100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 15-21)

I realize I am a little delayed on these days, but I don't think I have that DAILY of a following. So I think I'm okay. Anyway, on to Day 15.

For Day 15 I decided to break out the calligraphy set my husband gave me two birthdays ago. BEST GIFT EVER! It takes a lot of practice, and you have to go super slow.... not my forte. But once you get going it is amazingly easy. It makes you feel like using a quill back in the day with John Hancock. Or is it Herbie Hancock? The world will never know. #tommyboy Anyway, I was just messing around and writing letters, hope you enjoy my #DAY 15







Next, Day 16 I thought I'd give crocheting another go. I ended up using my entire thing of yarn, and it was only big enough to be a scarf (kind of going for a blanket, but the scarf is cute). I still haven't mastered it, and I need to do more research.... And of course PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE #swanprincess. #DAY16




Day 17, this was a busy day. I went to Denver for a self guided Brewery Tour.... So, it was hard to be creative, but I tried a few different attempts to see if something was minorly successful. I took a picture of this really cool flight we got at Cerebral Brewing (most adorable science themed brewery). My attempt at angles... I also was excited for pizza at the end of the night so I made a quick sign to show my enthusiasm #creativitylacking I tried, not every day will be a winner #DAY17




Here's Day 18, I wanted to use my chalk markers some more. These should be used every day of my life. ERASABLE CHALK MARKERS!!! AMAZING!! I wrote one of my favorite quotes, hope you enjoy my #DAY 18



For Day 19 I went on another hike. I know, I'm a hiking machine, and I love it! I also wrote a poem, thought I'd mix it up a bit.

Today I hiked above the clouds.
Nothing could stop me from reaching the sky.
I closed my eyes and tried to fly,
But knew I would surely die.
So, I stayed and wandered in the clouds.
Vowing one day, I'll touch the sky.

So, my poem is about how I was hiking through fog today. It felt mystical and heavenly, because I knew where the clouds were was a drop off of the mountain #terrifying. So, it made me feel like I could just walk through the clouds and escape, but then I thought BUT I DON'T WANT TO ESCAPE MY LIFE! I have weird thoughts while hiking... Anyway, #DAY19






DAY TWENTY!!!!! I have no idea why I wrote that like that.... random. Anyway, I decided to show off my bullet journal. I LOVE THIS THING! It keeps me organized and creative at the same time. I use it everyday, but I just finished a couple pages that really make me smile. Hope you enjoy. Also, my sister said she would buy a calendar where I wrote out the month and days for her... If there is any interest in that, leave a comment. #DAY20









Day 21 I was inspired by this post I saw on Pinterest. It was an M, but it wasn't outlined or colored in or anything. It was just white. Then there was this beautiful picture behind and around it. Flowers, a cat, random, but beautiful. And the M was just perfect. It was super fun, so I thought I'd try with a G. Plus I really enjoy drawing Aspen trees.... so this is what I came up with, enjoy! #DAY21

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 8-14)

Hey Guys, I'm back- and trying to be even more creative than ever. I love hand lettering, and obviously it is what I think I am good at. But I am determined to be more "creative" in my creativity choices. So, for Day 8 I chose to learn to crochet. Sounds easier said than done, right? Well, you are correct. I was quite terrible. I first started with the chain, pretty easy. A little awkward at first, but then relatively easy. Then I had to move to the next level, that's when it got a little sloppy. But then I ended going up another 4 levels and it got better and better each time. Now I just need to learn something other than a single or double stitch.... What do you think of my #DAY8 ? Alright, moving on to Day 9. I thought I would mix my creativity up a little and make some delicious dessert. When it comes to desserts I usually stick with cookies, brownies, and ice cream. That's usually where I stay, and I enjoy it there- don't get me w...
