Creative Things

I am addicted to Pinterest. The end. (If you haven't checked out Pinterest yet, you must!)


I am convinced that I would love a life full of being a stay at home mom and "craft making and blogging".  (This ultimately depresses Luke and I as we have spent tens of thousands of dollars on my master's degree.)  The truth is, I'd like to think that I can do it all.  Be a stay at home mom, crafter and blogger and occupational therapist.  I mean, is that too much to ask for?  I love photography, writing, cooking, baking, sewing, scrapbooking, AND providing therapy for people.


There has to be a way for me to be able to do it all right? Maybe not.


But the point is, I'm reminded of how much I miss my crafty side. I feel that school has drained all the creativity out of my bones since I've started this master's program.  In fact, after following other blogs, I'm reminded how boring mine is.  I don't blog "pin it" worthy posts/pictures/ideas.  I just don't.  It's not that I wouldn't like to. It's just that I don't simply have the time....OR I fill that time with other things. 


I love my Wednesdays.  I have the mornings to myself.  Well...to exercise and work on homework.  But being that I got all of my homework for the week caught up (so far) I gave myself this morning to indulge in blogging and reading blogs.  I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  Made a little breakfast, drank a little coffee (ok, maybe a lot of coffee) and watched a little news (nothing of which I found to be news worthy, just depressing). These are the mornings that I think, "I could totally be a blogger/crafter for a living."

So, in leu of feeling crafty this morning, the least I can do is share my favorite blogs with you.


One of my favorite blogs for delicious recipes is How Sweet It Is - you've gotta visit it at least once (but chances are you'll be hooked after that)!  I've also stumbled upon She's (kinda) Crafty - she posts really cute ideas and encourages me to be more crafty myself.  Then there's Papervine with all the "scrapbooky" like things. Way fun! I will try to remember to share blogs with you that I come across that I find worthy of sharing.


Go out there and find your crafty side (or re-ignite) - whichever is appropriate for you!
All in all - have a great Wednesday!


One of my new favorites of Addie and I. Thought I would share. - Thanks Kellie!
