Hello there!  

​

Welcome to Word Garden Studio - a place of hope and encouragement in the form of cards and other pretty paper goods based in Stokesdale, NC.

​

My creative journey started when I was a child but like many people I thought I "grew out" of art, until I became a mom and found that creating filled me with life and energy in a season when those two things were in short supply!

​

It took me some time to realize where I fit creatively and what my favorite inspirations and ways to create are but I'm learning more and more to embrace the unknown and to just enjoy the journey!

​

Currently my favorite things to make are greeting cards (little powerhouses of encouragement!) and practically limitless potential content!

​

In fact one of my favorite gifts is to send (or receive!) a handwritten note in the mail. I still have some I received decades ago!  

​

As I get older and the world changes more and more I find myself drawn to simpler ways of life and making cards that bring joy and encouragement to others puts a smile on my face too!

​

Thanks for stopping by!

- Lauren
