Welcome to my brain child, Dear Creative Mama! As I am currently a stay at home mom, aspiring to stay home with my precious little girl, Ellie. I am starting this blog as means to help me discover what I can do from home and to help my creative juices escape.
I have been home with Ellie since the day she was born and I feel very lucky to have had this opportunity. Even though many things have not gone my way since her birth, I believe everything happens for a reason. Ellie was born March 3, 2009. She has been an absolute joy, my life has changed so much. My husband and I couldn't be happier.
A little about my background, before Ellie, I was a design director for a company that distributes veterinary products. I always felt held back in the corporate world, and I've always wanted to do something that would help other people and let me express my creativity. I have a passion for being creative and I hope this site can help me free some of that creativity! I am an aspiring photographer, (I have thousands of photos of Ellie from her first 5 months of life) a graphic designer, a runner, a triathlete, I love the outdoors, I love planning parties and events, I love cooking and appreciate good food from all cultures. I could go on and on about myself, but I'll have to leave some of the suspense for future posts.
Ideally, I would like this site to be used as a means of helping other Mommies (or Dads, future Mommies, babysitters, Aunts, Grandmothers, or anyone really) be creative, and to answer any questions that I can! I am by no means a professional, and can only give you my opinion or ideas about things, but to have another opinion can only help right? You can take it or leave it. So anyone have any topic suggestions or questions?
So thank you in advance to anyone who can help me on this journey to creativity! The sky is the limit. I can't wait to get started.

What a great idea! I'm not even remotely craft-capable. So if your ideas end up being something I can manage, then you'll know you're really on to something!
ReplyDeleteAnd here's an idea - maybe you should start a company where you provide arts & crafts services - like making handprint keepsakes or something like that!
Dear Creative Mama,
ReplyDeleteCan you think of a creatively clever way of storing children's artwork? We have 3 long strings and clothes pins on their wall, but my daughter is prolific in her artwork, and really doesn't want to part with anything. It's a volume problem.
No room on the wall,
LHO
This is fantastic! I am so happy and proud of you! It is a beautiful page :)
ReplyDeleteDear Creative Mama,
ReplyDeleteI have tons of pics uploaded on my computer and wanted to start a scrapbook for my girls first year. I have looked into digital scrap booking but I am overwhelmed with all of the choices. I'm trying to figure out which ones are the best quality and bang for your buck but its hard since I can't get them in my hands. Do you have any suggestions?
PS- I am not found of some of the ones I have seen at our local print shop as the quality is very poor.
