It's very cost-effective. https://www.amazon.com/iLable-Sticker-Inkjet-Printers-Sheets/dp/B07Q61L831/ref=sxin_19_sbv_search_btf

Hoping everyone is doing well these days?! I’m kinda out of touch with things with the busyness of getting ready for the coming days of Christmas and the New Years. Just wanting to wish everyone well and no matter what you celebrate hope you have fun and safe coming days ahead! We are just leaving to go have our Christmas with our three and their spouses at a near by Air B&B. Something we’ve never done before. There will be 8 of us and the 3 grand pups too! Ha! Boy! Has it been lots of work getting things ready and doing my yearly holiday baking etc! I’ll need my quiet time so will be checking in on things here then in the next 3 days. Home on Saturday. Whew! Merry Christmas to all that celebrate!

UPDATE: New process video and graphics added The theme will change monthly, but the spirit stays the same: gentle creativity, low pressure, and meaningful making. JANUARY'S THEME: Slow Beginnings. This month is about easing in—not starting over, not fixing anything, not racing toward goals. Just returning to your hands, your materials, and yourself at a pace that feels kind. There is no right way to participate. There is no expectation to finish anything. Showing up gently counts. As you move through January, let this question sit with you: What feels possible right now? You’ll find a few optional project ideas, colors, and invitations below. Take what fits. Leave the rest. JANUARY'S PROJECTS: Slow, Simple, Soft These are suggestions, not assignments. They’re meant to help you begin without pressure. Project Ideas - A scrap warm-up quilt block (no measuring, no rules) - A single junk journal page titled “What I’m Carrying In” - A small slow-stitched fabric square with one word or symbol - Sorting scraps and choosing just one to work with Optional Color Inspiration - Oatmeal - Soft gray - Winter white - Faded denim (Colors are here to inspire—not restrict. Use what you have.) JANUARY'S SELF-CARE SALAD: A simple, grounding reset you can make in minutes: - Spinach - Apple slices - Walnuts - Dried cranberries - Olive oil + fresh lemon + pinch of salt Think of this as nourishment, not a rule—just like our making WAYS TO PARTICIPATE THIS MONTH These small actions help keep the community warm and help you earn points—no pressure to do them all. Choose one or two: - 📸 Share a photo of your current creative space (mess welcome) - ✍️ Post a sentence or two about how you’re beginning this year creatively - 💬 Leave encouragement on at least 2 member posts - 🧵 Share one small thing you’re working on—or thinking about working on 🌿 Gentle Reminder Each month will bring a new theme, new inspiration, and new ways to engage—but always with the same cozy rhythm.
