Tiffany Windsor - Crafter, Artist, Television Host & Producer, Radio Host & Producer, Magazine Editor, Retailer, Inspirer, Visionary, Entrepreneur – no matter what hat Tiffany Windsor wears, you can bet she does it with a passion!

Born into an artistic, entrepreneurial family, it is no surprise that Tiffany has found success expressing her talents in many different arenas.  As the daughter of Aleene Jackson, America’s beloved “Mother of Crafting” and inventor of Aleene’s Tacky Glue, Tiffany’s first love is expressing herself creatively. As a child, Tiffany expressed her crafty talents utilizing all of the supplies available at her mother’s store.  Whether it was simply gluing popsicle sticks together, bejeweling cigar boxes or designing elaborate chenille stem treasures, crafting has been an everyday part of her life. 

Her first memories of the television world were accompanying her mother who made appearances on the popular 1960’s shows such as Art Linkletter, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Gypsy Rose Lee and the Dinah Shore Show.  Her first on-air experience was at the age of 13 when she appeared on her mother’s Los Angeles PBS show demonstrating rugmaking.  When Aleene started her own Creative Living show in 1986, Tiffany stepped into her new world of television hosting.  She wondered however if hosting was the right decision when she showed up for her first day of taping to find out that the first segment was a demonstration on “scherenschnitte” which when mispronounced, with a nervous tongue, could quickly turn into a grand embarrassment.  But Tiffany persevered and honed her hosting skills.

In 1993, Tiffany stepped in as producer and host of Aleene’s Creative Living and under her leadership, the show flourished and quickly rose to the top as TNN’s top-rated daytime show reflected in ratings counts of between 300,000 and 500,000 daily viewers.  As producer, Tiffany oversaw the production and hosted over 2,000 1-hour episodes.  Concurrently, Tiffany served as the editor for the show’s companion magazine.  With her creative guidance, the publication grew from an 8-page newsletter format to a 72-page full-color monthly magazine with newsstand and subscription circulation in excess of 200,000.  

In April 1998, Tiffany opened her first retail store, Tiffany’s Angels located in the charming Danish town of Solvang, California.  Inspired by the angels she started painting in 1994, Tiffany’s inner-calling to love and support other individuals who are discovering their inner-self could be found at Tiffany’s Angels. Through her website, fans connected with Tiffany’s vision by reading her monthly newsletter, inspiring stories and shopped for unique gift items.

These ventures nourished Tiffany’s passion and unique ability to touch people and through her television appearances as host of Aleene’s Creative Living, viewers found a sense of self-esteem through their creative expression. Tiffany spearheaded the “Changing Lives Through Creativity” campaign after reading hundreds of fan letters.  She recognized the number of viewer’s lives that were being changed through watching the show who opened their hearts and poured out their love through those letters.  As host of Aleene's Creative Living for 8 years, Tiffany found that many women seeking to express themselves through crafting were also seeking to grow spiritually. When Tiffany sent out a challenge to her viewing audience in exchange for one of her angel posters, hundreds of response letters poured in from viewers who felt alive and inspired, many for the first times in their lives. Another audience challenge was to raise $25,000 for children's charities.  In exchange for a $25 donation to their favorite children's charity, Creative Living viewers and readers were sent an original hand-stamped block angel print created by Tiffany exclusively for this fundraising activity. 

Bringing new dimension to her television experience, Tiffany wrote and hosted her first prime-time special, The Magic of Christmas which aired on TNN in late November 1998 and re-aired in early December 1998.  This one-hour program featured exquisite holiday decorations, interviews with Crystal Gayle and Suzy Bogguss and cooking and last-minute crafting ideas for the holidays.  Also included were over 25 interview clips with top country stars including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Steve Wariner, Brooks & Dunn and Vince Gill who expressed what the Magic of Christmas represented for them.  At that time, Tiffany also taped a pilot for a new lifestyles show which featured home decorating and repairs, cooking, gardening and self-improvement segments.

In July 2000, Tiffany launched an on-line women’s magazine whose vision it was to inspire change, promote personal growth, nurture self-esteem, encourage self-motivation, cultivate self-improvement, celebrate creative expression and enrich the lifestyles of women worldwide.  Weekly newsletters update subscribers with daily affirmations and monthly content offers readers new life perspectives.
