Creative Challenge Week, Day #4: If It Doesn't Exist, Make It

6/15/2017

Searching for the perfect greeting card for someone you care about is tricky.  Why not make your own greeting cards instead? Especially when one has embarked on a creative challenge week? 

Sure, you can get fancy and sketch something fun on a blank notecard, or you can go simple and print out an image from the interwebs or even use some pretty patterned paper from a local craft supply store to cover the front of the notecard. Boom. One-of-a-kind card and a crafty project at the same time. 

I didn't see the Father's Day card I was looking for at the drug store this week, so I decided that a blank notecard (I keep a stash of these in my desk year round) covered with a wonderful vintage image of the Beatles, my dad's favorite all time band, would be perfect. I added a handwritten "Happy Father's Day!" at the top and voila! 

There is something so soothing about using your hands to do a craft project, whatever it may be. Is there something you can make yourself this week instead of purchasing it? ​

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

    What does being creative mean to you?

    How do you play every day?

    This is a space for taking a break, a breath,  and finding ways to flex our imagination and find the joy where we can. 

    ​No one is going to present us with a ready made creative life--we have  to step up and gift it to ourselves. I'm so glad you're here.
