Meet Raychell Kennedy
Hey there. I’m Raychell, the creator behind My Creative Way.
I started this blog in 2009 as a simple creative outlet, then took a long break while life got busy. Now I am back and rebuilding this space with fresh tutorials and clear direction. I am sorting through nearly 600 old posts and keeping only the ones that support the heart of this blog. If you want crafting confidence, creative ideas, and simple business tips, you are in the right place.
I married my high school sweetheart in 2003. We have two amazing kids and a house full of pets. Life is loud and fun and crafting has always been the thing that keeps me grounded.

Why I Created This Blog
I wanted to be the mom who could make anything. I wanted to sew costumes, bake cakes,
decorate parties, and create memories my kids would remember forever. I learned by practicing, failing, and trying again. Now I want to help you do the same.
My Creative Way is for anyone who wants to learn new skills, get creative, and possibly earn money from home. You do not need a big budget. You do not need business experience. You only need the desire to learn something new.
