Creative Saturday

Below are the things I was able to spend time being creative with. I made small goals...unlike resolutions...these small goals are easily achieved. One of them was to practice my piano daily or at least three times a week, draw daily and create a new recipe once a week. Two out of three isn't too bad because the cookies aren't from a new recipe, in fact, they are from the refrigerated section of the store, but I did achieve the other two for today.

Yesterday, I started feeling antsy. Sometimes when I feel that way, I discover that I need a change of scenery or that I have pent up energy that needs to be re-directed. So, today, I noticed a peace and calmness as I created and I breathed a sigh of thanks to God for showing me that I needed to be still.

How was your creative Saturday?

It all sounds very relaxing! You're very talented with your drawing! I've been drawing a little bit here and there with the kids and I'm finding that I really enjoy it...who knew it could be so relaxing?!

I like the idea of goals instead of resolutions. That makes sense to me!
I'm impressed with the drawing. I can play piano and make cookies, but can't draw a stick man!

Wow! Your drawing's great, Simone! I "created" a birthday card with Z, because J created one (that's why Z wanted to do one as well!). Now, the birthday boy got 2 birthday cards! :)

I'm impressed! If I can breathe, think, walk and talk, I consider myself creative for any given day.

You put me to shame!

Your drawing is quite remarkable! I wish I had that bit of craftiness that you have!

No craftiness yesterday but now that Christmas presents have all been opened around here, I can finally tell you that I made a quilt for my son! It's been five years in the making, and your crafty nudges were the final push I needed to get it done. Thanks!

I got out the Wii and moved a bit. Felt good and so, it will now be back in the daily routine.

I colored my hair.
Does that count as being Creative?

Simone, You are one amazing woman - you cook, you create redipes, you draw and paint, you play piano, you write...is there anything you DON'T do?
That drawing - it's Mike and Sulley, right? Nice lines, very well done.

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
