it's nothing i had to choose, nothing i really had to learn. i just do and most of the time the result is good. i like the things i do even if i normally can't keep them for myself. if i create something i like i feel the urge to give it away. thing i hang up on my wall or place in my room usually last for a week until i find somebody to give it to. one of my latest joys is the analog photography. since i hand in the films to be developed and they get back with prints i started to hung them up on my wall.
the picture below shows my room in a rather earlier stage so for now its even "worse".
as i have some creative moments i take down the pictures i like and use them for things such as cards, letters or other random things. my latest creation is a bible cover for a friend in america.
i enjoy making things but i am also a person who need creative moments to be creative. i have a hard time doing something if i am not in the mood for it. as work in the last weeks has been anything else except inspiring so i have not been doing anything at all lately. and this is the ironic thing. i need to create things it is part of who i am. if i don't i get moody and all upset but as much as i need to be creative i also need the creative moments and if i don't get them i can't be creative. you get the problem. this is one of the reasons why i have been so painful moody in the last days. as i got some time to finish some projects yesterday and today i am more joyful than i have been in a while but still there is this nagging feeling that i need to create something that just and simply will be good.
on the ship i started to listen to mark driscoll sermons whenever i was creative. i took this habit with me home. so when i am creative it does not only mean i get time for myself but also that i get time with god.
if i am grumpy and moody all i need to do is i have to get some time alone to be creative.
have a great evening

Yes you are creative, since you where young. And I'm glad about it. It's somthing I inherited from my mother and you inherited from me but also it is a gift from God. Sometimes it is a pleasure and sometimes it is a burdon. But I hope and pray, that mostly it is a pleasure for you to be creative- It is one of the greatest presents, we can give our friends, becouse it's more than a gift: it's time, idea, a part of myself... so be blessed and be a blessing.
Big hug Mom =)
