Who/What is Craftin' Wife's Creations?

 Hey Y'all!

So... 

Things have changed over the years, I went from the typical crafter, to a business, to a teacher of sorts, and trying to navigate what that looks like on a regular basis.

Then having more interest in going back to the beauty side, and figuring out how (and if) that fits life on the road.

The answers?

I'm still figuring it out... but I have ideas.

A rebrand, if you will..

✨ Meet the Craftin’ Wife: Creativity, Beauty, & Big Dreams on the Open Road 🚐

Hey there, friend! I’m Amanda, the heart and hot glue behind Craftin’ Wife’s Creations—a plus-sized, makeup-loving, book-devouring, craft-obsessed woman living her dream life on the road with my husband, Chris. Together, we travel full-time in our (well-loved) RV, hopping between workamping gigs and wild adventures. But just because we’re mobile doesn’t mean the creativity stops—if anything, it fuels it.

Moving forward I'll use Craftin’ Wife’s Creations as a way to share the things I love most:
🧶 Crafting on a budget
💄 Beauty and self-care, even in campground bathrooms
📚 Cozy reads
🎒 And most of all—DIY creativity with a traveling twist.

📦 Crafting in Small Spaces

Trust me, learning how to paint, glue, and glitter in an RV takes some... creative problem-solving. I'll share tips for storing supplies, working with limited surfaces, and staying inspired when your whole home is on wheels.

You'll see me use everything from thrift store treasures to campground castoffs in my projects—and I’ll walk you through how you can, too. Think of it as glamping meets crafting, with a dash of grit and glam.

💄 Beauty Isn’t Just for Bricks & Mortar

Just because we live in campgrounds doesn’t mean we can’t show up feeling fabulous. I’m all about finding ways to keep up a self-care routine on the road, whether it’s a simple makeup look under the awning or a skincare routine that doesn’t need running water. You'll get honest product reviews, makeup tutorials with natural light, and some real-talk about confidence in a world that doesn’t always make space for plus-sized, makeup loving, crafty women.
