Did she ever finish 2021 Journal Your Christmas? It seems that she said she was coming back ... but never did.
I'm sorry to say since I've always enjoyed Shimelle classes, but it seems to me that her interest wanes, too much, toward the last of a class.

I didn't take the JYC class but I have found that so many of her classes don't stay on schedule. I like her classes...the content is great & it's very robust but it finishes late and often with some bonus material to make up for it. I'll still purchase classes from her but I never take them "live" for this reason.

I love Shimelle, but I have learned to take what she says about upcoming content with a grain of salt. |

I’m waiting to sign up for the colour class for this reason. I’ll have more time to work on it this summer and so I’m waiting until then to sign up and hopefully most of the content will be up by then.

I know, I thought about that as well, but she did say (fingers crossed!!) that there would be some live sessions, and I would really love to participate in those, so I did sign up early. |

I think she alluded to some stuff going on over the Christmas season that mentally put her in a headspace that made it difficult for her to keep working on it during one of her lives. Honestly, if she doesn't have the final stuff on any class posted within a few days of the scheduled finish, I just assume it's never coming.
It's a shame, as I really enjoy her classes, I feel like I've learnt a lot from her over the years, and I want to support her business, but the business side of it seems to be her weak spot. Sometimes I think the only reason she has her business is because she's obviously passionate about the industry, she shares her knowledge willingly, and she has a very solid fanbase (and yes, I include myself in that).

You're right. It happens almost every year, one way or another. And every year I forgive. Shimelle gives so much value with (mostly) regular posts all through December and into January and the lifetime access. Even without seeing finished albums every year I feel like I get value for money. I think this past year was rough and had more repeats and interruptions than most years, and she alluded to dealing with some major anxiety issues or something similar at the end of the Christmas period, but didn't necessarily communicate that well with everyone taking the class. And it bugged me that she said she'd filmed video of the last part (after she was feeling better) and would be getting it edited for us soon... and never did  I'm not upset with her, I just want to see it! |

Yeah I’d like to do the live sessions as well but the chances of them working out for me is slim so I’m willing to forgo them. 🤷♀️ |
