Hello! I’m Renee Day, creator of thediyday. Let me just share this…I love art and DIY. I grew up doing crafting and creating and I never really stopped, I incorporate it into just about everything, really.
For instance, I was once a professional photographer. I photographed engagement sessions, weddings, boudoir, and landscapes. After about six years, I decided I needed to do something else, so I applied to grad school. Three years later, I received a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and started interning at an addiction rehabilitation facility. I started implementing art therapy into my sessions when clients couldn’t use their words. It was then I realized how therapeutic art really is. Art speaks volumes, it tells stories.
Here’s a little bit more about me. I was born, raised, and lived in Orange County, California up until June 2018. We moved to Texas; and a short six months later we moved out of state again, to Michigan. My husband James is my biggest supporter and I cannot forget to include my sidekick Cinco (my chihuahua).
I love brush lettering, journaling, embossing, stamping, stenciling, doodling, and crocheting. My love for crafts doesn’t stop. In fact, I also have a published book all about journaling called Creative Journaling.
