What's an RAK?
Oh, I finally figured out why I couldn't log onto your blog. Wrong username. Had to be my email address. Oops! My bad!!!
I love reading your blog and seeing what you've created! I found you from Elise's blog, you did awesome things for the Olympic challenge. I'm thinking about starting my own blog too, major props for keeping yours going! I love this little book you've created- super cute idea and colors!
i agree with you that people take their creative gifts for granted. We, as creative people, use them everyday and forget how difficult it is for some people to even color a disney princess coloring book.
So why do i create?
Sometimes, to feel like i'm a part of something. Sometimes, to organize my thoughts and create something memorable.
And sometimes....cuz i'm just so dang BORED.
what do i get out of it?
everything. creating is everything to me. It's an expression and an extension of who i am.
I just realized that I didn't really answer your 'why do you create' question! I create because it's a release for me, it's a distraction from the world in which I work. I'm going to grad school for a paralegal certificate and everything is very rigid and there is little (like none) room for creativity. I like the outlet, I like using the other side of my brain. I love colors and texture. I scrapbook instead of journaling. I like to show others my work, I am really proud of it, but then I get really shy and scared that others won't like it. So mainly, my art and my scrapbooks are for me. To preserve what I think is important, and to represent me in this stage of my life!
P.s What do you go to school for?
