I am not very creative. Outside of writing and occasionally design-y type stuff, I’ve got nothin’ in the way of a creative gene. Case in point, my lack of inspiration for a Halloween costume this year.
But one of the creative things I like are personalized, homemade gifts people make, for birthdays and Christmas. Last year, my sisters and I went to a place nearby where you can paint your own pottery and made plates for my mom that we each painted our own way. It took about an hour or so and when we gave the plates to her Christmas Day, she was really happy with them and touched by them and they made her cry – in a good way, always a good sign.
