A tiny crumb of validation is enough. A compliment, time granted, a random prize draw, or the gentle click of keys, or pen on paper while the chickadees flit by and the coffee is just right.

What I love about 12x12 is the community atmosphere. People are responsive and supportive. The flexibility and treasure trove of resources allows me to access high quality craft and business information on my schedule.

12x12 Anticipation Post! Trigger alert for potty humor! My favorite webinars are live because they hold me accountable to show up and participate. You know...sit, or get off the pot. However, since my day job doesn't keep me flush with cash, prerecorded options are a solid number two!
