Give me 5!

Give Me Five of your favorite drinks.

2. Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks
3. Sweet Tea
4. Dr. Pepper
5. Cappuccino Coffee

Give Me Five of your favorite ways to be crafty or creative.
This one was soo easy for me to come up with, the only problem was stopping at 5!!! lol.

1. Crocheting. I learned to crochet in 2005 and couldn't imagine life w/o it. It is a creative outlet that I can take anywhere. Not only can I get the benefit of creating with my hands, I can make things for others that can last a long time as well and even be handed down from generation to generation and from family to family.
2. Photography. A picture tells a story. Not only the story of the subjects in the photo but also a story of the photographer. You can learn a photographer's style and what interests them by their work.
3. Scrapbooking. I do traditional, digital and hybrid scrapbooking. What a great way to preserve history. Be it personal history or world history, scrapbooking is a way to incorporate many different mediums into one final project.
4. Pixel art. I love drawing on the computer and seeing it be used to decorate other people's emails, websites and even clothes! I had someone pay me to make some graphics into stitched art. That was pretty cool.
5. Polymer Clay Sculpting. Sculpting is one thing I never thought I had in me but was pleasantly surprised at how easily my hands could form these amazing faeries, animals, goblins, etc. What fun I have had with sculpting! I need start more of it!

Some other things I do to feed the creative monster is make homemade papers, soaps, greeting cards, write poetry, garden, play video games, color (yes in a coloring book with the kids), draw, cook and bake.

So, how about you? What crafts and crea-tivities do you enjoy?
