30 Days of Creativity..Day 1, 2 & 3

Finally I get to start working on my 30 Day of Creativity from this post.  I planned to get started on May 1st and blog it all for the whole month but looks like I will have to play catch up a bit on this post.

Day 1: When you were a child, how did you express your creativity?


When I was a wee little one I love all things creative. My art teacher was a really funky, laid back and patient lady. I wish I remembered her name. She kept us busy with Tye-dye, string art, painting, drawing, paper mache..I was in pure heaven in her class. I'm sure it drove my family nutty to have to find places to display my masterpieces. Most of my pieces were marker drawn.  Which inspired my ATC above. I created this for a monthly swap on the AC Moore forum. The theme was Spring and the challenge was to include markers.

 Day 2: What colors are meaningful to you and why?

I love earthtones..This picture from photobucket really shows off the color pallette. Something about these colors really says "home" to me. They are comforting and energetic all at the same time. My fave is the red but currently I'm obsessed with avacado green. Growing up I loved all things blue, it felt rebellious to me. I was a girl and only wanted to wear blue.

Day3: What words or phrases do you find inspiring and why?

Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.~ Winston Churchill
    Enough said. Just enjoy the journey and you have it figured out.

All great achievements require time. ~Maya Angelou
  How can this not ring true..Always have to remind myself to be patient I'm still learning. Baby Steps.

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.  ~Albert Einstein
 Can't forget this one. I'm am not less or more than the world around me. We all do the best we can with the skills we have.


Now that I am all caught up with the first few days. I can't wait to get some projects started for the next 27 days.

  1. What a great idea. Where did you find the questions, or are you making them up as you go? If you don't mind, I'd like to join you on a 30 day trip of creativity. Maybe hold each other accountable? I sometimes can't get motivated. You've done a nice job on this blog.
