Classic Amy Joanne

I am Classic Amy Joanne and I was born on February 6, 2014. I am the blog from Amy Joanne Mogish’s creative heart and mind, with all the dreams, hopes and desires for sharing creative happiness.

Feels like just yesterday the Classic Amy Joanne blog was created in Jane Allen’s kitchen (remember Jane?) searching for website presence, domain names, email addresses and social media pages.

There were many many many steps leading up to this day ~ 30 years of learning, traveling, growing, creating, struggling, with some growing pains too. It was time….time for ‘Classic Amy Joanne’ to become a business. This is the day Classic Amy Joanne appeared as a blog, as an email and as a FaceBook person and business.

This story could read as long as the novel ‘War & Peace’ ~ from my first painting class to today’s creative biz…..but for today ~ enjoy reading snippets of a few favorites, the first post and most popular from the creative business called Classic Amy Joanne.

This is the very first published photo and a link to the very first blog post. Get ready….this is a show stopper.

Click ‘here’ for the very first blog post of Classic Amy Joanne.

Oh My.

Please don’t judge….we all gotta start somewhere, lol!

The blog has grown alot since those first days….and creative life has happened and been shared.

We have had milestones, number crunching, most popular posts, blog hops, favorite posts and comments. Free patterns, how-to’s, life stories, DIY’s, Studio tours, Paint, Pencil and Recipe Card Projects too. There has been ‘Classic Copies’, Shopping, ‘Recipe Card Project’, Autumn Vignettes, ‘Heartfelt, Handmade, and Homespun’, along with introductions to Classic Chalk Art and Classic Cling Rubber Stamps.

not to mention ~ pretty photos and heartfelt stories and alotta creativity…..and the joy of sharing.

There is a Welcome Page with ‘About me’ …… a Blog Tab with categories to choose from or simply just scroll thru. There is a Shop tab for all your favorites in Acrylics, Colored Pencil, Classic Chalk Art and Classic Cling Rubber Stamps to……and a Workshop page to catch a class or two!

There has been changes in appearance and changes in style ~ with new additions and a few things let-go.

Sharing projects to fill your Heart and Home.

Always Art & Home.
