I wanted to wait until both challenges were finished before I announced any winners. Since this was my first time running challenges, there weren’t a lot of people participating. That was to be expected. As I do more and get my name out more, I expect there will be more people participating. Without further delay, […]

This is probably one of the most important things you can do for your creativity. Nobody, not one single other person, can give you permission to be creative. The only person with that power is you.

Welcome to day 5 of 5 Days to Get Out of a Creative Rut! You made it! Today is the last day. How did your walk go yesterday? I need for you to think about it for a minute. What did you see that grabbed your attention? Did you take a picture of it? I […]

I wanted to give you a little heads-up. You will need a few things if you are planning to participate in next week’s challenge. (You are, aren’t you?) These are things you probably already have around the house. #10 envelop or any other envelop you have that you won’t need for anything else. Small odds […]
