Today while merchandising the shop at MudWorks I noticed an extra cute bag. (Yes, I'm advertising here but I would only do it if I loved the product I was talking about. Eco Fugly is a line of bags and journals that use recycled material and handmade clay buttons.) Annnnnyyyyway...this one had a patch of material that had little road signs and roads and I was instantly inspired. We will be taking a long journey tomorrow and will be in the car for hours. Sure, I already have a goody bag of coloring books and activities, etc but this would be a cute little special something for my creative little girl. There is a brand new pack of the coolest mini colored pencils, a sketchpad and a note pad and they will be contained in this travel pouch. She can also add little trinkets or collected items to the pouch. We seem to find rocks and other odds and ends everywhere we go. She can use the pages to draw a little story to narrate our trip better than any old photographs could do.
(Hey Moms...back when I started there I got her a journal. I deemed it the Mother-Daughter journal. We pass it quietly to one another if we have something important to share. Something that might be tricky to talk about or maybe we are feeling shy. It became a wonderful little bonding tool and a great way to express ourselves.)
So there you have it. Old material used to make something new which will lead to something creative and awesome...it's really all about how you look at things. Here's to finding your creative something today and always!!!
(Please be patient with posts for the next several days as we will be traveling to the lovely state of Maine.)
Have fun today (and this weekend). I'll be thinking of you guys "roughing it"
