Today was a holiday here in Western Australia. We spent a lot of the day cleaning up after a wild storm and then spent the afternoon by the fire burning off all the branches that fell. Ate food with the family and had a beautiful relaxing Monday! CREATIVE MOMENTS I also taught one of my daughters to crochet 🧶 ✨and started a few little recycle projects! How did your week start?

I was going to wait until we got to 100 and do a journal giveaway, but then someone said, "why not do 70 and 100". We are going to have 3 giveaways! 1. Let's try to get the Creative Cottage to 70 members! 2. Invite someone in and go into a special draw 3. 100-member giveaway I thought - why not give 2 journals away - and the 3rd one will be another draw for those who invite people to the cottage! Just because it's better to give than receive! I love it! If you know anyone who would fit the cottage, please invite them via the INVITE link, and if they join, you will automatically go in the "second" giveaway draw! I think that makes sense. This is fun!

Hey guys it's not too late for new any new comers or peeps that haven't got in the game for the giveaway! follow the giveaway instructions here AND @Tori Davey 'S WORKSHOP IS HAPPENING - 8 pm Perth time go here to get it in on the action - Check Tori's calender for the link.
