It was a great planning party! I did a wonderful creative year-end review in December, based on an outline by Amy Cowen at Illustrated Life substack, and I had some great epiphanies for creative goals this year at the planning session!

This is brilliant Helen! I loved drawing my goals at the planning party :) aiming to make more work that makes me happy and to get it in front of the eyeballs of lovely publishing peoples :) and hug my kids a lot!

Get the right eye balls on yer art, get yer legs under the right tables, get feet in the doors, way to go! Your work makes me VERY happy. Can I have a hug of your kids, my big girl let’s me hug her but rarely hugs me back these days 😭

Ah thank you Helen that makes me very happy to hear! :) I’m sure they would love to fill up the cuddle cup... my littlest gives a very good head hug 🤗

I came along to the planning party which was great fun. My goals this year are to spend more time with my kids and grandkids. I always come away with a happy heart, and a blaze of ideas running through my head.
