When I saw the red theme for this month,
I could not even imagine what I was going to do.
Then I was somehow reminded of my "stash".
Back in the day, the kids and I used to craft it up for Valentine's Day.
Eventually, they were over it.
And I suppose I was over the mess.
But today, "red" sounded like a good excuse.
I've purged most of the stash, but I saved a few things that had exceptional potential.
The funny thing is, I had never really enjoyed the creative process
for the photo opportunity that it was.
I mean, of course there were a few pictures,
but mostly there was glitter glue.
I was right there in the moment where I belonged.
I was right there in the moment where I belonged.
So today, I enjoyed the little details.
And wouldn't you know,
Bethany came in and wanted to know what I was doing.
She got to work.
The girl has style all her own I tell you,
with these grown up, capable hands.
She was so fast that she was done before I had barely even noticed.
And then she was off to do her thing.
By the way--our creativity was fueled by these. Because yum. And red.
The Creativity Project is a group of photographers posting monthly according to a theme.
I can't wait to see what the others have posted. They have so much creative energy.
Maybe somebody lives somewhere warm where there are flowers??? A girl can hope.
Maddy is next in the circle. Be sure to go see what she's been up to.
