I have had an Easter door-hanger project since the end of February, and it is almost finished. It’s cute. It’s a bunny. It had BIG “look at me being seasonal and decorating” energy. And guess what? Easter is in 3 days… and that thing has been moved to the bottom of my to-do list more times than I care to admit. Like… at this point, are we decorating for Easter or just aggressively planning for next year? 🫠 So now I’m sitting here asking myself: Are we freeing the bunny 🐰 or promoting it to content queen? 😏 Because let’s be honest… am I really hanging it on my door for 3 days? Or am I just trying to prove I can finish what I started? 👀 And THIS is where it hit me… It’s not about the bunny. 🐰 It’s about the fact that I keep carrying things that don’t fit my current energy anymore… …and then I sit here wondering why I feel stuck. And I have a feeling I’m not the only one 👀 So try this with me today: Pick ONE thing from your list and ask: Is it... ✨ A MUST do (non-negotiable, now) ✨ A WANT to do (fun, but not urgent) ✨ A NOT NOW / MARINATE (future, stop touching it) Then decide: ✨ Let it go ✨ Move it up ✨ Or give it a real deadline (or a new purpose 👀) Because it’s not the list… 👉 It’s all that undecided/unfinished energy sitting with it Please tell me I’m not the only one with a project quietly judging me from across the room 😅 👇 What’s your “Easter bunny project”? ps... (you can get the bunny design in @Connie Beaty Green Velvet Subscription box HERE.)

Normally, it's Moodboard Monday, but today felt different. I may still post a moodboard later, but let's go down this rabbit hole for a minute. Ever notice how the harder you try to make something work… the more it just… doesn’t? 😩 Like you’re doing all the “right things” and somehow it still feels… off. There’s a weird moment in the creative process where you stop creating… and start proving. Proving it’ll work. Proving you’re consistent. Proving this idea is “worth it.” And suddenly… Your spark turns into strategy. Your voice turns into noise. Your energy? Scattered like glitter in a windstorm. ✨🌪️ So you push harder. Because obviously that’s the answer, right? Nope. Sometimes the reason it’s not working isn’t because you need to do more… It’s because you’ve drifted just far enough away from you that your work can’t find its pulse anymore. What if the move isn’t forward… but inward? What if the magic isn’t in refining it… but in remembering it? That version of you who: didn’t overthink the color choice didn’t question the idea didn’t need it to “perform” Yeah… that one. So instead of asking: “What do I need to do to make this work?” Try this instead: 👉 “Where did I stop trusting myself in the process? Where did I lose my curiosity in creating?" And start there. Be honest… Are you creating right now? Or are you trying to prove something? 👇 I’m listening.

WTF Wednesdays started as my way of dropping free designs for you to play with… but if I’m being honest? Lately, it has started feeling like… Kelly makes things 👉 you vote 👉 repeat. And that’s not what I want this space to be. I don’t want this to feel like it’s about me. I’m not the show. I’m just the host holding the door open. What I actually want? I want this to feel like the place where you walk in and think: "Oh… these people get me.” The ones with too many ideas. Half-finished projects. Random bursts of genius at the worst possible times. The “I don’t want to pick just one thing” energy. The kind of space where… ✨ You share something messy, and people encourage you to keep going ✨ You get unstuck because someone else said the thing you needed to hear ✨ You stop overthinking and just start creating ✨ You feel like you found your people… your "tribe" So if we’re shifting WTF Wednesdays… we’re not just changing what I post. We’re changing what this space "feels like". 👇 So tell me… In your dream version of our Creative AF tribe… What makes you stay? What makes you show up? What makes you think “yeah… this is home.” No filters. No “right” answers. Let’s go down the rabbit hole and build this space "together" 🔥 ps... feel free to use this "The Dream Awaits" design if it strikes your fancy.

Apparently, time just hit fast-forward and didn’t ask for permission. 😑 And honestly… same energy as these designs. A little chaotic. A little magical. A whole lot of “where did THAT come from?” So let’s take a stroll through today’s lineup of creative personalities (because yes… they all have one): 🐉 Drama Level: Expert We’ve got a full-blown dragon standoff like it’s a medieval episode of “You Said What Now?” Blue vs Red. Calm vs Chaos. Coffee vs No Coffee. 🦉 The All-Seeing Creative This one knows you started 7 projects and finished… vibes. Just vibes. No judgment. Just… intense eye contact. 🐎 Soft Girl Energy (But Make It Powerful) If peace had a texture… it would look like this. A whole exhale in design form. 🐰 Main Character of Spring Florals? Obviously. Attitude? Subtle but present. This bunny did NOT wake up to be average. 🌸 Quiet Beauty That Sneaks Up on You Not loud. Not flashy. But somehow… you keep going back to it like “wait… why do I love this so much?” 🐄 + 🐦 Unexpected Friendships Department Because sometimes the most random combinations… just work. (Like your creative brain at 2am.) 🦜 The Loud Ones (We Love Them Anyway) Bold. Dramatic. Slightly chaotic. Probably interrupting your thoughts with a new idea right now. ✨ And here’s the real question… If your creativity had a mood today… Which one are you? 🐉 “Don’t test me.” 🦉 “I see everything but will act on nothing.” 🐎 “Peace… but make it productive.” 🐰 “Cute but capable.” 🦜 “I have 47 ideas and zero chill.” Drop your mood below 👇 Because clearly… we’re not managing time anymore. We’re just… decorating it. 🎨
