My artist friend Sheila invited me to participate in a 30-day Creative Challenge for the month of September. With the beginning of the academic year and a million other demands on my time, of course I couldn’t resist. I needed motivation to take a few moments for creative joy each day.
Throughout the month, I doodled, drew, photographed, wrote poetry and prose and worked on two major creative projects. Here are some of the “little things” from this month’s moments of creative joy.
I “created” a whole lot more than this. I drew or doodled something almost daily [especially sunflowers], but I sent some with letters and notes and didn’t get around to scanning others. The photographs [on my camera] were a bit too overwhelming to tackle after a long and busy Monday, so I took the lazy way out and went with photos shot with my phone.
Not surprisingly, flowers dominated, and I was also a little obsessed with clouds. But did you notice the two bears I drew? I was determined to draw a bear yesterday. My not-so-little one gave me some pointers [he’s really good!], so I think I’ll continue working on bears next month.
That’s it for now. Sleep calls.
If you’d like to check out more art created this month, check out the 30 Days Creative Gathering group on Facebook. The artists are a-maz-ing!
Have [creative] joy!

Who doesn’t love (and need) a good challenge now and then. I love all of them… the photos, the sketches, the whole package. And you even included a couple of my favorite hymns in the mix, too! Thanks for this refreshing pause.

Oh wow. I love all of those. The clouds, the flowers, the doodles and poems. You are clever! (Not the first time I’ve told you that, I’m pretty sure.)
I’m thinking it would be fun to do too.
