Creativity & 33 Ways to Stay Creative

Creativity comes in waves, I think it is safe to say we have all experienced those sporadic sparks of new ideas and then there is a time when there is nothing to make, nothing to alter, or nothing to influence.  For someone who loves being creative when you hit those rough spots, it can be a hard place to sit and wait it out.  I came across this list of 33 Ways to Stay Creative, which I found to be extremely helpful when you feel as though you are lacking that creative spark or just when you don't know what's next. 

Our daily photo challenge has really sparked my creativity and I am challenged everyday to produce pictures and images that represent one single word each day.  I like to call it my creative homework.  Not only does it help to make my photography better but it also motivates me to always be looking for something more in the images that I see around me.

Tomorrow I will share with you the rest of the pictures from this month photography challenge.  I get my new list of challenges for the month of February tonight and I am excited to see what my creative homework will be for the next month.

Friday Favorite's - Apology & Photo Challenge

Life takes some unexpected turns sometimes, between the holidays and helping to take care of loved one I have literally had no time to myself (aka my blog).  This blog is the one thing that I do for myself to relax and unwind. 

This past month, some friends of mine have been doing a daily photography challenge.  While sometimes this can be rather time consuming, it has been a rather fun way for all of us to interact with each other and see just how creative one can get.  So with that said my Friday Favorites have to do with this photography challenge, here are a couple of my favorites so far this month.  To see all of them for the month you can follow me on Instagram - tiffers321

Hope all of you have a safe and relaxing weekend, go out and enjoy this beautiful LA weather, which makes you feel like Easter should be right around the corner.
