Ten years ago, I sat at my kitchen table with a set of coloured pencils and told myself I’d just have a go. That tiny act of courage changed everything.

Since then, I’ve realised that creativity isn’t just about art – it’s about coming home to yourself. When we draw, we slow down. We breathe a little deeper. We see the world  and ourselves  with softer eyes. And in that space, something truly beautiful happens: we reconnect.

With World Kindness Day tomorrow, it feels like the perfect moment to remember that kindness isn’t just something we give to others – it’s something we can offer ourselves, too. And for me, art has always been one of the kindest things I can do for myself.

That’s exactly what Find Your Spark Month is all about – a free, month-long celebration (15th November–15th December) of creativity, confidence, and connection. 

And this year, I’m adding a little extra festive sparkle! 

As part of Find Your Spark Month, I’m inviting you to join my 12 Days of Christmas Draw-Along – a completely free, step-by-step tutorial inside my Spark App that will guide you through drawing the sweetest festive kitten. 

From 14th to 25th December, a new “door” will open each day, revealing the next part of your drawing – like a creative advent calendar! By Christmas Day, you’ll have a finished piece to treasure, and a sense of calm that comes from taking time just for you.

You’ll also receive:

 ✨ Daily inspiration and creative prompts – gentle reminders to create, reflect, and breathe
💛 Mindset moments – to quiet the inner critic and rebuild confidence
🌈 A creative community – thousands of artists coming together to share their work and celebrate creativity in all its forms
💬 Real stories – from people who’ve rediscovered their spark through art

So, on this World Kindness Day, let this be your reminder:

Be kind to your creativity.
Be gentle with yourself.
And if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

Make yourself a cuppa, find a cosy spot, and get ready to bring a little festive magic to life, one pencil stroke at a time.
