My creativity here and now and then....

For me, my creativity came at a time when I was in some serious turmoil in my life, actually, I should say it blossomed. I've always been creative, I am definitely my mother's daughter. Growing up my favorite class was art... the one thing that's always held me back was that silly little thing called self esteem... I never felt I could do anything that was worthy of showing off or being admired. Then I realized, I have to do it for me, that I mattered, and that I was worthy. Finally, in 2003 I took that big step and started scrapbooking again.... not just putting pictures on paper, really doing something with it.... and bam! I started making cards for friends and family, and the smiles on their faces were worth a million.
