Hello my dear journaling friend,

It's Maureen, with a little update for you.
How have the holidays been for you? I hope you were able to make the best of it, given all the restrictions that may - or maybe not - be in place where you live.

My time was spent with my closest family - my parents and my brother. We've enjoyed a simple dinner on Christmas day. Bought each other a few small presents. But the biggest part was having the time together, enjoying each others company. Isn't that what counts the most?

A new Letter from the Inspiration Faery

Since last November, when the first Letter came to your inbox, I've been sitting at my craft table a few more times. It was such a pleasure - I'm making shabby chic inspired journals & ephemera. On quite a lot of those occasions I had a visit from the Inspiration Faery. Let me give you a sneak peek of what we talked about...

What are you creating?
"As I sit at my crafting table, I hear the quiet flutter of little wings. I look up, to see where the sound comes from. My face lights up as I see who has come to my craft room: the Inspiration Faery. She landed on the corner of my desk, to nestle herself comfortably against the small bowl where I keep my fabric & lace scraps.
"Hello," I say to her.
She smiles back at me.
"What a lovely place you have created for yourself."
I hear her voice in my head. It is soft, with a ring of little tingling bells.
My heart opens with joy. I tell her how much it means to me that she visits me. That she talks to me."

The conversation goes on, you'll have to read for yourself :-)

Overwhelm and how to deal with that

One of the other topics we talked about is this one: overwhelm. Do you experience that in your craft room? Maybe the advice from the Faery will help you, as it has helped me.

There is of course more than just these 2 pages...

"My name is..."

At the very end of the Letter the Faery even reveals her name to me! How beautiful is that? I so hope you will join me in the conversation. If you do, let me know? You can reply to this e-mail. Or you can DM me on Instagram. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this all.

Inspiration Papers - combo bundle

If you like to have some more inspiration, there is a combo bundle with the Inspiration Letter. You get a gorgeous set of 4 papers at just $1 extra. The papers can be bought as a separate bundle too, just click here.

Okay, I think that is enough for now 😊 I will leave you, with a last photo of a small craft project that is on my desk at the moment. A paper flower, distressed with 'tattered rose'. Of course with some soft, fluffy yarn just peeking out from behind. Isn't she cute?

Love, 😘 Maureen
