Monday Marvels: Creating

First I must thank all of you for such wonderful comments to my pettiness last week. Honestly I sounded like a little kid pouting that I'm not pretty. (blushing now) But I think it has more to do with my mama saying it. And I know she loves me and is pretty blunt with the truth. So I'm all good now. But I never cease to be amazed by the wonderful support I receive from you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I could start by beating myself up for not spending time in the studio

Saying I was lazy or too scared to do so

But if I look back I realize I was creative in other ways

And dragged those around me into my play

My hubby's cousin expressed an interest in drawing

So I sent her home with sketch pad & pencil

My old boss came by and expressed an interest

So he got a crash course in collage

My son and I had egg decorating duties

And we did so willingly

And then the search began

With the Easter bunny having no mercy

As eggs were underground, and in cars, and in seats

And once they were all found, it was time to unscramble the letters

To find where the basket was hidden

And a box of sidewalk chalk provide endless hours of fun

For all of us

Including the dog who thought a swirl looked like an area rug

And the perfect place for a nap

I decided to outline her in chalk

Too bad I didn't have Crime Scene tape

It would have been just perfect

So, creativity is everywhere, you just have to look
