Living a creative life....

Saw this and had to share.... I think that this says it all...

I had to find something other than a project to share for today.... as I have had 24 hours of intermittent internet and them my husband transferring everything from one PC to another... Which means I haven't got a project photo to share! Lots of projects made and photoed... just no access to them! He promises me I will have them in a few hours!!

This is also the reason why the individual Team Training Woodland Cards weren't added later yesterday - they have been now...

This quote really got me thinking.... From a creative perspective.... And apologies for my ramblings.....

But I have an admittance for you - I am or get it wrong creatively loads of the time!

I make lots of things that go wrong!
Some go in the bin...
Most get altered or covered up....
Many of my wrongs get shown to - or even made by my ladies...
I even post some on here... Often with details of what went wrong too...

I am perfectly happy to admit that I got something wrong...
I am quite happy to share something I did wrong... That way most people don't make the same wrong!

I learn from everything that goes wrong...
Most importantly...My creative wrongs so often produce something right or just different... A new idea... A new technique... A new card design... A new style... I could go on for quite a long time here.... But it is so true...

I say lots of things that come out wrong!
Particularly annoying when I am explaining how to make something!
Usually I realise and re- step my tracks and say it again differently....
Apologies when I don't!

My ladies sometimes go wrong in a class....
The next person never makes the same wrong....
And we have all definitely learnt more creativity from the "how to cover this up" question....

I have definitely lost my fear.... Have you?

I guess that may be why I enjoy my creative life so much... Nothing to fear...
Now I just need to apply this to the rest of my life!

Yes, this quote really got me thinking..... but I will stop here....

My Creative Mind & Weekly Deals!

Saw this! Had to share! I think this sums up my creative mind SO perfectly. No wonder I am like what I am!!!

This made me cry with laughter when I first came across it on Pinterest... though after a bit of research... I think it has been doing the rounds for a year or so...don't know why it took me so long to see it! I just love the originator's take on this... hilarious... Is this you too??? It is definitely me!

And for those of you visiting for this week's Weekly Deals...here they are...

If you haven't got the Envelope Punch Board yet... don't miss this...such a fun tool... even though it is bettered in my opinion by the new Gift Bag Punch Board!

And -  for us Europeans - if you haven't got the Simply Scored Metric Plate for your Simply Scored scoreboard... again... well now is the time...particularly as mine has had full use over the past few days.... you have been warned! Unfortunately I can't post a photo of my new makes... definitely too dark to take any tonight by the time I finished...

And the Flower Patch stamps have been a best seller...so this is a great deal for those of you who prefer ( or are happy) to fussy cut than get the matching dies out!

See you tomorrow.. after I have photoed some projects in the daylight hours!!
