Creativity is Contagious!
It's 15 past midnight and I just finished making a cute crop top out of a shirt I got a the thrift shop this week. Sarah and I didn't feel up to going out tonight so we watched a few movies and then killed some time on Vine. For those of you who don't know what Vine is, its a social media site that allows people to upload short video clips for others to view, and it quite entertaining! Someone once told me there are two types of people in this world, those who create, and those who admire creativity. After watching video after video, I had a strong urge to get back to my own craft, hence the DIY crop top at 11:00 pm. Sarah was quite content watching videos. I was inspired and needed to channel that overwhelming energy. What I realized, is that creativity is contagious and oh so inspiring. I am thankful for social media for many reasons, but largely because it allows us to share our unique talents with the rest of the world as well as be inspired by others unique talents. What a gift for those of us who have been burdened yet blessed with the creative gene. I say burdened because not everyone realizes there gifts as being advantageous. For instance, when I was in the military I only saw it as a nuisance, always distracting me from what I thought I was supposed to be doing. It wasn't until I really allowed myself to fully indulge in my own creativity, that I realized this is a large part of who I am. Yes I enjoy being intellectually stimulated, but creating is my passion. It is my purpose. It is me. Any who, theres a picture tutorial below for the DIY crop top. I hope you love it :) By the way I got the studded strap from Wal-Mart and used a glue gun to stick it to the pocket. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for tuning in! Goodnight beautiful people!
