A Season of Gentle Intentions
I invite you to join us in this unique course meant to gently inspire you to slow down and to get in touch with your intentions during the highs and lows of December and January. We'll focus on creative journaling and using worksheets to help us work through the weekly prompts. As an inspirational course, you'll receive Printables (think: clip art), downloadable worksheets, the occasional crafty but economical tutorial as well as beautiful photos with creative inspiration. We'll also have a guest post and we'll touch on stamp carving and using a glass pen for calligraphy! Each week, a new module will be released.
You'll love the downloadable art and my sweet and easy tutorial on how to create these gift tags with the Printable provided for you in the course!

In this course, you can choose your own adventure:

The important part of this course is working through your gentle intentions and prompts for yourself in Dec and January. And you can do that in whatever way works for you!
Everything else is just extra.
And don't forget - you'll have long term access to the course - so you can enjoy it at your own pace.
Common Questions
1. What topics will you touch on in the creative tutorials?
I will offer a variety of short tutorials (not full length classes) - from how to use a Printable and create gift tags with it to a brief introduction to stamp carving! I'll introduce you to creating homemade gift wrap, using a glass dip pen for calligraphy, creative journaling and more. Please do not feel that you have to participate with every creative idea. This is to be a NO PRESSURE course.
Time permitting, we'll also create a simple star garland. Since I'll be gentle on myself during this time as well, some tutorials are preplanned and others will be whatever I'm inspired to create to share with you.
2. Why is the course price so cheap?
It is really important to me to make this course as affordable as possible during the Holiday Season. Creating it as an inspirational course with some tutorials (not full length projects) will help to keep the cost down. I'll also give you a discount on digital items in my Etsy shop and sale offers for other A Glimpse of Joy products at a random time - sales from this will help to offset the cost of creating the course. However, please do not feel obligated to purchase anything more.
And of course, I hope that you'll share news about this course with others! If you do, and they sign up then I'll give you a discount for an upcoming online A Glimpse of Joy course - of your choice - in 2023!
