Women Create Weekly Club: Behind the Scenes

What I love about the Club is that we can come together, just how we are. Started at the end of October 2018, we’ve reached 2 years of the club now. And I’ve learned and grown so much.

What started as a desire to just do more creative things has turned into a growing community of women, and I’m instructing monthly watercolor projects every week! Me! It’s so awesome. I am grateful for the women I’ve met, and the difference we’ve made on each others’ lives.

What’s different about the Club:

  1. Creativity is not a one-time thing. Sure those paint and palette nights are super fun, and have a great energy to them. But a painting night once every 3 years is not going to feed your soul on an on-going basis.
  2. It’s not just passive. How often do you watch something on youtube or pin something on pinterest. Did you actually DO those projects? Or just store it away in your mind for later? The Club is about DOING and TRYING… which means FUN instead of guilt. It’s pretty sweet.
  3. Choose your own Adventure. You can be as involved or as quiet as you’d like. A lot of club members love to come to LIVE zoom classes every week and see all the steps to be able to ask for realtime feedback from me. Often we troubleshoot on the spot and give specific actions to solve that problem. Other busy moms prefer to watch the weekly replays at their convenience, and paint after kids have gone to bed. Especially busy month? Binge watch the entire project in a weekend, or just skip it and save it to watch later. It’s a great mix of options for both the extrovert and introvert, the busy and the bored.
  4. No experience necessary. You don’t have to have to know color theory, composition, principles of design. Just sign up and get supply lists (or use what you have!). We learn techniques and design principles as we do the projects.
  5. Cheaper than therapy. It’s amazing how one afternoon of putting paint to paper with other like-minded women lifts your mood. Chores feel easier, responding to family demands isn’t as taxing… life is a little better.

Be creative. In any way.

It doesn’t matter to me WHAT you do, but I urge you not to wait to make time to feed your soul creatively. A nicely organized drawer, the most delicious honey bread, a refinished thrift dresser find… so many options.

If watercolor is your jam, come check us out. I put it off for years because I wasn’t good enough at it. Psh! The whole point is to have fun and add a little goodness to the world. Not to impress each other. And I can’t believe how fast I’ve improved as I’ve set time aside to paint on a regular basis.

Start today.

Watercolor Art With Amber 🎨

Two images to show a major shift I had the other n Two images to show a major shift I had the other night. As parents we work really hard, and often have to deal with stressors and the heaviness of life. Sometimes the people we care most about get the crumbs of our emotional energy and attention. (Even if they’re getting our face time, we may not be fully present). I worked really hard for 2 months on some big projects (one being a 50-video beginner watercolor course!!) and my daughter wished we’d do something together. But I’m exhausted. Yet, I a few nights ago I took a breath and 5-4-3-2-1 decided to make a fun mini date before bedtime (thanks #melrobbins). We made matching hair in 2 minutes and then painted some watercolor valentines together. It really wasn’t a big deal, and didn’t take a lot of time. As she went to bed, she hugged me extra tight and told me I was such a good mom. Nice to hear, but I didn’t need her words to know I’d made the right choice, and that it really wasn’t even that hard. Something I thought I didn’t have the energy to do, was now done!! What about you… what in YOUR life are you deciding not to put off any longer? I wanna hear about it.
When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? When was the last time you took yourself to lunch? Only you, no coworkers, friends, or partners. #selfhealerssoundboard podcast mentioned this a few months ago, but I didn’t do it. It was only after feeling down for a few days after releasing my new watercolor course, that I realized I wasn’t celebrating. 50 videos with logical steps building a secure foundation is something to be proud of, but I was too burnt out to see it. Take a pause and with a birds’ eye view, what needs celebrating in your life? Maybe you cleaned a junk drawer finally, or sent a difficult text, or got recognized at work. Tell me… what will you celebrate? #selfcare #selfcoaching #celebrateyourself

Looking back on an amazing 2022! We've grown in the number of members, I surpassed my overall business profit goals, and I am launching my signature watercolor course in mid-January.

You guys. I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon You guys. I just went to Hobby Lobby to buy ribbon to match bookmarks to sell at my very first vendor fair Saturday. And I found a cute new blank bullet journal for 2023. At checkout I put my bookmarks off to the side out of the way while she rang up my ribbon and journal. She turned and asked if I’d paid for the bookmarks yet. I caught a breath and beamed back, “I made those!” And she said she thought they were one of theirs. I snapped this when she turned away to remember this moment. :) :) maybe someday I’ll be in #hobbylobby but for now wish me luck Saturday!!
