If you’ve been feeling blocked, uninspired, or like creativity has packed a bag and left the building… this one is for you. 🥰 Set a timer for just 5 minutes and make anything. No pressure. No masterpiece. No overthinking. You could: 🌿 Scribble shapes 🌿 Blend one colour into another 🌿 Write a tiny poem 🌿 Rearrange objects into a photo 🌿 Doodle with your non-dominant hand 🌿 Collage scraps 🌿 Make a glorious mess When the timer ends, you can stop. Or carry on if the spark has returned. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need discipline… it needs an easy doorway back in. The pics below are my current sketchbook I cut a paint supply catalog in half and I am painting backgrounds or using the images as part of my creation. The fact that is it doesn’t matter how messy it is makes is unique in itself, but I love journaling and sketching like this it’s so freeing 🙌🏻 Share what you made below if you’d like messy beginnings very welcome here 🤍

What’s something small you do that brings you back to yourself? 🧐 I don’t even know if I fully know my answer yet… but I think mine sits somewhere between curiosity and that little pull to test myself and see what I can do. I’d love to know yours 🤍 What makes you feel most like you? A little moment, a small ritual… a smidgen of calm to come back to ✨

We’ve landed somewhere very special for this week’s Around the World in 80 Sketches… 📍 Reykjavik, Iceland ❄️ And I’m extra excited about this one because I’ve actually been there! It was one of those experiences that stays with you forever… even if it was -14°C 🥶🥶🥶 (yes, really!). The air, the colours, the quiet… it’s such a unique, almost magical place. I’ve popped a little map link here so you can wander and explore. https://maps.app.goo.gl/bpainBi6yZbHPqL79 If you’re new here, Around the World in 80 Sketches is our way of travelling creatively together. Each week we “visit” a new place somewhere in the world and use it as inspiration whether that’s architecture, colours, textures, people, or just the feeling of the place. There’s no right or wrong, just your interpretation. You can draw, paint, write a poem anything creative goes ! ❤️ So go have a little explore, take it in slowly, there’s so much to explore let curiosity lead the way 🙌🏻🤍 I can’t wait to see where this one takes you… ✨ Here’s a few snaps from my time there 👌🏻💜

Louder Together. There’s a quiet hum that lives in us, soft at first like fingertips brushing paper, like colour waiting to be seen. We are the ones who feel deeply, who gather moments like treasures, who turn the ordinary into something that breathes. And sometimes it feels small, doesn’t it? A single voice, a single sketch, a single idea whispered into the world. But then we find each other. In shared glances and gentle words, in messy desks and half-finished dreams, in the knowing that says, you feel it too. And suddenly, the quiet hum becomes a chorus. Layered voices, rising not to compete, but to carry. Your voice holds mine, mine lifts yours, and together we become something warm, unapologetic, alive. Because the louder we are not in noise, but in truth, in colour, in courage. And the more we are heard, the more we remember… we were never meant to create alone. 💛

I’ve come home to stay with the kids for the weekend because it’s my birthday on Sunday 🎂 and I plan to soak up every lovely little moment of it. ❤️🥳🎉 There will be cake, chaos, probably questionable amounts of snacks… and hopefully a bit of sunshine too ☀️ Tell me what you’re all up to this weekend and for extra fun, use the new GIF’s in Skool to show me instead of telling me 👀✨ Let’s see your weekend plans in GIF form only if you dare 😆 🥰
