If you need the link again, just let us know below and we’ll share it with you 🌿 Question for you 👇 What kind of self-care are you most craving right now?(Not a task — a feeling.) Drop a word or short phrase below 💛

Which means we get to talk about our favorite topic. At HobbyScool, we believe hobbies are more than pastimes — they’re powerful tools for creativity, clarity, and confidence. Some people use their hobbies to relax. Some to express themselves. Some to build businesses. All are valid. All matter. So I’m curious:What hobby has made the biggest impact on your life — creatively, emotionally, or even financially? Drop it in the comments 👇You might inspire someone else to finally start theirs.

A heartfelt thank you to each of you who tuned into my presentation today. I’m so grateful we were able to get the audio hiccup resolved, and I truly pray this summit experience met you right where you are in this season. My hope is that it served as a radiant, peace-filled beginning to your new year—grounded in prayer, clarity, and creative calm. On a personal note, I’m just now catching up myself after caring for our sick baby and doing my best to still celebrate my husband’s birthday today (yes—today! 🎉) as we all recover from what’s been going around. Life has a way of reminding us to hold plans gently, doesn’t it? And yet, there is still so much to be thankful for. I wanted to pop in here to say hello, connect further, and let you know I’d love to answer any questions you have—from prayer boards, journaling, or planning, to how to build a gentle system you’ll actually return to. 💝 A Gift for You: As shared in the presentation, I’ve created a >>free Prayer Board Vision Checklist<< to help you put what we talked about into action with clarity and confidence. It’s a simple, faith-filled companion to help you pray your vision, focus your plans, and begin creating right away. 👉 Be sure to grab the freebie linked in the presentation resources if you haven’t yet. 🌸 If you’re craving ongoing support: I’d also love to invite you to continue the journey inside the Radiant Pearl Circle, where we walk this out together with intentional planning rhythms, encouragement, and access to our Lion Of Judah Journaling Collection and updated Radiant Pearl Dream Life Digital Planner—created to help you plan with peace and preserve what God is doing in your life. Thank you again for being here and for showing up for this creative, faith-filled reset. I truly hope we get to connect more inside this community and beyond. Wishing each of you grace, healing, and a beautifully intentional year ahead. ❤️

Thanks to Kristin Tweedale @rukristin for these Currently cards and the great ideas for simple memory keeping in our journals! Here is my page using washi tape for the background. :)

I loved Amanda's session! It's been a long while since I have watched her YouTube videos (my fault), but as soon as I saw her, her light just brought me joy! She has such wonderful energy that flows through her creative work and her words! This is a fun way to make envelopes! I enjoyed the different ways shown to utilize the card inserts for these. I cannot wait to make these envelopes in different sizes for my journal as well! Thank you, Amanda! P.S. There was one full-page envelope on a page as you flipped through an art journal...I'm curious if that was a large version of this or another envelope technique you might have in one of your YouTube videos? Here is the start of mine. I have to finish my cards and get this attached in my journal. :)
