SPT- A Closer Look At Creativity

This week I am documenting how I am keeping one of my new year's resolutions. Yep- that's the one-

Do Something Creative Everyday.

In my quest for BALANCE I am realizing how much I need a creative outlet in my life.

Of course- it is my desire to be an artist- but I feel I am to busy to make that a commitment... (yes I am don't challenge me) so in the mean time I have to say-

I feel so incredibly fulfilled when I am creating something.

Today I made two cards for my card club. In my card club there are eight participants. Each month each person makes eight identical cards. We don't have a theme or rules, we each just make the card we want to make & it all works out. The cards are dropped off at my house where I split them all up into eight different sets. Later they either get picked up or I drop them off during my normal routine to the lucky crafters. Every month I end up with eight different handmade cards! Since I love sending good mail - I send a lot of cards. I love my card club & even on months like this one- coming up with an idea was tough, I really enjoy it. This month we had one gal drop out (she went back to school) so I am doing two & keeping two of each set. I am really low on cards so I am happy to get an extra set this month.

Making cards is great for me because it's inexpensive and can be finished quickly. I have been known to almost let the house burn down finishing a project. I HATE to quit until it's DONE. I was even late for volunteering today because I just couldn't stop until the last card was done!! Oh how I hate being late- but apparently not as much as I hate an unfinished project.

Now if I could just FINISH organizing the laundry room, office, closets, basement... you get the idea!
Some other things I have created this month

1. Several new recipes- including the best cookies ever-

(I will type post the recipe later- I promise)

2. Good mail packages- very decorated of course.

3. Three Clean bathrooms -

(it's a stretch I know but had to be done)

4. A Happy attitude- that was a bad day.

5. Visual aids for primary music.
