I was previously involved and my link is still along the side… this is me renewing my commitment to try to do something creative every day! I will be very busy with moving the next couple weeks, but i will try to keep it up. Today, my creativity was a beautiful pile of wrapped presents.

Posted by: Dale | Dec 7, 2008 at 6:23 pm |

I set up a blog and wondered how to begin. I started searching blogs and WOW! what a creative community there is in the world of blogs. In the flood of blogs over the last two weeks I kept coming back here.

I haven’t even made my first post yet, but I would love to join the Creative Every Day Challenge for 2009.

Thanks!

Posted by: Sandi Adams | Dec 7, 2008 at 7:06 pm |

I am inspired by challenges and I very much will enjoy participating in this creative everyday challenge.

I would like to be more open in finding different ways to channel my creativity.
To stop thinking of creative as traditional artwork, and learn to enjoy the many other options open to creative expression.
Be it cooking, gardening…what have you.

Knowing these are creative anvenues doesn’t mean i stop and acknowledge fully they are.

For me, this challenge I hope will open my mind more and let me further outside that box.

thank you for the inspiration!

Posted by: Mary Hunt | Dec 7, 2008 at 7:23 pm |

Hi Leah,
Even though I wasn’t the greatest at participating, or I should say posting that I participated, but I’d love to give it another shot for this coming year. Just knowing this site was here, combined with some other exercises (of the mind-lol) that I’ve been doing, has made me more aware, making sure that I do something cretive everyday, and celebrate the fact that I’ve done just that. For 2009 I want to step it up a bit and be more accountable, to myself, and this will help. Thanks for doing it again!

Hi, Leah,
Making creativity a part of my every day life (instead of a special event) has been a major goal of mine so I’m in! I’ll be posting about it at Desperately Seeking Perspective (http://www.seekingpersective.blogspot.com).

Love the idea of themes … Woohoo! bring it on!

I am looking forward to the themes. I enjoy the challenge and the direction themes offer!

Hi Leah!
The weather here in CT is AWFUL! So, I took the day off and had a wonderful time making Valentines for my 2 sisters and my college age son. His Valentine includes a picture of a heart shaped papier mache box he made in kindergarten….and that led me to putting together a little package for his kindergarten teacher…hope she likes. Can’t post the photos of the cards yet….the recipients would see them!

Posted by: Eileen Honey | Jan 28, 2009 at 4:54 pm |

This will be amazing. Even if I don’t manage to create every single day, it will certainly help to keep art and creativity in the forefront of my awareness, which is just what I need.

Looking forward to becoming part of this.

I want in too! I’m excited about “words” being the creative bend for the month of February. I’m getting creatively curious about in between kinds of places. You know, waiting kinds of places. Places of no longer X, but not yet Y. Betwixt and between places (love that piece of yours!).

thanks for the invitation to explore this!

I think this is an excellent challenge and did a small post about it today. Hopefully some of the other followers will join as I know for a fact they are REALLY creative every day!

Please would you add me to your challenge?

This sounds like fun! I’m a bit overbooked, but would like to see if I can fit it in. I also quilt, create lots of small art, and have done many paintings in the past. I also love to draw, and combine stamping with drawing.

Posted by: Sally Bowen | May 9, 2009 at 6:20 am |

great idea!!

Leah,
I just came across this challenge through blog catalog. I would love to participate.
Thanks for inspiring us to continue on our creative journey.

I would love to join this challenge! I think this will keep me more focused with a theme to do during the month. Thank you Dayna Collins for pointing me in this direction!

Hello Lovely Leah!

I’d love to be listed on the rightside of your blog on the drop-down menu! That is very wonderful of you!

Could I be listed as ‘Life Breathing’ with a link to the blog.

THANK YOU! You are fabulous and inspiring. Your blog was the inspiration for all the work I’ve been up to the last 6 months!

I read about your website in a magazine yesterday (Artful Blogging, I want to say.) Anyway, I am definitely going to try and do this one. I feel as if I’ve been sitting stagnant for much too long.

Posted by: ashlee | Jun 3, 2009 at 3:02 pm |

Hi Leah,

I just came across your blog and find this an amazing site. I would like to be added to the challenge.

Thanks so much,
ellie

Posted by: Eleanor Thorel | Jun 10, 2009 at 1:54 am |

Hi Leah,

I found you through Arlene at Spirit Essence Art Blog. This will suit me to a tee! Thank you very much for creating this challenge.

I’ve been so busy building my website, I’ve neglected my favorite hobby (pencil drawing). This challenge will give me a nudge in all the right directions. Thanks Leah.

I keep a daily journal so it’s going to be fun to note what my daily creative indulgence was. I’ll keep you posted!

Posted by: Sharon Wagner | Jul 2, 2009 at 9:44 am |

Hello Leah,
have been absent from art and creating of late but am totally inspired by your art prompt, self portraits! Used some music for inspiration since I missed the sound prompt last month, was too ill and miserable, but in hind sight think I should of at least used music to infuse some muse juice, hehehe, but feeling much better and at the ready!

Posted by: Angie | Jul 7, 2009 at 4:01 am |

I want to try! Thanks for all the work you do here to encourage and inspire!

Posted by: Susan Minor | Jul 7, 2009 at 1:08 pm |

I am so in! I absolutely love this idea. I’m taking art classes right now, 5 days a week from 8-2. I’m also a musician.

Posted by: Alysha | Jul 7, 2009 at 3:31 pm |

I write major part of the year .. almost thrice a week ! and thrice a year i might draw and sketch too .. It might be too late considering its July… But can i join for 2009 ?

Dear Leah,
Thanks for your great monthly theme. I created digitally again in my blog. Like I wrote before it’s hard for me to create physically in 3D – hence the digitally created graphics. Hope that qualifies for CED :0)
Thank you for viewing!

Hugs,
Karin

Posted by: Karin | Jul 20, 2009 at 5:20 pm |

I don’t have a blog yet, and I’m coming in a little late in the year, but I’m really looking forward to participating. It will encourage me to get a blog going, which in and of itself is a worthy creative endeavor…
Peace!
-Katya

Leah,

I would love to join the creative challenge! Like Tammy, I learned about you in Artful Blogging and am a newbie. I am pretty technically unsavvy and it took me a couple weeks to put a blog together. The URL is http://www.snibblebitz.blogger.com. Thanks so much!

Posted by: Kelly | Jul 31, 2009 at 11:16 am |

I would love to join the fun and I am excited about the theme for August…Move.

Can I join so late in the game? Leah, I love your site and your artwork. Your work in Artful Blogging caught my eye so I bought the copy and read the article which led me to your blog which in turn led me to Jamie Ridler’s TNC. At the time CED seemed a little daunting but wrecking a journal seemed plausible. Now after all the wrecking I feel a little more up to the challenge. I will be travelling a great deal in August which is when I always seem to fall of my creative path so this is very timely for me! Thanks!

Posted by: Kim | Aug 1, 2009 at 1:16 pm |

Hi! I would love to join in!

Posted by: Marian | Aug 1, 2009 at 3:26 pm |

I would love to join this project. I recently began keeping an art journal. My goal is to create in this journal everyday. I would love to have the opportunity to join you.

Posted by: Kat | Aug 25, 2009 at 7:18 pm |

I found your site from Elizabeth Harper’s Website “Gifts Of The Journey”. I would like to be creative on a regular basis, mainly writing. I want to take up the challenge, knowing that it is low pressure, one for creative inspiration rather than “hurry up and compete”. Thanks! Judy

Posted by: Judy Harper | Aug 25, 2009 at 9:22 pm |

I’m enjoying the them of “move” this month, it’s got me into action. I’ve just posted a pic of the painting I did for the recent August New Moon. It’s very simple and the idea was to release our house for sale to a new owner in line with New Moon energies. We already have an offer which is close to our asking price, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed.

I’m also going to make you all drool with envy (well, maybe, depending on your tastes) as I’m travelling to Melbourne tomorrow to see the Salvador Dali art exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. I’ve loved Dali’s work since I saw it either at the National or Tate galleries when I worked in London in the early ’70s. So I was thrilled when it was announced that the Dali exhibition was going ahead this winter.

Hey there Leah!

I was sent to ur page just recently and hope ya can still count me in!!! I doodle and post aaalmost daily and def would like to share with everyone else on here!

Thanks and take care!

Posted by: Jeremytheartist | Sep 2, 2009 at 6:17 pm |

Hi Leah, count me in for the September’s Inspiration challenge pls. My sources for inspiration are extensive…..cloud formations, books, other artists work, my garden, thunder storms, the baby skunk who visits to steal the feral cats food, colour combinations. However, getting all these ideas onto canvas or fabric becomes difficult, because I get so overloaded I can’t decide where to start. So my Inspiration challenge goal is to practice focusing on just one inspiration at a time and dealing with it in some way. Wish me luck!!

I hope I’m not too late – I NEED to be part of this project!

Posted by: Betsy Holster | Sep 14, 2009 at 5:20 pm |

Beginning this month (September) I want to take part in this- I found you through Amanda Jolley’s blog. And I am very glad I did. VERy cool! I have been in a funk, exaustion, depression, really and put away my supplies except for digital work. Last week I dragged them all back out again and bought some new watercolors. So I am charged up to find this challenge and your blog!!!

Posted by: Artful Amanda | Sep 14, 2009 at 7:12 pm |

Hi, Add me in. I love this idea and this past month I’ve been living up to the concept by holding a Full Moon painting session for my friends to let go of stuff they no longer need and an art project of my own to coincide with Pluto leaving its retrograde position and turning direct. This site really inspires me to recognise creativity in all its forms every day, even if I’m feeling stonkered by fibromyalgia. It lifts me spirits and I’m truly thankful.

Posted by: Mo Davies | Sep 17, 2009 at 9:44 pm |

Love your artwork and this inspiring blog. I too have been pondering about the topic of inspiration and so fitting it is the theme for September! Please add my blog: http://www.tortagialla.com

Thanks!

Sign me up! This is a great idea – thank you for coming up with this. It is always a treat to meet and see other creative people inspiring other creatives!

Posted by: Karabeth Hanna | Sep 22, 2009 at 11:40 am |

Please sign me up! I used your theme of October, “Connect” to do my first ever art journal page. http://journal-addict.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-art-journal-first-page.html
I was looking at different blogs, wondering where to start, and “Connect” was the right thing to begin with. I hope to develop my art-journaling skills by doing challenges like this.

Posted by: Dolly | Sep 26, 2009 at 10:44 pm |

Hi Leah,

Amazing what I run into just going from blog to blog. My focus these days is the growing conviction that creativity is the cure to compulsive eating.

Count me in on the Challenge!!

Sandi

Posted by: Sandi Delia | Sep 27, 2009 at 4:53 pm |

I would love to consciously add more creativity into my life. I guess I’m joining this kind of late but I’m so glad you had this idea and it seems the right month (inspiration) for me to join!

Thanks

Mmmm…
¿Nadie habla español por aquí?

Well, please, excuse my English (Shakespeare, forgive me! …)

I think it’s a very interesting initiative: trying to be creative every day… And in September: “Inspiration” (1% fantasy and 99% perspiration, no?).

Well, my first “inspiration” has been adapted a bit of a my comic of … 25 years ago! (yes, I am a bit old, yes … only 49,857 years old)

Greetings.

Posted by: Pedro Villarrubia | Oct 1, 2009 at 5:45 am |

Hello Leah, I’ve been “lurking” for a while but would like to participate occasionally……sign me up! I have a goal of just being in touch with something creative that takes the everyday pressure off some, and I have many interests! Right now, I do not have a personal blog but well, there’s another goal. Have a wonderful month everyone!

Posted by: Julie A. Brown | Oct 5, 2009 at 8:09 am |

Thank you!

Posted by: Kelly Wilsey | Oct 16, 2009 at 9:46 pm |

I’m a clay artist and have appreciated so much your CED posts to keep me on track. Loved the photos…your wedding looked magical and the really original cake was “fabu-lishes.” The theme “connect” seems to fit what my current passion and obsession is with my creations. I am drawn to words and love passing along a message with my pottery by inscribing one word or a quote to inspire someone else. I’ve been keeping up with Goddess Leonie and her soul inspiring gift for words and would love to win the meditation gift you are offering.
