5 things for the weekend 22.30
let's do this, book club news, free printable, start holiday planning
Welcome back creatives! I am feeling very rested, and also super motivated for the rest of 2022. I’m already starting to think about Christmas, it’s my favourite holiday after all! I’m happily pottering around my house, and getting back into a normal routine now that school has started again.
I hope that you were also able to rest and recharge over the last few weeks. We had an amazing trip to Spain, and it was so good for my family to take a complete break from regular life. My creative juices are flowing thanks to all the amazing sights and people we saw and interacted with. I think it’s so important to have your creativity be informed by art that’s out of your usual area.
So now, onward!
