Before we turn the page, we’d love to know: What’s one thing you’re choosing to carry forward into the new year? A habit, learning a new skill, developing current skills, a boundary, a goal, or even a feeling~ all are welcome here. This space is about growth, support, and showing up together 💚 Share if you feel called ✨👇

However you celebrate (or if you’re just enjoying a quieter season), we wanted to take a moment to say how grateful we are for this community. Being here together~ sharing ideas, learning, building, and supporting one another~ really means a lot. This time of year can be joyful, complicated, busy, or tender… sometimes all at once. Wherever you’re at, we hope you’re able to find a little rest, warmth, and space to breathe. Thank you for being part of ACI and for showing up with so much curiosity, generosity, and creativity. We’re really excited for what we’ll be building together in the year ahead. ✨ 🎁 Wishing you peace, rest, and small moments of joy this holiday season.

Some of us are wrapping up the year and tying loose ends. Some are already dreaming ahead and sketching what’s next. Some are resting~ and that matters just as much~! However, this season finds you, there’s no “right” way to be here. You’re welcome exactly as you are, and we’re really glad you’re part of this community. If you feel like sharing: Where is your creative energy sitting right now~ rest, reflection, gentle making, or quiet planning?

Im meeting up with a friend next week and painted these for her. I have never really thought of my myself as someone who can draw, but I'm really happy with how these turned out!
