Welcome Here!

Welcome to my creativity blog! This is my new place to document the artsy and creative things I do, with my free time.

[ The Reason for “Artist’s Temperament” ]

Whenever my mom wanted me to make, paint, or really do anything, I would always mope around, dragging my feet, even for things I really enjoyed! I just had to be in the right mood (this went for anything from painting, to crafting, to cleaning my room, to homework). So Mom would complain about my “artist’s temperament”. And when the mood would strike, I would suddenly become a whirlwind of activity, rushing from one project to the next! Mom would take advantage of these moments and heap projects on me, “I need a vase panted for so-and-so’s gift! Do it now while you’re artist’s temperament holds out!”

So that’s why I chose this name, because it’s all up to my fickle artist’s temperament whether I do or make anything!

I’d started thinking about starting this blog a few months ago when I was visiting a former co-worker, we were discussing the things I’d mailed or created recently, and she encouraged me to keep a blog of it all. I told her I wasn’t sure if I’d actually keep up with it, but I guess I might as well try! (we’ll see if the temperament holds out ;-)

[ What You’ll Find Here ]

A few months ago I decided that my new hobby would be to send fun things in the mail to my friends, you’ll find those crazy antics under the “Postage” tab above. (this one’s important, I almost centered the whole blog around my mail art, but figured it’d be more fun to include the other things I do J )

Soon you’ll see a “Kiddies” tab, (I need an actual post before I can make a tab, so when I have something, this is where it will be) being a nanny of two (ages 2 and 8), and a devoted camp counselor I figure there’s more than enough going on creative wise to warrant it’s own category.

There's also a tab called “Pinterest-ed”, that’s where I plan to post the things I create that I found on Pinterest (I’ll include the site where I found the project, as well as pics of my own finished product, we’ll see how they match up!)

Up there you’ll also find links to my own Pinterest boards, and the Facebook page of my little painting business, Delightfully Yours (custom painted ornaments or whatever else).

Mainly, I want to use this blog as motivation of sorts, I’m often in the mood to be creative, and it’s always fun to share the creations :-) And perhaps my creative endeavors can encourage you in yours!

So that’s my blog…now lets get creating!
