YouTube - I failed this month
Do we have any Other You-tubers in the room? How are you going with your YT creating? This month has been extra full for me and finding extra time to edit my YT video's has been almost impossible. Editing is just so time consuming. I finally managed to edit one and upload > you'll get to see a little of this months activities, done better than perfect! If you're not a YT Creator - have you ever tried to make a video? There's a simple video editing tool that is so fun & easy to use, maybe try just for fun. You could make a little clip to share with family or friends.I love the creative process! I'll share the link below if you'd like to have a go! You can use it best on your phone so it makes for easy access to all you clips and pics. https://inshot.com/

I opened my YouTube channel last week and posted my first video +realised quite quickly the sound wasn't great and I'd missed a few things). It was so time consuming! Like you said the editing takes up so much time 😱 I might be retired before I get the hang of it and it actually becomes worth while 😂

@Stephanie Kara absolutely!
The cottage challenge - time for me!
So today, I curled up with my book and read. Nothing else, just me, my book, and a little pocket of time where everything else could melt away. The noise faded, the demands disappeared, and I travelled to times and places that don’t exist, yet feel vivid and enthralling. Worlds that captivate your imagination so completely you forget, for a moment, that real life is waiting in the wings. But the real world was still there, and far sooner than I wanted, I had to close the book and step back into the day, into reality, carrying with me that little bit of magic even as the world rushed back in.

We need moments like that more than ever. There's nothing better than curling up with a good book!
Hey there - I'm asking you for input
What feels ok, and what doesn't? 🍂 I want to check in with you all because I want The Creative Cottage to be a completely non-pressured space. Creativity isn't about the hustle—in fact, hustle will just suffocate it. I want you to know that I am absolutely not about that hustle mentality. While I'd love to see this community grow, (and yes, of course I need to generate income) but that isn't my primary goal right now. Your presence, your slow progression, (or fast, if you should so choose) and connections we're building are what is more important to me. I think there's something special about the community we are creating here, and I want to protect that. I deeply value your honesty and your engagement, so I’d love for you to tell me exactly what will work best for you. My biggest priority is making sure this never becomes a place of overwhelm. Could you let me know in the comments: - What do you most want to get out of this space? - How many posts each week feels okay for you? - What is something that makes you feel overwhelmed in other Skool communities (so we can be sure to avoid it)? Take your time, and thank you for being here!

Paper Crafts: thanks Lydia for the reminder
Have you ever eco dyed paper? Here's a journal I made with some eco dyed papers. In particular the first picture shows what can be achieved with leaves from your garden! Check out this post @Lydia Cox shared showing how easy it is! https://www.skool.com/write-make-create-6156/pretty-paper-crafts?p=4043524e
