About Amber Ladley

Amber Ladley is a creative entreprenuer who seeks meaningful projects that light up her soul. Her specialties are talking trash, seeing potential in everyday waste, and igniting creativity in others.

She currently spends her days crafting, computing, and being a mom to two amazing teenagers. Her passion for creative reuse bleeds into everything she does from teaching upcycling workshops, to making handmade gifts and notecards.

Her professional work involves being the Creative Director of the Speaker Sisterhood, a growing network of public speaking clubs for women and leading craft gatherings for grown-ups who miss their creative side (or don’t believe they have one).

My view from the "stage" tonight ❤️ learning the art of public speaking while sharing my love of crafting with Speaker Sisters in Northampton 😊@speakersisterhood
Watching Movies + Making Art = how my kids are spending their summer days ❤️
We finally made it to ComicCon!
I'm so lucky to have spent my Friday morning with these amazing women of the @speakersisterhood! Twice a month we meet at @ohanaperformingarts + practice the art of public speaking together. Each time I leave feeling energized and inspired!

Working outside today on a @speakersisterhood project 😊❤️ #timelapseart #creativereuse #upcycleddictionary
So exciting to see this project come to life! We made almost 500 flowers out of paint chips 😊❤️Thanks @awcolor for the fun opportunity and Lou, Steph, Lenore, Michele, Gayatri, Christina and Tim for your crafty hands!!#paintchipart #upcycledflowers #handmadebouquet #Repost @awcolor with @get_repost ・・・ And then this happened..... . . . (But not without lots of help! A million thanks to @happilyupcycled for helping me make this happen.)
When I got home from @oxfordfreepubliclibrary yesterday, I found this gorgeous photo from library director, Brittany McDougal, who found the perfect vase in her office to display the flowers she created in my #paperflower workshop 😊❤️ I also borrowed a few crafty books before I left for the day — looking forward to spending some time with books by @psimadethis & @valeriemckeehan #creativeinspiration #ilovelibraries
Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of crafting with the creative community of Oxford at the @oxfordfreepubliclibrary — many paper flowers and smiles were made — it was an awesome day!! 😊❤️🌸 #upcycledflowers #papercrafts #creativereuse #librarylove
This week I had the pleasure of presenting upcycling workshops at the Belchertown & Leominster, MA libraries. I had so much fun crafting with their creative communities. We made pumpkins, flowers & explored the art of quilling 😊❤️#creativereuse #upcyclingworkshop #ilovelibraries
Join me for a crafternoon this Saturday! Call the Sunderland Public Library to register: (413) 665-2642 😊❤️#sunderlandma #creativereuse #ilovelibraries
Just look at how happy she is! I found this record at @turnitupnoho in the bargain bin. Of course, I wasn't looking for music, but rather a surface for my latest creative reuse project: finger labyrinths. I discovered this handy meditation tool in the serenity gardens at the @southhadleypubliclibrary earlier this summer & have been thinking about how to make them since. This project came full circle when I discovered that Margie Adam has a thing for labyrinths, too. So her album has not been upcycled (yet!) 😊❤️Swipe to see the finished pieces...they were so much fun to make! #serendipity #repurposedrecords #creativereuse #margieadam #fingerlabyrinth #meditationtool
I learned a new paint technique & suddenly no surface was safe 😊 I painted boxes, buttons, bottle caps and created canvases from wood, cardboard & even a chocolate heart box ❤️so much fun!! thanks @louchmura for the idea & the paint 😘 #crafternoon #upcycling #creativereuse #diypainting #repurposed #trashismycanvas
