Creative me!

The explanation mark in the title is because I am always surprised when people comment on how creative I am! It's strange because I really really love most creative things (crochet, scrapbooking and card-making, playing the saxophone, drawing, painting, interior design, fashion, photography, writing, even organising such things as fitness programs and other goal-oriented pursuits) yet I struggle to think of myself as a creative person.

Today I went to a baby shower (which also turned out to be a tuppaware party...yes, I couldn't resist and ordered a few things!). My gift was about as creative as they come...I had crocheted the baby boy a little rug...

...made a card for the parents...

...and wrapped it all up in wrapping paper I lovingly stamped with a blue hearts background repeated to look seamless. I did also include a toy for the bub but, as that wasn't made by me, I won't dwell on that. ha ha

An old friend of mine, questioned on what he thought my ideal job would be, surprised me and said an architect. While this may be a far cry from psychology (which I know I will also enjoy once working in the field), I don't think I realised at the time just how well he knew me...I think he would have called me a creative person!
