Day 3 – August Arty Challenge – There Is Joy In The Making
Good morning!
Today’s affirmation is one that feels especially close to my heart: There Is Joy in the Making.
So often we focus on the finished piece – whether it’s a card, a painting or a parchment project – but the real magic happens in the making itself. Those quiet moments at your craft desk, choosing colours, adding little details and simply enjoying the process are what creativity is really about.
It doesn’t matter if everything goes exactly to plan. Sometimes the happy accidents become your favourite part of the project. Every mark, every layer and every decision is part of your own creative journey.
I hope today’s project encourages you to slow down and lose yourself in the process. After all, the joy isn’t just in what we make… it’s in making of it.

Another lovely make, thank you.
I love this new start to my day listening and watching you create something quite beautiful: it’s very calming which is appreciated, especially today.
See you tomorrow. x
There is joy in these magic little videos, Barb! Being able to share your inspiration and creativity each day, is a blessing, and a beautiful way to spark our own creativity. Thank you for sharing and giving us the challenge to take part.
Hopefully you’re resting and listening to Dave, so you can heal properly. Take care, travel gently and find joy in the making. 😊👍🏻
Lovely I’ve got the stamps etc just not the cards, not quite my thing at the moment but I will have a go at the art.
Hope you’re feeling stronger every day and obeying Dave On this occasion! X
These are all lovely and I really like Dave’s guitar music in the background too!
A special and wonderful way with Clarity to start my day. Thank you for the absolutely delightful makes.
Love the music in the background.
Hope you are resting Barbara.
Grateful for this daily opportunity to create. 💕
Another lovely project for us to try, thank you for sharing them with us after having the idea of the August Challenge.
Hope you are still taking it easy & improving as each day passes. Perhaps you have been able to sit out in the garden in that beautiful seat. Unfortunately even my go to search engine couldn’t find the name of it. It kept finding me raised flower beds !! 😂😂
Keep Crafting everyone, there have been some amazing pieces of art shared on Facebook xx
Another beauty! I’ve not yet had time to join in – hoping to fit a few in before my holiday!
I totally agree. When a project is finished and it went well I then have to make another one.
Take care
I love this piece Barbara 🥰
I hope you’re doing ok. 😊
Sending lots of love & big hugs to you xxx
