The simplest things become exquisite with twinkle lights. Most things can become beautiful when viewed in the right light... even the most difficult situations.

Um, so this whole creativity challenge isn't working out in a very timely manner. I'm going to keep posting as much as possible. Like, really, really try. Keep me to it.

Days 6-12

Today, I'm playing catch-up. I have been keeping up (mostly...) day-by-day; however, I have been so busy creating that I haven't posted any. Oops.

I made 14 of these pinwheels to decorate the pews of the church for the wedding. I found the tutorial for all the pinwheels on StyleMePretty. The paper is torn from hymn books. The trailing ribbons are made from old curtains and some upcycled tablecloths. My grandmother would be so happy that I'm reusing some of her goods. I wish she could be there for the wedding. I plan on adding some paper, sparkly embellishments I just bought on Etsy. I'll show you the finished product when I get them.

Also for the wedding... not sure for where, but they're pretty.

Day 3

Take an Autumnal walk with me...

Creativity and Resurrecting the Blog

Hello there. I've decided to take myself up on my own challenge. I've been writing quite a bit on creativity here. I've decided I'm going to try to do one creative thing every day for one month and see what happens. As I've had this blog for years and it has always served as an outlet for creativity wherever I am in my life, I decided to continue using it. We'll see where this goes. Wish me luck!

EDIT: You can see how well that went... :)

The Perfect Summer Day...

Today my sister Mandy and I spent some time outside simply enjoying the beauty and splendor of our natural habitat. It was a gorgeous day! We brought a bowl of cherries with us and entertained ourselves seeing who could spit cherries the farthest. Mandy read her book while entertained myself writing away. We throughly ourselves sunbathing in our own backyard.
