If you’re interested in working with me as a brand or as a fellow blogger, let’s talk!
Hi there! Call me Ali …
I’m a decorating, crafting, sewing, and DIY obsessed blogger living in Upstate New York. My background has taken me through tons and tons of directions – most importantly – girl-mamma x3. I created ASC share my life, journey, and projects that come along the way.
The story of American School of Charm …
I began ASC in 2019 to help women to go out and get the lives they want so that they don’t, like I did, wake up one day and realize that they aren’t who they want to be. Now, a couple years into it, I’m narrowing down my scope and really focusing on the parts of ASC that most people respond to and that’s decorating, crafts and DIY, and easy recipes.
You’ll also find updates on my insane life in my email updates (not in posts) per request by my subscribers. Apparently there isn’t enough reality TV on so they want to hear about my crazy ups and downs in life.
If you have any ideas to contribute, email me directly at [email protected] I love hearing from you and hope that you enjoy what you see here.
Let’s look at our growing community
