Our Journey

This blog was started thanks to a Christmas gift from my husband. He and my mother share an amazing gift of being able to choose perfect presents for everyone around them (I'm more than a little envious of this talent, but since I'm a oft pleased recipient, I can't really fuss).

Our motivation was to bring a sense of spontenaity into our creativity and relax our, erm, perfectionist tendencies. I am notorious for trying to attend to every single possible miniscule detail of EVERYTHING... And getting overwhelmed at every turn because there's "So much to do(!!!)". To impose some limitations on myself in order to meet this goal, I'm approaching each prompt by following as closely as possible to my initial inspiration then completing all the blogging from my smartphone. I photo-document the finished item (and process when applicable) with my phone, edit the photo on my phone and write/publish the post from my phone. Easy peasey, lemon squeezee, as my son Noah would say!

At the outset, Noah is the only one who's promised to participate with me on a regular basis. He chose to do a weekly project, though he makes so many little artistic creations, I have a feeling there will be plenty of "extras" to post. I'm guiding him toward seeing and identifying all of his little creations as art so that his concept will expand, which I hope will instill in him a sense of accomplishment.

From time to time, I'll post updates as our journey progresses - you'll be able to access all those posts here or by clicking on the link Our Journeys in the box to the right.

If our project inspires you in any way, we'd love to hear from you and we wish you wonderful, creative thoughts through YOUR journey!
