Well, I don't know that I think of it that way, but other people are fascinated when I do things like make my own arrows. I think of it as "how to get food," they see it as an artistic skill. <br /><br />Blogging has been good for my creativity. I have you and the team from years ago to thank for that, since the challenge is why I made a blog. I have to creatively think of ways to make new posts every month. <br /><br />Unfulfilled dreams are mostly related to writing, publishing, and selling books. I'm working on it!

Therefore, if you’re still dreaming when creative clean-up is complete, we’re all in for more of your infallible inspiration! I look eagerly forward ;-)<br /><br />As you may recall, if not for a chance view of one of your blogs, I might never have considered blogging myself. I’m truly glad I did because blogging is both a creative exercise, and an outlet for sharing.<br /><br />May you find a least a couple forgotten treasures in those closets!<br /><br />diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-39397774024760292542019-02-07T09:26:01.100-08:002019-02-07T09:26:01.100-08:00Birgit, some dreams are fine kept as dreams as lon...Birgit, some dreams are fine kept as dreams as long as they don't get in our way of actual living.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-9354714744604653672019-02-07T09:24:56.928-08:002019-02-07T09:24:56.928-08:00Janet, I think you can achieve that dream.
