Conquering the Cluttered Room

I have a craft room in my home. It's a special place that is painted bright yellow. Kayak Yellow is the actual color name. You can imagine it I'm sure - picture the sun and add a lemon drop. It's deliberately colorful, with the hope of creating inspiration. In addition to the yellow, you'll find lots of red and bright blue.

It doesn't work.

This wonderful room, nicely laid out with all my craft stuff in the right places simply doesn't work. The other detail is that I have a very small home. You probably guessed what's coming next - my glorious little craft room has a nickname. "There"  When we find things that don't have a home, we look at each other and say "throw it in There".

Well, I've reached my breaking point. I want to create stuff, I want to paint, I want to stamp, I want to glue, etc. So...with a few hours of love this past weekend, we found the craft room once again.

I'm telling you this to inspire you to "find that lost room" that you've buried and also so you will hold me accountable. My goal is to post a photo of one of my paintings by the end of the month. I've never really painted anything before, so it's just going to be some random expression that happens to use paint. I didn't want you expecting an exhilarating watercolor or anything like that.

One More Thing...

What inspires you?  Is it a dream or a room?  Is it buried?  Can you dig it out?

Take care, and I'm always here to pray for you or simply to connect with.
