Finding Creative Peace






I'm starting on a new creative journey.
It's a peaceful journey that I'm looking to take.
You see, my office/ craft room has some dirty little secrets.
They're tucked away in corners and cubbies of the room.



My garage holds quite a few secrets, too.

I’m guessing some of you wonderfully crafty ladies out there might also have a secret or two.
 
It’s something I don’t like to talk about.
Heck, I don’t even like to think about it.
 
But it’s time to confess…
time to bring them out of the dark and into the light…
or I will not be able to take my peaceful journey.
 
i have unfinished projects.
There…I said it!
 
I HAVE UNFINISHED PROJECTS!!!

LOTS OF THEM!!
Now, what I’m going to do about this is key to my peaceful journey.
My peaceful, creative journey is going to let me find a relaxed creative place.
I know I’m doing something creative in that place.
But not every craft and hobby is for every person.
 
WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS?
 
Sooo….
I will give each of my lonely little abandoned projects one more try.
One last chance to make me happy.
 
If I’m feeling stress…
 
If I’m not feelin’ the love…
 
If I’m not feeling peacefully happy…
 
Then…
I’m breaking up with my stuff!!
No more dirty little secrets!!
They will be finished with love…
or banished forever from my life!!
 
And I will be at peace.
 
Hey anyone out there looking for a few good projects…
(one woman’s trash, ya know…)
 
Anyway…
 
The first stop on my journey…

appropriately…

is painting a PEACE sign.
 
I do love to paint.

This was supposed to be for my son’s room as it’s one of his favorite sayings.

I wonder if he’ll care that I keep it.
He hardly remembered it when I showed it to him.
 
I think it’s perfect for my office/craft room wall!
 
PEACE.
