I've been on Temu again (dangerous, I know), and I'd honestly forgotten half of what I ordered, so I opened it all up on camera for you. 😆 Inside there are dreamy wintery vellum papers ❄️, enchanted forest paper tapes 🍄, a few too many rolls of washi tape, little boxes to finally tidy up my cut-out printables 📦, and some metallic watercolors I can't wait to try ✨ Fair warning: never click "add more to your basket" after checkout. 😅 If you'd like the details on anything, just ask. I'll probably do a little demo once I've played with them. 💬 What's something you've bought just because it was too pretty to resist?

𝗔 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 ✨ 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲. Not this morning. A morning you'd like. 😍 The mug on a quiet table, the window with nothing to rush off to, the dog at the end of the bed, the sea if that's what you're after. This week we're back to the life you want, which is where all this started 💛 ✨ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁? Put yourself in it somewhere, even if you're just a shape in a chair. 👉 Also in the classroom here: ❤️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👇 The whole page, a tiny piece of it, or just type "done" if you're not ready to show it ❤️ ❤️ All count. Whenever you get to it, morning, teatime or midnight.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 ✨ 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱. Whichever hand you never use. Anything will do, the teapot, the cat, your own foot. It will come out wobbly and a bit mad, and that is entirely the point. Nobody is good with their wrong hand, so there's nothing to be bad at today 💛 ✨ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁? Do it again with your eyes closed as well, then compare the two. 👉 Also in the classroom here: ❤️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👇 The whole page, a tiny piece of it, or just type "done" if you're not ready to show it ❤️ ❤️ All count. Whenever you get to it, morning, teatime or midnight.

The challenge is done, but it isn't the last page 💛 So from today the group settles into its everyday rhythm, and it has a name. 🔥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗘 One post here every morning with a small idea in it, and you share in that same thread whenever you get to it. No streak, nobody counting, and you never have to use the prompt. It's just somewhere for the habit to live. 👉 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 🔥 The kettle, 🔥 your glasses, 🔥 your phone, 🔥 the tap, 🔥 the dog's lead. Whatever your hand landed on first, before you'd really woken up. Five minutes is plenty. Start where you are, a notebook and a biro is absolutely fine. ✨ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁? Draw it a second time without looking at your page at all. Eyes on the object the whole way. It'll come out wonky and that's the good bit. 👉 Also in the classroom here: ❤️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👇 The whole page, a tiny piece of it, or just type "done" if you're not ready to show it ❤️ ❤️ All count. Whenever you get to it, morning, teatime or midnight. Looking forward to seeing what you create ❤️ -------------------------- @Tori Reid @Debbie Davies @Lisa Williams @Kimberly Puddester @Debbie Channing @Vickie Ransbury @Mary Ellison @Sammy Harris @Lisa Jackson @Rebecca Schraeder @Janice Coppola @Valerie Simoen @Nikki Farquhar @Jana Vojtkova @Joanna Halicka @Noelle Puffett

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 ✨ 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼. A kitchen, a garden, a bit of a beach, your nan's front room, the shop on the corner where you grew up. Don't look anything up. Memory leaves out all the hard bits and keeps what mattered, which is why drawing from it is so much kinder than drawing from a photo. ✨ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁? Write one line next to it about what you could hear or smell there. 👉 Also in the classroom here: ❤️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👇 The whole page, a tiny piece of it, or just type "done" if you're not ready to show it ❤️ ❤️ All count.
