Tiffany Windsor

 
 

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 1,500 1-hour episodes featuring over 15,000 craft demonstration segments.  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 300,000.  

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. 

In January 2001, Tiffany created InspiredatHome.com featuring a unique collection of inspired ideas for home and heart. Teaming with her sisters, Heidi Borchers and Candace Liccione, InspiredatHome.com focused on inspiring creative women who were beginning to awaken to the understanding that welcoming and expressing creativity into their lives brings about a sense of balance and well-being. The premier issue of the IAH ezine was released in September 2001.

In 2010, Tiffany launched Cool2Craft, an on-line website and YouTube channel that features over 1,000 videos with over 14.5 million views. A crafters paradise for cool crafting techniques and even a few videos of her “life at the ranch.”

For over 30 years, Tiffany has consulted with small businesses in the real estate industry but her love of creativity and helping women always brings her back to crafts. In 2021, Tiffany and her sisters, Candace and Heidi felt a pull back to Inspired at Home. With decades of content and inspiration, and women seeking to rebalance their lives, the sisters decided to re-group and re-birth Inspired at Home.
