Creative Challenge



My mom was really creative, she sewed like you wouldn't believe!  Me, I papercraft - make cards, mini albums, wall art, and scrapbooks.  She could look at something and then know how she wanted to make it.  I do that with my creating.  

I am my mom's only daughter - to have a daughter - that had a daughter.  I am very proud of Terra and Zoey.  My kids were one thing I did right, let me tell you!  This picture was the time we surprised my mom with both her and Zoey, along with my sons!  Terra had her just before HER birthday in December, mom had cancer - so we had to surprise mom with my kids for Mother's Day!   

Since my mom died, I haven't had the creativity that I used to.  It is as if it died when she died.  I have a hard time now picking up the paper, the stamps, and using the Cricut machine to create much of anything.  It sucks, let me tell you.  So, when I do have inspiration, I try to take advantage of it because I have no idea when the next inspiration will hit!  

Whether you are creative or not - pick a project this week that you haven't done, wanted to do, and do it!  Make a card, get an album started, learn a new craft, read a book, do a project you have had on your mind - SOMETHING!  If you don't create - then journal...  Find an event in your past that you want to write about - and do it! 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time!
