Before we step fully into a new year, it feels important to pause – just for a moment – and look back. Because goodness me… what a year 2025 has been 💛

This year-end video is a little wrap-up of the magic we’ve shared together over the past twelve months, and putting it together filled me with equal parts pride, gratitude, and a very full heart.

2025 wasn’t just busy – it was meaningful. It was creative. It was colourful. And it was built, piece by piece, by an extraordinary community of artists choosing to show up for themselves.

A Year of Drawing Together

Throughout 2025, we found so many ways to draw together – gently, joyfully, and without pressure.

We shared:

• workshops and live draw-alongs
  
• Ignite Art Club sessions and Ignite in Focus weeks
  
• Coloured Pencil Week and My Great British Art Party
  
• the much-loved 12 Days of Christmas Draw-Along
  
• and countless confidence-building moments in between
  

Every session was an invitation – not to be perfect, but to pick up your pencils and begin where you were.

New Chapters and Creative Growth

Alongside our drawing sessions, 2025 also brought some exciting new beginnings.

This was the year I welcomed:

• 🌈 the launch of my Spark App, offering daily encouragement and creative prompts
  
• 🎙 the launch of my Bonny Unfiltered newsletter and Living in Full Colour podcast
  
• 💛 a growing, deeply supportive Facebook community
  
• ✨ and the continued evolution of Ignite into the creative sanctuary it’s become
  

Each of these was created with the same intention at heart: to make creativity feel accessible, supportive, and deeply human.

It’s Always Been About the People

As wonderful as the launches, events, and sessions have been, what has meant the most to me this year isn’t any single project.

It’s you.

Your courage to try.
Your willingness to wobble.
Your progress – seen and unseen.

Your decision, again and again, to choose creativity as an act of self-kindness.

Thank you for giving yourself time.
Thank you for letting drawing be about joy rather than judgement.
Thank you for being part of this year.

I hope this wrap-up video reminds you just how much you’ve been part of  and how much still lies ahead.

Here’s to everything we created together in 2025… and everything we’re about to step into next.
