Good morning, CMK! 🧶❤️ We're on Day 18 of our 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge, and today I'm reporting something I know some of you have already had to report... I DIDN'T MAKE MY 100 YESTERDAY. And that's okay. I've done four days of craft shows this week, while still trying to keep everything else going, and I've been putting in 16+ hour days. Yesterday, there simply weren't enough hours left in me to get to 100. 😂 That's exactly why we built some flexibility into this challenge. We don't need 30 perfect days. For those of us who started on Day 1, we need 26 out of 30. So Friday will be one of my days under 100, and today I start again. 🔥 👇 NOW LET'S HEAR YOUR RESULTS! How did YOU do yesterday? 🔥 DAY 17 / Friday — _____ activities Whether you had 150, exactly 100, 73 or 10, share your number below. This challenge isn't about pretending every day went perfectly. It's about seeing what we can accomplish when we make a consistent effort to participate in our community. ❤️ TODAY'S GRATITUDE — WHO ENCOURAGED YOUR CREATIVITY? Since October is our month of Thankfulness & Gratitude, today I'd like to make this one a little more personal. Think about someone in your life who encouraged your crafting journey. Maybe they taught you to knit or crochet. Maybe they bought you your first supplies. Maybe they're the person who always admires what you make—even when YOU can see every mistake. 😂 Maybe they encouraged you to try something new, sell your creations, buy that knitting machine or simply keep creating. Who is that person for you? ❤️ FOR ME, IT WAS MY DAD. Yesterday marked 23 years since my Dad passed away, so I've been thinking about him a lot. My Dad always encouraged me to be creative, try new things and follow my passions. Looking at everything creativity has brought into my life, I can't help but be grateful that I had someone who encouraged that part of me instead of telling me to be more practical or stop dreaming so big. He's not here to see where that encouragement eventually led, but I'm very thankful he gave it. ❤️
