Everybody has unique tastes and preferences.... thank goodness! What a bore the world would be if it weren't for those differences! When you have an "ah ha" moment with a bead, a design or a color scheme, it's special because it is YOU! <br /><br />Keep dreaming, creating and spreading around the Kristen-Goodness! Becuz it just rocks!!! ;)<br /><br />☺Dawn Doucettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249588677366444337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740494567672324138.post-17731637765808343142011-03-24T14:41:35.010-04:002011-03-24T14:41:35.010-04:00I very much relate to this.

What I have come to realize, what I continue to struggle with, is that you always, always, ALWAYS, have to create from a place of joy for yourself. If you aren't happy with what you're making or if you're making for shows or magazines or money...you will always be sorely disappointed. You have to build and cultivate that well of creativity inside you so that it flows and bubbles almost with an effervescence. If you can do that, the other stuff won't matter. Build and do from the inside out....this is a lesson I am continually having to teach myself. <3Barbara Bechtelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245733527571208892noreply@blogger.com
