Wishing You a Happy and Creative New Year!

January 1, 2026 Your Creative Connection, Inc.

As we welcome in a whole new YEAR of creative possibilities, we want to wish you all a healthy, happy, and colorful New Year!

Our big news on the final day of 2025 was the extension of the deadline for our International Mail Art - Celebration of Sapphire call for art. The new and final target date for submissions is January 31, 2026. We hope that this extension will allow you to begin the year with creative exploration and will also allow you to share a bit of that artistic expression with us! You will find all of the necessary details below.

As always, should you have any questions, feel free to contact us: via e-mail, on Facebook, or on Instagram.

Until next time,
- Penny & Michelle

Welcome 2023!

January 6, 2023 Your Creative Connection, Inc.

Greetings, Creative Explorers!

We hope that this bright and shiny New Year is treating you well. Were your Holidays magnificent? Did Santa bring you new creative tools/toys/tricks?
Please do share!

Michelle & I enjoyed Christmas festivities with family and friends. It was a lovely respite as we head into the New Year with renewed vigor and fresh focus.

Planning continues for our return to the shore and Seaside Sessions 2023. We are so excited to welcome our latest bunch of Creative Explorers to our haven by the sea. While we are currently full, we do have a Wait List in the event that a place opens up. Please contact us to join. Wait List applicants will be contacted in the order in which their request(s) were received if an opening becomes available.

We’ll be back soon with more creative merriment and behind the scenes peeps at our preparations for Seaside Sessions 2023. If we have piqued your interest, please share us with a friend - the more the merrier on this journey of creative exploration!

Wishing you all an incredible, juicy, colorful, and creative path through this wide open New Year.
Until next time,
- Penny & Michelle
