I wanted to post something worthwhile today but I've been busy in other communities. At first I thought "I really ought to just focus on the creative cottage" but then I though about it and considered that engaging with other people I've met here and adding value to their space is just as worthwhile as being here. My encouragement to you... Life can't always be abut feathering our own nests > lets go and encourage someone who needs it today. What could you do to encourage someone on their journey today? It doesn't need to be here in Skool - anywhere is ok!

I have chosen these 2 options. If you would like to take inside please comment.

Just a quick question? How did you find out about the creative cottage > can you even remember?

Do we have any Other You-tubers in the room? How are you going with your YT creating? This month has been extra full for me and finding extra time to edit my YT video's has been almost impossible. Editing is just so time consuming. I finally managed to edit one and upload > you'll get to see a little of this months activities, done better than perfect! If you're not a YT Creator - have you ever tried to make a video? There's a simple video editing tool that is so fun & easy to use, maybe try just for fun. You could make a little clip to share with family or friends.I love the creative process! I'll share the link below if you'd like to have a go! You can use it best on your phone so it makes for easy access to all you clips and pics. https://inshot.com/
