The Wednesday Word

A new challenge. For me. And my friend Jenn. And YOU, if you want to play along.  You see, Jenn and I both agree that we need "inspiration" to keep our creative juices flowing.  But sometimes that really is easier said than done.  

Sometimes we get so caught up in all the 

Pinterest Pins, Blog Posts and Flickr Fotos, 

that we just lose sight of what we truly love to do. 

Create.  

And this is not limited to one particular medium.  

As much as I love to create invitations, stationery and note cards, I

 like to get my hands messy too.  

I NEED to....

play with felt

burn my fingers on the hot glue gun

get glitter in my hair

spray paint something

cut up paper

use buttons on things other than clothing

find treasures in the hardware store

have fabulous fabric even though I don't sew

use twigs for decor

tie ribbons

...and make a general mess.  

All in the name of CREATIVITY. 

So, in order to keep these creative juices flowing, we nominated Fancy Nancy (aka: my mom) to give us a word each week around which we are to CREATE "something".  

For me, it may be a stationery collection, but it could also be something fun and useless, a new recipe, a photograph, whatever!  Jenn has an endless supply of vision and imagination, so she will probably create something a-mazing each week.  

But, it's not a contest- it's simply a way of inspiring each other and seeing what we come up with. 

We'll post the word here each Wednesday and also show you our creations from the previous week.  

Wanna play?  

This week's Word is Butterfly. 

Take our word queue and see what YOU can create.  

We would LOVE to see it...simply link your project below!
