED to do
By the end of this program, you’ll be so inspired to craft that you’ll come home from work each day and go right to your craft room before you even take off your bra!
