Hello loves, I’m thrilled you’ve found your way here!

I’ve been creating & running online courses since 2009 and in that time I’ve hosted a variety of spaces for us to gather — Flickr groups, Facebook groups, Mighty Networks, private clubhouses, Instagram hashtags — feels like I’ve done it all :-)

And now is EXACTLY the right time for us to gather here on Substack — there are no ads or social media pressure, just a lovely calm space for us to connect and get inspired.

Can you feel it too? 🩷

Why Creative Joy?

Even before I knew I was neurodivergent (I was diagnosed with ADHD at 49) I understood, on a soul level, that CREATIVITY is what fuels my life.

It’s why I’ve been journaling for FORTY YEARS! It’s why holding a camera at art school felt like coming home. And it’s why I have a collection of handmade mugs that bring me JOY every morning! 😍

✨ Creative Joy is what gets us through the day.

Sometimes it looks like art and music and baking and crafting, but mostly it’s the simplest things— a book you get lost in. A mixtape from a friend. Afternoon chai in a favourite teacup. A scrapbook filled with memories.

Plus creative joy is contagious!

Here in Creative Joy Club I share what brings me joy knowing it will spark creative joy in YOU too!

We don’t have to do the exact same things — the energy of creativity and the desire for self expression and reflection is what connects us.

Do have a look around! This space will evolve as we go on — I’ve got so many ideas — but I also know my ADHD makes me get ahead of myself and I want this place to feel calm alongside the joy.

So I won’t be overwhelming you with millions of things to keep up with, I promise.

This is our peaceful creative oasis on the internet. 🩷

How this works

Each month members enjoy the monthly video, weekly inspiration posts, community sharing, extra treats, occasional articles and interviews with fellow creative souls. We also have Zoom hangouts every two months so we can journal and create together!

Everything I share here swirls around my creative obsessions: journaling, tarot, writing, hanging with my inner child, photography, books, filling my home with JOY, fountain pens and lush stationery.

And cats, of course! 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛


I’ve outlined how the club works in the Start here / FAQ post:

In a nutshell, paid subscribers have access to EVERYTHING in the club for just £12 GBP a month or £132 GBP a year

Free subscribers have limited access to what happens here in the club but it’s a nice way to stay in touch until you feel ready to jump in! 👍

Come join us!! ✨🌈✨

All our love

Susannah (and Mousey & Lolly) xo


Kind words from a member of Journal Love Club, my journaling membership I ran from 2021 - 2024:

Testimonials says: I really can not believe it's been a whole year of journaling! Thank you Susannah for sharing your thoughts and tips, sticker suppliers and tarot decks! I've thoroughly enjoyed hunkering down in front of my own stash of goodies and zoning out for a while especially when life got pretty weird in the big world outside. My journal has turned into a beautiful place to process it all!” from Jane, Journal Love Club
