About Amber

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

This is what a day-long Speaker Sisterhood company retreat looks like. It wouldn’t be complete without a happy mix of love, speaking up, collaboration, technology (why yes, Amber that database IS amazing!), crafting and lots and lots of ice cream. We’re thrilled to report that the state of Speaker Sisterhood is strong and vibrant. If you’re curious to learn what we’re all about we’d love to meet you!

Oh brave, adventurous and amazing women of Speaker Sisterhood, how do we love thee? Let us count the days — until our first annual Speaker Sisterhood Member and Club Leader Appreciation Day! We’re counting the days (89 to be exact) until we show you all the ways we love you! And we think Elizabeth Barrett Browning would approve this bit of poetic license. So, save the date — Saturday August 18 — and get ready for fun, food, connection, games and maybe even some good old fancy speechify’n. Stay tuned and watch this space for details.

In this Claim the Stage podcast, you’ll hear about lessons learned, embarrassing moments (because you know, life), behind-the-scenes stories and great advice for speakers interested in planning a tour. . . The #ClaimTheStagePodcast is available on #ItunesPodcast #GooglePlay #Stitcher #IHeartRadio and #SpotifyPodcast . . For more information go to SpeakerSisterhood.com.

We just love the beautiful shining faces of these Speaker Sisterhood club leaders and their members! The photos were taken at clubs in Collinsville, CT (@AliciaDavis1000), Florence, MA (Cecile Lackie) and Needham, MA (@Wendy.B.Silver). What’s Speaker Sisterhood all about? For starters, it’s a network of speaking clubs for women who seek public speaking skills, the confidence to share their voice, and a strong, supportive circle of friends to help them do it. Hold on now, what’s that? You don’t want to be a public speaker? That’s OK. Speaker Sisterhood helps women discover, awaken and create their voice so they can speak more confidently in any area of life they choose — from the bedroom to the boardroom — and everywhere in between. But we’re more than just a club. This supportive community creates a safe place for self-discovery. A place where women can cultivate their voice, share their truth, develop lasting friendships and build the confidence to get on stage. Come check out a club in your area or one of our virtual clubs — your first two meetings are free. Who knows, you might just surprise yourself. . . For more information go to SpeakerSisterhood.com.
