Welcome to your very own little world of creative joy & playfulness ...
A place where you can come & hide when the world is a bit too much—a sandbox where you get to hang out, relax and take some time to tap back into that creative well that's inside of you.
It’s a space where that inner child we all feel the need to keep locked away while navigating the “adult” world can come out of hiding and give you a much-needed creative lift.
That fun little spirit will help you shift your vibe from stress—and perhaps a bit of overwhelm—to a more creative, playful one. Your creative battery will get the chance to recharge, so you can move back into a state of ease and flow.
And when you DO return to living and working in the adult world, you’ll have soooo much more of that beautiful creative flow to fuel your day!
Listed below are the links to the items you'll need to purchase to begin the course:

Optional: Get 2 of these blocks if you really want to commit—one painting can be drying on the first paper block while you're painting on the second. Keeps you more in the flow!

Faber Castell collapsible water cup: https://amzn.to/4fkHn4s
(It's collapsible so is great for taking it with you somewhere, but you can also use a coffee mug or jar)
This one is optional but great to have if you want to splurge a bit more. (Last I checked, if you sign up for their email list you get a pretty decent discount on your first purchase):

You made it! I am so proud of you for committing to the process and actually doing it.
Don't worry about what it looks like. This isn't about making something "pretty"—it's about showing up and letting your creative energy shine through your work. That's where the real juice is.
So now it's time to either go back to your workday OR jump back into that creative sandbox again. I do warn you though that this process can be quite addictive, so be sure to find a happy medium between the two.
But hey, either way it still beats scrolling ad nauseam on your phone ;-)
Happy painting—and here's to transforming your biz from a state of joy & creative flow!
