Lauren's Creative Soapbox choice is Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin. I love, love, love Gretchen's work. It will seriously change your creative life!  Here is Lauren's post about how this book has changed her habits.

Sally's Creative Soapbox is also a book - Change Your Mind: 57 Ways to Unlock Your Creative Self, by Rod Judkins. It is similar to Austin Kleon's books Show Your Work and Steal Like an Artist.

Chatbooks came up again in our conversation today. Well priced, nice quality, super easy to do.

Lauren has two jobs now - she works on lauren-likes.com and manages the Get Messy Art Journal community with her creative partner, Caylee Grey. You can also find her on Instagram @laurenlikesblog
