From One Spark to One Million Views
I can hardly believe I’m typing this.
This little corner of the internet — the one I started all the way back in 2011 to share my art, my doll repairs, my family stories, and the messy beauty of creative living — has now been read more than 1,104,000 times.
And it’s still growing. Over 10,000 people visit every single day to read, learn, and wander through the archives of Mandaline Artful Living.
When I first began this blog, I never expected anyone but a few friends or family members to read it. I wrote from the kitchen table while babies napped and laundry tumbled, using the only quiet hours I could find to document what I was learning. Doll repair tutorials, garden updates, recipes, business experiments — it was all part of my life, so I shared it all.
Some of you have been here since the very beginning. You watched my children grow up, saw my business evolve, and even joined me when my little side hustle became a full-time income. You’ve left comments that turned into conversations, and over the years, you’ve become a part of my story.
So today, I wanted to pause and simply say: thank you.
Thank you for every click, every share, every kind word that kept me writing when I wasn’t sure anyone was reading. Thank you for being here through the transitions, from doll repair to digital business, from hands-on art to the art of creating freedom.
🕯️ The Celebration
To mark the moment, I lit a single sparkler on a cake.
It felt fitting... one tiny spark representing all the small, steady moments that led here.
The late nights writing tutorials.
The first sale that made my heart race.
The quiet afternoons packaging orders while the kids played.
The faith that even a humble blog post could ripple out and reach someone who needed it.
That’s what this milestone means to me: proof that small, consistent steps, lit by creativity and heart, can lead to something incredible.
✨ What’s Next
I’ve started a new chapter focused on helping others build their own version of freedom — especially women who, like me, once dreamed of staying home with their families and contributing income.
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your passions into profit (without living online or chasing algorithms), I’d love to invite you to my free Wake Up to Sales Masterclass.
It’s where I teach the same 3-step system that turned this very blog into the foundation for a six-figure business.
You’ll learn how to create consistent sales, clarity, and calm — without sacrificing your life for your laptop.
