This weekend, let's make some time to do something creative that is just for our own enjoyment... Sometimes our creativity takes on a mission because we have an Etsy shop, a market stall, or a community we need to produce for. But what about creating just for enjoyment's sake? When was the last time you fully settled into a creative space just for you—simply because you love it? This weekend, who's in on the challenge to put themselves first and do something that fuels their creative fire? It might be taking yourself on a creative date like visiting an art exhibition, picking up some crochet or knitting, working on a paper craft, getting out those water colours that are collecting dust or finally finishing that journal you've been dreaming about! What could you do this weekend for the creative you? THE CHALLENGE: 1. Commit: Post a comment below about what you plan to do. 2. Capture: Come back and post a photo right here of you in action. 3. Share: Make a separate post about what you did and how it felt, along with a photo. 🌟 Do all 3 and one winner (chosen by random selection) will get a special little gift via SNAIL MAIL! 💌 Tagging the makers below! Apologies for the big tag. I'd just like to see who is still around > comment if you see this and no pressure if you can't join the challenge. @Brickell Sands @Brynn A @Aimee Beth @Abheeti Kathryn Pass @Alyssa Furukawa @Georgi Allan @Andréanne Brault @Casey Balkcom @Debra Verrall @Deanna Krueger @Eliza Eliza @Ellie Hill @Janelle Embree @Fred Tyre @Caroline Fransz @Tiffany Hall @Hilary L @Roslyn Hill @Kate Bullock @Kathy Roberts @Katy Thorne @Jenna Kelly @Leatta Leake @Luniver Lago @Lynn Shields @Hilary L @Judy Lange @Mama Torres @Marie L Crawford @Melinda Timmerding @Michelle Bradford

I’m away at a beachside destination 7 hours from where I live but I always bring with me what I call my little craft office in a box! It’s the green be pictured below! However this weekend I’ve discovered something on Skool that has sparked a little 🔥 for me! I’ve dabbled in sticker making but have always wanted to explore it more so when I heard Sara from STICKY BUSINESS this talking on @Des Dreckett’s live I got excited. I’ve already planned a sticker for our holiday group we come every year and have called ourself the naughty corner there’s more 30 of us here this year! Needless to say - not a lot of rest happening 😅 but I still sneak away to do a little creating! Today it’s stickers! If you want to join me jump over - it’s free and I have already learned some new tricks! https://www.skool.com/sticky-business-2645/about?ref=9d51d0173158417fa21c5f2b2e8d2c72
