HI THERE!

I’m Jackie Schomburg, and I believe creativity is more  than just making art—it’s how we rest, reconnect, and remember who we are.

As a mom of three and a full-time artist, I know how hard it can feel to carve out time for yourself. But here’s what I’ve learned: you don’t need hours in the studio or expensive supplies to feel creative again. Even a few minutes of playful mark-making can restore calm, bring joy, and rebuild the confidence you thought you’d lost.

This guide will show you how to use grid journaling as a simple, flexible way to sneak creativity into your busy days. It’s beginner-friendly, zero-pressure, and fun—whether you’re brand new to art or just feeling stuck in your current practice.

Think of this as your first step toward creating with freedom and curiosity again. And once you feel that spark? You’ll see just how powerful small, consistent creative practices can be.
