Never To Old


***************************************************************************************
Yes, Kathy brought her own tin of crayons....We ARE NEVER TOO OLD FOR CRAYONS, not for the delicious smell of creative wax fresh out of the box, not for the visual bountiful tins of fresh colors (not to mention names - wild strawberry... periwinkle... spring green) and specially, not too old to loose our head over the feel as they slide across the fabric...
We are never too old to enjoy that childlike creativity within us. Never to old to stop learning new things. We are never too old to express those silly, spontaneous urges lurking inside us waiting to get out. Oh, we may hold back at work or in front of others who don't appreciate such things, but with the SoTA Sisters it's safe for us to let go and explore our creativity.
True creativity should be fun and uninhibited. It doesn't impose ridiculous restrictions such as staying ‘within the lines’ or producing perfect works of art. Creativity should be fun and exploratory; messy, and when necessary, left unfinished. The bottom line is... creativity should be enjoyed!
That is what Kathy is doing... the images are printed on by Thimbleberry, and she is coloring them with crayons....de-stress, inspire new ideas and simply have fun... goals of this wonderful group.
I think this picture is so peaceful....Thanks Kathy for make my heart lighter. The Ol' Blogger
