As we step into a brand-new year, I find myself grateful— not in a loud, confetti way, but in the soft, steady way that comes from knowing I’m not creating alone. You— with your scraps and stitches, your paper piles and half-finished dreams, your brave beginnings and tender tries— you are the gift I didn’t know I was building toward. I promise to keep this space warm. A place that feels like home, where the door is always open, and nothing has to be perfect to belong. I promise to tend it gently— to make room for rest, for encouragement, for sharing what we have instead of measuring what we lack. Here, generosity matters, so does patience, so does laughter when things don’t go as planned. May this be a refuge from the noise and the rush, a place to lay down the weight of everyday living and pick up thread, paper, color, and hope. As we enter this new year together, may we create freely, cheer each other on generously, and remember—again and again— that making side by side is one of the coziest things we can do. I’m so thankful you’re here. Let’s build something beautiful—together.

OUR GOAL IS TO BE IN THE TOP 100 COMMUNITIES DAILY RANKING UPDATE: January 1st Ranking is 140. January is our Power Month, and I’m inviting everyone to help us give the Cozy Makers Club a little extra love and energy this month. Here’s the exciting part: We started around #900 in the Skool rankings. We’re now hovering around #150. With a real January PUSH, we can break into the Top 100 Skool communities in our category - Hobbies. That’s huge—and it’s something we can do together. 💥 How You Can Help (Small actions = BIG impact) Every bit of activity counts toward boosting our visibility and rankings. - 👍 Like posts AND comments (yes, liking comments counts!) - 💬 Leave a short comment—even a “love this” helps - 🧵 Share what you’re making, planning, or thinking about - 👀 Pop in often, even for a quick scroll - 📣 Invite friends and win bonuses in January's Invite & Giveaway (Details in Pinned Post) - 🎁 Participate in prompts, bingo, and cozy challenges Why This Matters? More activity means: - Higher Skool ranking - More visibility for our cozy corner - New makers finding their way here - More inspiration, connection, and momentum for all of us This isn’t about pressure—it’s about cozy consistency and community care. If we all show up just a little more in January, we can do something really special together. Let’s make January our warmest, most active month yet. Let’s break into the Top 100. Let’s power up the Cozy Makers Club. Thanks for being here—and for making this space what it is 💛

FREE memberships through January 2026. I’ve started a second community called The Bible Still Works. This space is not about religious doctrine, labels, or ideologies. It’s about discovering how the priceless wisdom found in scriptural principles can still help us live better, more meaningful lives today. It's about becoming familiar with the people, places, and things the Bible discusses. It's about discovering what the Bible truly says, rather than just relying on what we've heard. If you sense that Divine wisdom still has relevance in a modern world—and you want a calm, practical space to explore that—walk with me and let’s explore together how the Bible still works. https://www.skool.com/the-bible-still-works-4317/about
