It's a little like hanging out with friends while you art.
Today's guest is May Flaum.
When it comes to crafting May Flaum has one rule: it’s gotta make her happy. She’s not afraid to get super grungy or work with bright colors, dabble in lace and doilies then make something more splattered and wild. If she’s not in her studio (aka ‘the bat cave’) then she’s probably out running around having fun with her family or cooking up a storm. May has been working in the scrapbooking industry for a decade and currently blogs [www.mayflaum.com] her crafty adventures, teaches on-line classes, and works with amazing companies sharing her projects and ideas. If she has one piece of advice to share, it’s always to be true to your creative heart.
You can find May's most recent e-book, "Fashionably Fast" here.
On today's podcast we discuss May's long and very interesting career in the scrapbook industry. The theme of being true to yourself — both creatively and in your career path — is strong throughout this episode. I found it to be a very inspiring conversation and I hope you will too! (And here is the link to May's creative journey, as promised on the podcast.)

This is one of my favorite episodes – I love how down to earth all three of you are. It was so refreshing to hear May’s philosophy on her work and the art/craft world in general. It also reminds me there *is* a place for those of us just doing our own thing.
My only wish? More Adventures in Arting! I also love it when you and your mom chat, Julie. You guys should do some episodes with just the two of you. I love your mom’s perspective on things and asks such thoughtful, interesting questions.
Actually, I think one of your guests should be your mom- I’d love to know more about her interests and passions.
