🤲 What I’m creating this week
Hey! I’m Mel, founder here at Joyful Creators Club.
Apart from a small bit of coding for one of my advocacy projects (Record Resistance, if you’re curious), I’ve been taking a much-needed break from life and work to refill my cup.
I’ve really been enjoying spending time with family and friends and catching up on reading. (Tragically, for the first time in my life, I haven’t finished a single book this year — yet. I’m currently flying through the fifth book in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series. I’ve been a fan from the start and even have a signed copy of the first book!)
What’d you think of our first week of creativity prompts? I hope you’re enjoying reading them as much as I enjoy creating them!
If you like our prompts, I’d be super grateful if you’d spread the word with your friends, fam, whoever you think might benefit.
Until next weekend — stay crafty!
Mel
