10 Creative Ways to Decompress After Christmas
(A little inspiration for the quiet week ahead.)
- Create a “Cozy Craft Corner.”
Tidy one tiny area—10 minutes max—and turn it into your happy spot for the week. - Do a “Leftovers & Layouts” Afternoon.
Use wrapping scraps or leftover Christmas cardstock for mini pages or tags. - Sip Something Slowly.
Tea, cocoa, fancy coffee . . . whatever your cup of cheer is. Sip it s l o w l y, like you’re trying to stretch December to 45 days. - Have a 10-Minute “Craft & Exhale.”
Set a timer, grab a scrap pile, make one tiny project, and call it good. It’s not about perfection; it’s about permission. - Practice the “Post-Holiday Slowdown.”
For one day, move at half-speed and enjoy the ease of it. - Have a “Treat Yourself Tidying.”
Clean your scissors, sharpen pencils, reorganize ribbon—something tiny that future-you will love. - Start a “Memory Jar” for 2026.
Decorate a jar and add your first memory slip for 2026. Add more all year long. - Make a “10-Minute Vision Board.”
Clip, glue, scribble—focus on how you want to feel in the new year. - Try a “Digital Detox Daylight Hour.”
One hour, phone-free. Fill it with rest or creativity. (This maybe a challenge for some) - Set a “First Craft of the New Year” Date.
Choose a day (Jan. 1–3) for 30 minutes of pure creative fun—no rules. WHO WANTS TO JOIN ME???
Did you receive a hard copy of your new Mini Catalogue for Jan- April??
Let me know, I will get you one!
If you are good at viewing online you will have to wait until January 3 – it will be able to be viewed at that time.
This one has very pretty things between the front and back covers… can’t wait for you to see wha is inside. I will share what I can over the next little while. 💌
In the mean time I want to extend to you a Beautiful and Joyous Christmas Time. A New Year full of Crafting of course, Health, Peace and please surround yourself with happiness.
