Create More Than Jewelry

Craft a necklace infused with your Soul Truth, your mantra, and the stories that matter most.

Discover the Story Within

Through gentle writing prompts and reflection, uncover words and images that will guide your design.

A Sacred Object to Hold Close

Walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece — a wearable reminder of your creativity, courage, and light.

About the course

The Keeper of My Story is a soulful online workshop where art-making meets story. Together, we’ll create a one-of-a-kind journal necklace — a wearable piece - a tiny art journal - that holds your Soul Truth, your chosen mantra, and the whispers of your unfolding journey. This isn’t just art journaling or jewelry-making. It’s a gentle process of writing, reflecting, and crafting — a way of honoring the story that lives within you and giving it a form you can hold close to your heart. Through guided lessons, a beautifully designed workbook, and a live Zoom gathering, you’ll be supported in weaving together beads, words, and meaning into a sacred object that is uniquely yours. You don’t need to be an artist or a writer to join. All that’s required is a curious spirit and the willingness to show up as you are. Together, we’ll create not only a necklace but also a memory — a moment in time when you chose to honor your story and let it shine.

Tammy is so generous with her knowledge, her resources and her contagious laugh. She’ll tell you where she got that one supply you can’t live without, or how she made those particular marks in her journal, or what’s inspiring her right now; and she does it all with such a light spirit that you can’t help but to enjoy yourself. I can’t wait for the next retreat!

Tammy Gilley is a wonderful teacher with a heart of gold, who's super generous with her artistic knowledge and materials. I enjoyed her Paris travel journal class very much, she is considerate of her students needs and has a delightful sense of humor.

I signed up for the Paris workshop fairly certain the journal would not be something that interested me, but I wanted to see Paris. BUT. You (Tammy) and the classes totally won me over and I LOVED everything about the workshop. Had a great time and you’ve won me over as a true fan.
