Daily Art in 5 Minutes with Kim DeShazo - Joleen's Happy Time Craftcast 33

Craftonians! ! Welcome back to the Happy Time Craftcast, where creativity, connection, and a little bit of chaos come together in the best possible way. I’m your host, Joleen, and today’s episode is extra special because I get to chat with one of my absolute favorite people in the art journaling world—Kim DeShazo from The Happy Kim Art!

🌟 Meet the Fabulous Kim DeShazo

Kim is an art journaler, mixed media lover, and creative cheerleader who believes everyone has an artist inside them—even if you don’t think so. She’s the genius behind the Five-Minute Morning practice, where she shows you how just a few minutes of art a day can transform not only your journal pages but also your mood and mindset.

She’s all about helping us midlife creatives reconnect with our artistic spark while making the most of the here and now—with joy, color, and a little glue on our fingers.

And let me just say—her weekly “Five Happy Things” newsletter is like a little gift in your inbox. You’re going to love her as much as I do.
