It's an amazing video, not only about children and education, but about diversity and tolerance. And understanding. And not understanding.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Who's caught the creativity bug?
Um, well, can you send it over to me next?
I've been threatening to start posting on this blog for weeks. It's supposed to be my outlet for creativity, positive thinking, an occasional vent session, and whatever else comes to mind. So, I sure hope the creativity starts flowing, 'cause my blog here is lonely! :)
Earlier this week, I was surfing on Ellison's and Sizzix's sites with my sister (each of on our respective computers, talking on the phone with one another). I ran across this image on the Ellison site and fell in love with the daisy die cuts.
I HAD to know what they were and where to get them. Through some help from my SBA friends and even Ellison customer service (and some serious detective work on my own), I found out they are on a Thick Cut Die that works with the Big Shot machine from Ellison. Well, then the stars aligned or something, and I was in big trouble.
I decided I had to have the daisy die. I had to have the Big Shot to use the daisy die (plus, what the heck, all my Sizzix dies will work on it, right? Never mind that I haven't used a Sizzix die cut in over a year...) And boy, those Thin Cuts sure are adorable, aren't they?
$200 dollars, a Big Shot machine, a few Thick Cut dies, and a bunch of Thin Cuts later, I started pondering how I'll hide this purchase from my husband. ROFL!
So whoever has the creativity bug, would ya' send it over to me next? I need to do a bunch of creating to prove to my husband that I really need all this stuff (and the tons of stash still sitting in boxes in the garage from last year's move).
Thanks a lot! I'll be looking for that bug!

- The Big Shot works completely with Sizzix dies. I have a TON of Sizzix dies.
- Joann's was having a huge online sale of the Big Cut and Thin and Thick Cut dies.
- I was probably hormonal and needed a big psychological boost because I was just embarking on a heart-healthy diet that has me giving up carbs for two weeks (I hadn't realized how dependent I have become on sugar!!!)

Welcome!
I am hoping that I can use this blog as a creative outlet. That's my goal. To enjoy myself while participating in creative activities and making crafty projects for myself and others.
I will share a bit of my life along the way. I will share a bit of myself. I will have fun. First, last, and always, I will find a way to have fun.
