Monday's Muse - Kudos to Creative Moms

There’s a woman at the beginning of all great things.

There is an abundance of creative people "out there" & oodles of Mom's so the combo is only natural. Some are on my blog list - please visit if you have the time. I've met many wonderful creative ladies on Etsy , ZNE & in blogland. The question "how do you do it all?" comes up a lot. (Though lists & babysitters are suggested, caffeine & late nights seem to be the most popular responses). Tips are shared on topics from Pink-eye to Polaroid Transfers. The advice to "get some rest...take some time for yourself..." is often heard & given.

I just want to say Kudos to all you generous Moms! Now here's a chance to get something for yourself! Kristine of CelticKnot.etsy.com has kindly donated 2 pairs of her Origami Lucky Star Earrings in the winner's choice of colors!
1 random winner will be drawn on Valentine's Day. To enter this giveaway just leave a comment here by Saturday at noon EST. (& no you don't have to be a Mom to enter)

Couple of other Creative Mom notes today. The documentary Who Does She Think She Is? looks very cool - hope it comes to my town!

Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself. - Berenice Abbott
