Tiny, Little Things (that are actually Big)
January 20th, 2008
A big part of what I'd like the Creative Every Day challenge to for myself and others, is to help us notice the little things and the small ways we can be creative. We may not have time to make a masterpiece every day, but we can always find some way (no matter how small) to be creative. And by looking at the many ways we can be creative in our lives, we bring ourselves into the now. In our computer culture, many of us (myself included) get a bit of information add, slowing down to notice the little ways in which we are creative in our everyday lives helps us to stop and focus on all the small things that make our life beautiful. And that's beautiful!
I was just over at Violet's Ink and she talked about a cool blog called Overlooked. I'd never heard of it before! But it's a new challenge that is all about the everyday little things in life. And in a bit of cool synchronicity, there's a picture on the blog of the mug that I posted a picture of last week...yes, the one that says "Do Something Creative Every Day." Gotta love that. 
I don't really need another mug, but I think the Universe is telling me to get that one as a little reminder of my daily practice.
Today's creatactivity was varnishing up the two pieces I finished up yesterday and collaging the background for three more. I'm a posting maniac today!

I’ve just come up from my studio and so it feels like a good time to take a moment and say “CHEERS!” to you and to Creative Every Day 2008. I’m loving this years seriously mondo-beyondo.
Why? Because of ART! 
Congrats on your BEAUTIFUL Etsy shop and the best of luck to you! You’ll do well–I just know it.
Lots of love!

You are indeed a posting maniac. I don’t mind that one bit. I enjoy coming here and finding a new post. My favorite mug is from Starbucks, and I fill it with Senseo coffee, extra strong with low fat milk. Sometimes I drink hot chocolate milk, just like you. It takes care of that craving. Have a wonderful productive day.
Hugs.

You are a living, breathing, writing inspiration. I wish I had 1/10th of your energy — not to mention talent! Much love to you this peaceful Sunday night. xoxo

Thanks for all the great links!
It is true, living and breathing creativity makes me see more in life and that feels great! For one thing something as simple as making dinner is more fun now when it’s a part of everything not just food that I must eat.

And you are right its the tiny things that really do matter… if we miss them we’ve missed everything… I must remember that!

Thanks for the mention! Rarely does anyone need another mug but there always seems to be room for just one more, kinda like dessert after a big meal.
Congrats on your etsy sells!
