Create Everyday

I love this idea for a "pay it forward" project. This project reuses plastic bags that are made into a sleeping mat for the homeless. My mother and her friends at Country Meadows in Bridgeville, PA work together to make these mats for the homeless.

The rubber duck arrived in Pittsburgh. Check out the article from the Post. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/giant-rubber-ducky-will-get-quacking-here-today-705115/

This is how my blog started... Arts and Crafts has always been a big part of my life. I've helped my children appreciate and enjoy art. I taught children in religious school using crafts. I made gifts, decorated tables and social halls for many events and made things for our home. Knowing how much I like to create, a friend challenged me to make 100 crafts in 100 days and post them on Facebook. I knew I could make 100 creative things but posting them on Facebook was WAY out of my comfort zone. Starting a Blog where only people interested in crafts and recipes could find me was more in my comfort zone. However, this last year I have been doing many things out of my comfort zone and not only have I survived but have grown, changed and love my life even more. I accepted the challenge and posted my first craft on Facebook on 2/22/13. I hope my blog will inspire and challenge you to... CREATE EVERYDAY.

I am living in Los Angeles and getting ready to move back to Wexford, PA. My craft and art supplies are getting packed away and I needed to find a way to still be creative daily. I have taken a photography class and thought taking photographs of beautiful things I see in my last days of LA would be a perfect solution. When I get home I will choose a few of my favorite photographs and frame them. I am starting my photograph session with daisies and tangerines I bought to brighten our apartment.
