Hi! I’m Amy. I run Mod Podge Rocks!
It’s a blog all about decoupaging with Mod Podge. If you think there can’t possibly be enough Mod Podge projects to talk about something every day, I have to completely agree with you. Yet somehow there are enough projects, and I blog every single day (sometimes twice!). Come visit me to see the wonder. I’m so happy to be here, I really can’t tell you. It’s amazing. I love looking inside people’s lives. The first thing you should know about me? My life isn’t perfect. I craft in my living room, and it’s dumpy.
I work full time and blog and try to live a good life too, so I’m constantly in a state of trying to figure out what I need to do next. That means that a lot of the time my bed looks like this.
And sometimes it’s even worse. Sometimes my laundry gets dog hair all over it right after it’s clean. And that’s because of these guys.
From left to right, they are Walker, Nellie and Roxie, and they are my roommates here at Mod Podge Command Central. They are pretty good most of the time, though things can get quite serious when they are hungry. Luckily they are cute.
I started Mod Podge Rocks about three years ago as a hobby just to see what would happen. I already have a career in Marketing and so never really thought about a career blogging. It was just for fun. Then I realized how much I love sharing creativity and connecting with people. It’s gotten a little more serious in the last two years – though I still have a full-time job, Mod Podge Rocks is definitely a “job” for me. The most fun one I’ll ever have! Here are five other things you should know about me besides what I’ve already told you: I’m an Aquarius and fit the description to a tee – my head is completely in the clouds. I’m the oldest of five children and super hard on myself. I love to laugh, have fun and make goofy faces. I’m the daughter of an alcoholic and suffer from generalized anxiety disorder. My philosophy is that you only live once – therefore I will try almost anything at least one time. As you can imagine since I’m here, I also love to create! While I feature a lot of people on my blog, I also feature my own tutorials. I’ve been making things in some capacity (whether it be sewing, knitting or Mod Podging) since I was very little.
Here are a few examples of some of my favorite projects:
Clockwise from upper left:
Make Your Own Glass Clings
Refurbished Key Portrait
Holiday Dessert Stand
Painted Acorns
Carnival Ticket Bowl
Silhouette Gift Tags
Dimensional Magic Belt Buckles
DIY Bangle Bracelets
This might sound corny, but it’s true – I love meeting new people. You are always welcome in my community. Whether you want to contribute your own creativity, see the work of others or really find out what the hay Mod Podge is all about, I’d love to have you. You can find me every single day here:
I also have two other blogs that are my pet projects, and I really want you to come visit them as well:
Décor Hacks
Crafterminds
See you soon!
Amy is giving one lucky commenter an assortment of Mod Podge … Just think of the great projects you can create!
Thanks Amy!

I know of Amy through her Mod Podge Rocks blog and was even lucky enough to be featured. I did not know she had two other blogs, but I will be checking those out! I’d love a chance to try this assortment as I usually just use my matte Mod Podge for projects.
First off, love your green shirt! Second, thanks so much for the pics that show a normal household-maybe someday I will be brave enough to show mine! Have to check out your other blogs-thanks for great inspiring projects! Would love to win the assortment-great way to branch out and try some new things!

I’d love to win this giveaway! I have visited Mod Podge Rocks before, but was not aware that you have two other blogs as well. I just checked them both out and can see that I will be spending even more time on the computer than I do already. I love the lamp transformation project on Decor Hacks! Thank you for sharing your creativity and neglecting your housework, all in the name of art.
so generous!
Amazing projects!! How creative!
Very cool, I’m modging an altered chalk board as we speek!
would love to win some modge podge!
Neeeeeeet projects! Gonna keep an eye on the her blogs!
Fantastic – your room looks quite similar to mine :) Terrible but there are more important creative things to attend to than making one’s bed! I love the frame with the keys and would certainly have it hanging in my “creative” room too. I’ll probably hit you with some blog love today as well – http://itsthatkat.blogspot.com Keep up the great work!
Love the pics! ;-) I can totally relate to the chaos of creativity! (and dog hair) … lol! Thanks for a chance to win some Modge Podge! I’m off to check out your other sites!!
Thanks for the chance to win the modge podge. I will check out your site.
Just add my name into the hat!I love everything “Craft”!

Nice to meet you Amy! I agree, Mod Podge rocks and I always have a large jar or two of it on my worktable. :)
Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas! Can’t wait to visit your blogs. Modge Podge does Rock!
Love that refurbished key frame! What a pretty idea!
I do manage to get a couple of mod podge projects in a year. I will check out the other sites I have visited mod podge rocks in the past but I think I should head over again.
I have your button on my side bar.
I have dog hair all over my clean clothes too ;-) Thank you for the opportunity to win some modge podge. I have a dresser that is calling out for decoupaged drawer fronts!
I agree, mod podge does rock!
I have a WWC button on my blog!
I just started using Mod Podge recently and love it. I was amazed that I could use it over my inkjet prints and the colors didn’t run. The assortment would be such a treat.
Martha is teaching Annabelle, The Sweet Pea Whimble, how to decoupage and she is so excited. Wait until you see what she does. You are an inspiration to all of the Whimbles!
Thank You!
Martha Young

The WWC button is on my blog. :)
I put a link to Amy’s generous giveaway on the sidebar of my blog — gotta spread the word! :)
I love reading Mod Podge Rocks! Very inspirational. Amy, it’s interesting to read a little about your life. I was amazed to read that MPR isn’t your full time job. It seems like it would be so much work that it would be. You do a great job with it, keeping it fun and interesting.
Have loved your blog for ages, Amy – and duh! now I’m following you on Twitter :) Actually, I’m looking forward to using some Mod Podge in my daughter’s classroom this week when we make a Mother’s Day gift!!
New to your blog, love it! Modge Podge Rules!
I love the Mod Podge Rocks site…so inspiring!
Love these projects!
Love how REAL your
writing is, too! I
will most definitely
meander over and knock
on your blog door. Thanks
for the chance to win
this great giveaway!

I would love to be the chosen one for these products. :) We have modpodged over 15 suictases with beautiful pictures and everyone is always so facinated with them.
I have a WWC button on my blog, and I have for a while now ;)
You’ve got some great ideas! Love your candid approach. It’s refreshing.
Got a good laugh at the vision of a full time Mod Podging job! Easy, you just decopodge anything that doesn’t move! I’m sure you’ve tried it all. I love your enthusiasm, and now pass the bottle….I’ll take matte….
This is a great giveaway, fingers crossed. Enjoyed reading ‘behind the scenes’
I do believe that Mod Podge rocks! Pick me!
I only recently discovered some of the amazing things that can be done with Mod Podge and I am ADDICTED! It’s so much fun and very easy to use.
I love the sampler kits of Modge Podge. I don’t make big projects, so I like the small sizes and the variety to choose from and play with. :)
I would LOVE To try some modgie podgie!!!
I’ve never “mod podge’d” but now I’m so curious!!! I’m also so glad to hear of another creative soul whose home looks, well, creative (and whose clean clothes managed to still have pet hair on them – I have two white cats and their hair seems to cling to everything!) Crossing my fingers… (and doing some hunting for ideas here!) Thank you!
I loveeee Modge Podge!! I love what you do – especially love those painted acorns! and too, the framed keys has me thinking! Love your colors – keep it coming!
Oh my gosh how fun!!! I am in love with those acorns!!!! They make me smile! I never knew there were so many kinds of modpodge!!!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Ok, it has been awhile since I have used any mod podge, but now that I have been introduced to Amy’s blog, I am inspired.Guess I will be making yet another trip to the “craft store” for supplies.
I love how honest you are about your life. So refreshing. Yes, I would love some Mod Podge to play with because honestly, I never have tried it yet (and I consider myself crafty. Imagine that!)
i subscribe to “where women create” but, just stumbled on this this blog/contest site tonight. I so enjoyed seeing someone else makes messes, plays with artsy stuff all day & could happily transform most of ikea’s wares. thanks for sharing.
Totally Love Modge Podge Myself…use it all the time, and love your designs as well…
I am a Where Women Create Fan and actually named my shop “Where Cindy Jaeger Creates” with all of the inspiration given to “Where Women Create”..my little shop is in downtown Tomball, Texas and is a fun place to come and play!
I am a huge fan of mod podge and think that variety will be fun. I have been to the blog in the past but was looking for something and remembered it today…glad I did cause I would love to win this! Thanks
Who ended up to win the awesome assortment of Mod Podge? Would be lovely to know! :)
