A few weeks ago I was shopping online with one of my favorite website and came across these cute little boxes. I was not sure what would go in them, but I was attracted to buy 8 of them. The Boxes arrived today and first thing i did was try putting things inside yet the boxes were not ideal for what I was putting in them. So I put some away and kept one on my desk and came back to it. My mind wanders with ideas and it had not stopped doing over time with wandering why and or what would I do with all these little boxes. A blink of a eye it hit me. I had little mini turtles I was doing so I put on in the box and it was the perfect fit. Next was the turtles needed to be different to the ones I'm doing with stands. I started to get creative, get the acrylic paint, glue the design of the turtle and started working on it making it come alive. Now these boxes are clear view you can see both sides. so my turtles needed to be in full view. What could I do to make them come with that wow factor. I decided to cover both sides. I went through my ribbons and placed ribbons on the turtle. Now the favorite bit name the product. Capture of time turtle box and I also had sea horse so I did that one and put it in a different color box. Called Capture of time Sea Horse. Sometimes we buy things without knowing the reasons but when you are free mind we start to explore our creativity. I'm so thrilled to now put these products up to sell. Let those ideas flow from the imagination.

Have you ever heard the saying a perfect gift does not need to be expensive but a gift of love. Some people may agree or disagree with me, but I feel there is nothing called perfect, whether it is a gift, person, personality. If the world was perfect it would be boring without the differences. What makes the ideal gift would be better to say. The ideal gift is something that would bring a smile, memory, face expression or the gesture of appreciation. Craft gifts that are different and unique are another way of giving something that has everything, that is hard to buy for. It's great knowing that not everyone has the same thing out of a mass production. The gift was considered with designing, care, thoughts and imagination. Knowing the Artist has seen this picture in their mind before the creation is even made. The perfect ideal gift is something that is made out of love and thoughtful planning, affordable and will bring that magical acceptance of knowing it will be treasured. There are so many holidays and celebrations coming up, such as Christmas, Valentines, Baby Showers, Thank you, Friendship Day, Mother's Day, no matter what kind of celebration everyone loves surprises. What makes our gifts so special. It's done with care because of the small beads, stamps, color schemes to make sure it matches. The position of the craft items around the product. Ensure the Glue dries in place. The selected lace that is different and not brought from mass production. Thinking out of the square box on how can my crafts be different. There is no right or wrong answer. If you are going to try and make your own fantastic. Be proud of what you make remember Artists are the their worse critics even though it's beautiful. Practice makes perfect do not give up, if it's not something you feel that drive, passion, love in it, look at a different direction. Art and craft gifts are different types of styles it's just finding the right style for you. Select what you want to present to those who may be getting your products. It has taken me a long way of thinking of the products I wanted to do. I went through different arts to feel this type of passion and when I'm making my products. I go into a different type of creation world that in my mind I can see the vision until it is completely finished. There is no perfect gift. It's a gift of giving, caring and knowing the effect on others.

How many of us have started with a vision of a product, vision or a dream and can feel of the success. I have read about so many that sometimes being overwhelmed with ideas can actually set you back wandering what you need to do to proceed. I can only express what I do and hope it may help others and try some of the helpful tips that have got me through. Lets first start off with what is Overwhelmed mean to you. Understanding the feeling will be the first important thing to know. It's like a road block not knowing what direction to turn in ideas. The ideas are rushing in fast and feeling of not knowing where to start. Does that sound like you? Being in this type of situation the last thing you want someone to say take a deep breathe and just take it slow. What do they know. They don't have your experiences. The important thing is to take feedback in your ideas and advice. You are taking feedback from someone that may not know you or they style. Everyone has different tastes in styles, colors, designs, etc. Being a successful Artist or creator, you need to understand the insight of others. Don't get upset if someone says something you don't want to hear. Take it on board, work on it and improve it. That doesn't mean do exactly what they are telling you do. You are you, creator someone with your own style, you want to share your express of your passion. Sometimes when you take on too much to fast. You will get overwhelmed even if you feel you wont. You just don't know. So listen to your inner self. Take breaks. Go for little walks sometimes you little issues have solutions have a different area to think. It's very normal for people to have blocks that they cant think of what they need to do or no matter what you do it's not working. Creating a vision, product or dream to reality. Have fun doing it. Don't allow it to overrule your lifestyle where you cant have a laugh if a color doesn't match. Experiment with designs, colors don't be worried to jump out of the square box. That's how things happen. Let the Creativity come alive, Express yourself. Don't be too hard on yourself if your artist flair is not working. Cut down on things that are holding you back, do one thing at a time. Do a diary and list the things that are important to make it happen and follow it. Don't be over concerned if you don't do everything on that day. Share your visions, let that imagination flow.
