10 Reasons I Love Creating Art


You know you love creating ART when:

10.
You wipe off the kitchen table very carefully after a meal, not because of impressive housekeeping habits, but because you want the surface clean for the next session with glitter, glue, and scissors.

9. You hurry through your meal so you can get back to creating.


8. Your heart beats a little faster at the sight of well-made, handcrafted items.


7. You spend hours at the bookstore, poring over the latest magazines and art journals until you have read every single issue currently on the newsstands, and must wait not-so-patiently! for the next month's issues to appear.


6. You get so caught up in the process of creating, you forget to (fill in the blank): go to bed, eat, leave for an appointment, make important phone calls, blog, etc.


5. The words "doodle," "hue" and "monochromatic" fill you with JOY.


4. You'd (almost) rather shop for art supplies than for clothes.

3.
You daydream about colors, patterned paper, swirls, twirls, palettes, and all things art in general.

2. The fake gems on the derriere of your jeans start to fall off, you pick them off the floor with excitement, and begin plotting how you will use the "gem" or rhinestone in your next creation.

And the number 1 reason you know you love creating art is (drum roll please):

1. When your hubby and wee one are driving home to be with mommy, and he asks her what does she think mommy will be doing when we get home, her simple, one-word answer says it all:

CRAFTING.
