Christmas Cram

I have been "cramming" for Christmas. in other words, trying to finish up all the creative gifts for family & friends that I have been working on over the last few months. I am down to the last 2 weeks and have not completed one project to my total satisfaction. I keep thinking up new ideas, changing, adding. I dream big and at times this can be daunting under a time restraint. Today may be the day I am able to put my "FINISHED" stamp of approval on a gift.


This year has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, but at the end of the day, I still want to get on the roller coaster. Being out of work has made me look at my life in a different light. I have faith & desire to figure out a way to live a creative life in conjunction with making a living. However, I am convinced that these two do not necessarily need to be one in the same. Creativity can not be forced nor should it be duplicated over & over in mass production to make a buck.
