Let's Try This





So for the past year or so I felt like I had lost all sense of creativity. I mean I have always been able to do something creative, but I seemed to have lost it along the way. I have tried to get it back, crochet, writing in a journal, photography and still nothing. So when I saw the link for The Sketchbook Challenge I thought why not maybe this was the right thing to get my  creativity going again. So not wanting to set myself up for failure I just bought a lined journal at the drug store. I didn't want the pressure of a real sketch book I guess. So on January 1, 2011 I started the challenge and love it. I think it is bringing me write back to when I was a kid and I used to sit in a lawn chair in our yard and draw. Believe me when I say I am by no means an artist, I have never seen myself as a person that could draw, but this is really helping me get my creative ideas flowing. so for the next year I will be posting my sketches (beautiful or not). Thanks for following my journey back to creativity, I hope it is not to painful to watch. The Sketch book Journal's theme for January is Highly Prized. To me that is Time. Time for family, friends, work and me.
