As a Graphic Artist, I always put my creative spin on things. I will often paint, sew, and decoupage my way through everything in sight! I love searching for vintage furniture, old doors and fun fixtures. If I see something by the side of the road, you bet I am pulling over to check it out! Thrift stores, tag sales, flea markets...all the next best thing to digging through an attic. Some folks may see it as junk, but I see possibilities!

The Artist, The Boy & The Bathrobe
If you were to ask me how I love to spend my Saturdays, my answer has always been, and will always be;I love to spend Saturdays being creative and relaxing. Today I spent my Saturday enjoying the creativity of my 7 year old son.
He asked to go with me to my shop, sure! Let's go. He wanted to go to the office supply store, so he could find a perfect notebook, I want to use it as my diary he said, sure! We can go. What I was not expecting, was when he said he was ready, to be dressed in his sweatpants, a bathrobe, his coat and boots. When I asked if he was changing, he told me he was going to the store as a super-hero, and the bathrobe was his cape. He even asked if I would only call him by a super-hero name in public, I said sure! So off we went.
Some people may think we were lazy or silly. But I played along and had as much fun as he did. Such fun!
What ever happened to people feeling free to be themselves? There is of course a limit to what is acceptable here, but if we maybe open our minds and try to appreciate the beauty in others, somehow we can capture a glimpse of our own talent .
So go ahead and wear that Tiara if it makes you feel happy! Dance if you want to, sing your heart out and pretend you are the greatest super crafter or superhero ever. Once you are open about celebrating YOU, the rest of the world is sure to notice★
