The boyfriend and I carved pumpkins. I definitely say this is an art. We tried to overachieve and make a Phillies pumpkin..didn’t work out so well. The other 2 we made were just traditional pumpkin faces. I’d say it counts as creative though. We tried. I’m going to learn to be an expert pumpkin carver for sure. 3 years ago

3) I made this BEAUTIFUL journal..i’ll post pictures when i get a chance. I collaged the cover of it..and made different pages inside. I’m hoping this will help me to write in a journal more..because maybe it won’t feel like such a bland, strict journal the way i have it set up.

I thought about this goal some more..and i just thought about the fact that it doesn’t have to be 43 DIFFERENT things..just intentionally do 43 creative things..so if one day I decide to draw..and then 2 days later i decide to draw..that’s ok..it’s still me intentionally being creative. 4 years ago

2) got these cute frames from Target and put pictures in them and arranged them all on some wall space i had next to my bed. Not the most creative thing in the world..but i could have been boring and not done it at all! :) 4 years ago

prior to creating this goal..i just had the goal “be more creative”..very vague. I mean..i am creative daily..with how i dress..things i do randomly..brainstorming an idea..i think creativity happens daily..but i really want to capture these moments and be creative intentionally. i want to create more things.

just because this is very recent i’m going to make it my number 1-

1) For Christmas, I made a 12 days of Christmas thing for my boyfriend bc we were going to be away from each other. He had 12 presents every day up until the 25th. Some of the presents were rather creative..i did a collage of pictures of him and i..and one of pictures of him during his 3 years playing basketball for our college and i printed out writeups of the game that featured something about him. He ended up loving them..and i just love doing something creative and out of the ordinary!

right now i’m just brainstorming different things..

-decorating my room
-creating a creative looking journal (which will help with my goal about journaling more)
-writing (random, with prompts, etc)
-drawing
-photography
-sewing
-knitting
-going to paint and pottery
-joining craftster.com
-painting
-playing an instrument
-create challenges for myself (for example..photograph 43 sunsets..etc) 4 years ago
