It’s free printable wednesday.

In addition to a little something from me to you that you can print at home and hang on your wall (if you so choose).  You get to hear a story about my life.   Or you can just print it and not read any of it.  Thats cool too. I do not consider myself an artist.

I have many friends who are.  I would allow it to be said that I am a creative person.  In the way, that I like to create things.  I’m realizing more and more that everyone who is creative, goes through highs and lows.  And the lows are like, über, intense.  Like…”what am I even doing with this? why do i make things? no one even likes it.  i should just quit.” One of my favorite artists and a little lady who I really admire, just posted something to this nature and I thought to myself.  Holy crap.  If I had that much talent I would NEVER think that about me.  But, that’s not true.

It’s the creatives curse.  To feel the lows and appreciate the highs and to make something out of it.  Any opportunity to get crafty right?  We feel things, we build things, we tear those things down, and build atop the rubble again, in the hopes of being better for it. It’s hard in this time.  With all of the great ways we have to share the work that we do, we also have a lot of ways to see how people are (quite literally) millions of “followers” ahead of us.  Which, the people who are there, probably started in this very same place YEARS ago…yes…years.  And I’m positive that even the most famous of bloggers/diy-ers…cough cough…A Beautiful Mess…cough cough.  Still have moments where they doubt, or worry, or feel uninspired.  Knowing this is, actually, sort of encouraging.

That we aren’t alone in our doubt, yet everyone keeps going…right? To that we say to each other.  Go Get Em!  We can do this, and even if no one likes what we do (which is probably not true) we get to make things with our hands.  We get to create something, anything.  Lets find out what we can do!
