In addition to writing, Karen crafts hand-painted cards and bookmarks, and finds creative expression through junk journaling. Her work resonates with readers seeking connection, inspiration, and creativity.Beth and Karen talk about the loss of Karen's two beloved cats and how that grief journey led her to begin creating pretty bookmarks, blingy "junk journals," and hand-painted cards to bless her family and her friends and to now sell.
