Creative Besties, I have a question… What art supply are you saving for “something special”? 👀😂 You know the one. That gorgeous paper you don’t want to cut. The stickers that are too pretty to use. The fancy paint you’ve been saving. The beautiful journal you’re scared to mess up. That little something sitting in your stash waiting for the perfect project. Well, Creative Bestie… YOU are the special occasion. 💜 So for today’s Self-Care Sunday Creative Invitation, I want you to go into your creative stash and choose ONE GOOD THING you’ve been saving. And then… USE IT. 😂 Cut the paper. Peel the sticker. Open the paint. Make the first mark in the journal. You don’t even have to make a finished piece today. Spend 10 or 15 minutes enjoying the thing you bought because it brought you joy in the first place. Because sometimes self-care isn’t adding something else to your to-do list. Sometimes it’s simply allowing yourself to enjoy what you’ve been saving. And ain’t no Creative Police coming to tell you that you used the good paper wrong. 😂🎨 👇🏾 Tell me in the comments: What’s one “good” creative supply you’ve been saving? Bonus points if you actually use it today and come back to show us what you did with it. 👀💜 Happy Self-Care Sunday, Creative Besties. — Meka Now go use the good stuff. ✨

Can I ask you something? Do you ever feel like you're trying to force a creative routine that just doesn't fit how YOU actually create? Like you're following someone else's process and wondering why it feels so hard? Here's what I've learned — not everyone creates the same way. Your creativity has a personality. And when you understand it, everything gets easier. That's why I created the Creative Archetype Quiz 🎨 It's a free 5-minute quiz that helps you discover your unique creative style — your strengths, your challenges, and exactly how to channel your energy into consistent, joyful creative expression. There are 4 archetypes: 🟠 The Connector — You create for connection and shared experience 💜 The Seeker — You create through curiosity and exploration 🌕 The Creator — You create to bring bold ideas to life 🔥 The Fearless Phoenix — You create through transformation and emotional depth Which one sounds like you? 👀 👉 Take the free quiz here and find out Once you get your result, come back and drop your archetype below! 👇🏽 I want to see which archetypes are showing up most in our community — and it's such a beautiful way for us to get to know each other on a deeper level. 💖 — Meka

Baaaby, it’s here! 😂💜 TODAY my workshop is being featured at the Art of Handmade Summit! And I’m teaching: ✨ The First Page: How to Start Art Journaling When You’re Afraid to Mess It Up Creative Besties, this workshop is SO much of what we talk about right here in our community. The blank page. The overthinking. The “What if I mess it up?” The belief that you need to know what you’re doing before you’re allowed to begin. Nope. 😂 Today I’m helping people get past all of that and actually MAKE THE FIRST PAGE. So I would absolutely LOVE for my Start Creating Again family to come over and create with me. 💜 And if you haven’t registered for the summit yet, you can still join! 🎨 Art of Handmade Summit ✨ My workshop is available TODAY — Day 3 💻 Virtual 🎟️ FREE to attend 👉🏾 JOIN THE SUMMIT + WATCH MY WORKSHOP⁠ If you’re watching today, come back here afterward and SHOW ME YOUR FIRST PAGE! 👀🎨 I want to see what you created! Ain’t no Creative Police. Just make the page. 😂💜 — Meka
