Peek inside The Clubhouse, our free online creativity community
To deliver on the "Club" part of our name, we've broken ground on The Clubhouse, a members-only area of our website that will give Club Members access to:
- Games, quests, quizzes, and more fun activities
- Groups with posts, comments, and reactions
- Guilds for connecting and competing with other makers
We're working hard to build a safe community that's free of Big Tech oligarch nonsense. But we need your help to make it happen.
Running a website ain't cheap, and right now, we're paying all costs totally out of pocket.
To help us grow, please consider downloading a freebie or buying a goodie from the Joyful Shop.
Support the club
We share as many free resources as we can reasonably produce, and all our workbooks are within the price of a coffee. Everything we make is based on real stuff we use daily in our business and creative practice.

Behind the curtain: Meet the founder
Hey! Thanks for stopping by the club. I'm Mel, the human behind the scenes of Joyful. (Yep, just one human — no "generative" stuff allowed here, which includes this lil avatar!)
A writer at heart, I've been crafting stuff for over 25 years, and for as long as I can remember. I dabble in scrapbooking, embroidery, music, clay art, and everything else in between.
Bummed at the lack of communities out there for "multi-hyphenates" like me, and frustrated by the ongoing enshittification of the internet, I set out to build the space I always wanted to be part of.
You can learn more about me on our about page — but for now, a rundown of our top 3 beliefs here at the club:
- Finances should never be a barrier to creativity.
- Amplifying creatives in marginalized communities is our shared duty.
- All artistic spaces (including websites like ours) should be designed for accessibility.
