One Creative Summer :Getting Messy

 All you need is deep within you

waiting to unfold and reveal itself.

All you have to do is be still

and take time to seek for what is within,

and you will surely find it.

Eileen Caddy

When we are little summer means freedom, a break from routine.

We get to sleep in, stay up late and play outside all day long.

It's afternoons by the pool,

sleepovers with friends

and Midnight Ghost until way past dark.

Oh, if only that is what my summer looked like today.

Just because the weather is warmer doesn't mean we 

don't have responsibilities. And it seems my summer

is busier than ever!

That's why I created One Creative Summer.

It's about finding little pockets of time to feel like a kid again.

Free

Creative

and 

FUN!

You can expect at least three creative ideas/prompts/projects a week through for the next 7 weeks.

I will try and post at least one of the challenges here in my blog...

the rest of them in our FB group Mind.Body.Soul Art Journaling and PIN at the top.

Feel free to SHARE your work with us!!

When life is just too busy yet I NEED to creative

the best thing I know to do is to 

"messy paint" 

my 

way

to PEACE. 

Your art journals are the 

PERFECT place to glue down some papers,

swipe a few of your favorite paints onto

and finish with stencils....

Doodles....

stamps...

and Washi Tape.

The best part of this creative process is the rhythm you create.

Put on your favorite tunes

and 

just

let 

GO. 

No thinking...

just creating.

Take an hour today to get messy.

This is not the time to try something new.

Just do what you KNOW.

 What you LOVE.

"What art offers is space...

a certain breathing room for the spirit."
