Imagined Awakenings

In the heart of every creation lies a story—a journey of resilience, transformation, and the boundless power of imagination.

Mine began in the shadow of profound loss. As I walked the painful road of caring for my husband during his battle with lung cancer—and ultimately, learning to live in the wake of his passing—I found myself reaching for something to anchor me. In the quiet moments, wrapped in a swirl of grief and memory, creating became my sanctuary.

My first steps into this world of creativity began with crafting bath and body products and shaping delicate polymer clay jewelry. What started as a comforting distraction soon became a lifeline—a way to process pain, pour out love, and stitch the torn edges of my soul back together through art. As time passed, my creativity grew, shifting into other forms of jewelry—each piece a silent storyteller, bearing witness to a life rebuilt.

Eventually, I realized my creations needed space to thrive. The bath and body products found their enchanted home at Soap Witch Crafts, a place where they could continue to bloom. Soon, resin art came calling, full of shimmer and intrigue, and earned its place in the magical realm of The Soap Witch. Each branch of my creativity claimed its own path while staying rooted in one story—mine.

As someone who treasures solitude but occasionally wears a brave extroverted mask, I found peace and restoration in mindful practices. Mindfulness wasn't just something I did—it became something I needed. And one holiday season, a coloring book found its way to me. It was simple, thoughtful, and unexpectedly powerful. The act of coloring—bringing vibrancy to blank lines—became my quiet joy, a gentle meditation I hadn't known I was missing.

Though I doubted my ability to create coloring books of my own, the desire never left me. I wanted to share the same serenity, playfulness, and freedom I’d found in coloring with others. So I followed that spark and began shaping a world that encourages imagination to run wild and free.

Imagined Awakenings was born from that dream—a creative sanctuary where fantasy meets mindfulness. A place where every page invites you to explore, escape, and rediscover parts of yourself you may have tucked away. Each design is a whispered invitation to color outside the lines of reality, and every book is a doorway to another world, one that honors your story as much as mine.

To all my fellow dreamers: never give up on what lights you up. Your imagination is powerful. Your healing matters. And your creative voice deserves to be heard—even if it begins as a whisper.

Let’s wander boldly together—one page, one color, one awakening at a time.
