My son went to a creative party recently. For you moms looking for birthday ideas, this is one for the artistic child in your life! His invite included a bag of items and a call to create before the party. "Rudolph" was inspired from green clay, a cork, pipe cleaners, a red pom pom, and a wooden cube. Isn't it funny how children remind us to get our creative juices flowing? We just need supplies and imagination.
Yet as adults, we think our time is reserved for the "practical". I often measure my work by whether it produced the right results to get from Point A to Point B. Or the perfectionists in the room think that if it can't be marketed, packaged and sold at Nordstrom, it must not be worth creating.
Maybe today, each of us can make something fun. Something that brings a smile to our face. Something we remember when we pull it out of our keepsake box. An experience we share with someone we love. Something less than perfect.
After all, you probably have some pipe cleaners hanging around your house somewhere.
