The widget below is an optional method of sharing your creativity that makes it easier for others to check out what you're up to. You can use it to link to a blog post (or posts) or flickr image during the week listed. Or if you have a bunch of posts and don't want to link to all of them, you can link to your main blog page once. Do it in a way that makes sense and is fun for you! If you're unsure about how to use the widget, check out the "How to use the Mr. Linky widget" section on the Creative Every Day Challenge page. (If you're reading this in a RSS reader or email subscription, you will not see the "Mr. Linky widget", so click on over to the blog to use it.) If the Mr. Linky widget is missing from this blog post, it's probably a problem with their server and it will come back as soon as it's fixed. You can always leave your link in the comments. There is sometimes a slight delay in your link/image showing up in the Mr. Linky widget, so if you don't see it immediately, check back in a little bit.

You can also take advantage of the great CED flickr group to post your images and see what others are up to. If you're on Twitter or Instagram you can use the hashtag #CED2015!Find us on Facebook here.

Let the Elephants Run

June 5th, 2015, Comments (1)

My inspiration for the Boundaries theme this month was a book I was recently sent, Let the Elephants Run: Unlock Your Creativity and Change Everything by David Usher. I've read a lot of books about creativity, so combined with a low attention span driven by life with tiny children, it takes a lot to truly capture my interest. Well, this book did. The way it's written in short bursts with bold graphics, caught my eye immediately. And the messages and action steps spoke to me. I found myself nodding a lot and thinking and then sketching out a big idea I've had in my head for weeks.  

The boundaries theme was inspired by this quote: "Pushing hard on the boundaries and being 'experimental' may not be where you need your imagination to live full-time for your creativity to function, but there is great value in being able to visit this place once in a while. The ability to vacation our imagination on the edge gives us the ability to expand our mind, opening us up to a whole world of possibility."
