A Little Bit About Me~ The Person behind Creative Twenty8

First, I am soooooo glad you are here!! Welcome to Creative Twenty8!n

MY STORY

nI have always been creative. My awesome family realized early on in my life that I loved drawing, creating, and making up crazy stories. They didn’t stop me; but instead encouraged me to use all the crazy talents God gifted me! (Thank you Mom, Dad, and grandparents! You are the best of the best!!) I remember doodling in all kinds of books or on whatever scrap paper I could find. I sat with my grandmother in the floor and colored for hours. My other grandmother had a chest that sat in front of a window that served as my painting space. It didn’t get any better than sitting by the window in my own little world of imagination. My far-fetched stories of frogs taking over the yard or worms that turned out to be huge black snakes became entertainment for everyone. A favorite gift that I received one year was literally a shoe box full of buttons, old jewelry, beads and thread. That little box kept me intrigued for hours because I could take those simple things and create whatever I could come up with!nnLike everyone else, I have struggled to find my calling in life. I have always wanted to help people and I love to do so in any form or fashion. I hope you do too! People need one another and they need the love from others to keep them going. Life can suck the real joy out of you if you are not careful. I noticed that my joy kept getting smaller and smaller and that happy inside was shriveling up. I was not going to let that happen. Holding that 40 hour job, being the wife and mom and everything else that everyone needed left me with nothing for myself. I had to find a happy medium and what I was doing wasn’t working.nnWhat did I do? I worked my hiney off to find something that kept me creative, kept me with my family, and kept me busy! I love to be busy and I stink at down time. In other words, being still is not my gift! I had a goal of making a space for people who love all levels of being creative. I want to help others find their creativity, keep it going, and use those awesome talents for helping or showing love to others!! It can be the best of the best because life is truly what you make of it! I figured out how to run my schedule to be where I needed to be and still find time for me and all my crazy ideas. You have no idea how excited that makes me! So now I want to share some fun I am having along the way. Hopefully you enjoy what you find here and maybe, just maybe, I can spread a little joy in your day. Use those talents and never ever be afraid to think the way you think and be creative the way God made you!!!nnBless you all and let’s get to work!nnTiffanynncreativetwentyeight.com
