Creative outlets...

I admire crafty people...those who scrapbook, quilt, sew, make cool things from scraps of fabric or wood, etc. I am not one of those people. I would love to be able to create something neat but haven't found my niche. When I first got married, mom gave me a sewing machine. I tried, but didn't succeed. I have tried to crochet. I have tried latch hook. I love to read Mary Engelbreit's magazine about all those creative, crafty people. I really admire my SIL's (all of them) and MIL's talent with decorating their homes, they are all very artistic....DH has more of that knack than I do. DD also got that gene and is obsessed with paint...she imagines all the pretty colors each room could be. My mom is talented in all those areas and my sister is a wonderful decorator and gourmet chef (I miss her cooking, we ate well when she was here!). I do love to plant flowers but have no special gift, just plant, water, and pray. Maybe I was blessed with an extra-special gift of changing diapers super-fast! Hey, people have commented on my speedy changes before! Sadly, that is not much of a creative outlet.....
