Make Big With 3 Creative Ideas To Find Joy And Happiness In Creating.

Hi, Creative Friends-

“In the era of handshakes and headshakes, I prefer milkshakes.” ~ Unknown

The end of summer is drawing near and it’s time to get big! Let’s blow out the remaining summer days of everyone’s favorite season in a BIG way.

This week, here are 3 BIG creative ideas, to find joy & happiness in creating…

  1. Shake It Up: Creating in the kitchen is a great way to dream up BIG ideas. Right now, Zeal Grass Milk Creamery is sponsoring “The Great American Milkshake Competition.” Get a team together and dream up the ultimate ooey-gooey milkshake. Make BIG flavors come alive and enter your concoction here at Zeal Grass Milk Creamery The Great American Milkshake Competition. My daughter and I had an awesome afternoon planning out and whipping up our secret milkshake and the recipe can be found here: The Ultimate Apple Pie Milkshake For bigger inspiration watch “Ben & Jerry’s Clash of the Cones” show on The Food Network to see how joy and happiness can come from creating different ice cream flavors.

  2. Greetings For Fall Y’all: The cool days and big, bulky sweater season is almost here. Get a BIG jump on greeting fall with this “Happy Fall Y’all” art print and other fine gifts such as this beautiful autumn leaf-inspired wrapping paper from Society 6. These lovely artifacts will spread joyful greetings and happiness in a BIG way.

  3. Breaking Big: It’s usually easier to start small and get BIG but sometimes it’s better to start BIG and get small! The incredibly talented artist Rebecca Green breaks down her bigger process in her blog “My Blank Paper” where she talks about colors, steps, and thoughts on creating. Rebecca has even teamed up with Holbien to create an Arcylca Gouache set that is absolutely stunning! This paint set is a limited edition so purchase it while you can Creative Friends and let BIG make ideas that invite in joy and happiness.

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or what BIG milkshakes you have planned.
