Get messy.

For NSD, I hosted a Get Messy challenge over at Scrap in style. Basically, I wanted the paint and ink and sprays to fly all over. But really, my whole point was to just let go. I really think that we are our own worst enemy when it comes to creating. I know I have the hardest time just letting go; not agonizing over the placement of every little bead or button, not asking myself if other people will like it, if the magazines will want to publish it, on and on and on. But when I can finally just stop, and be still and listen to what my heart is telling me and place this paper here simply because I like it or place this photo there because it just feels right, then I've got it. And the end result will be beautiful, even if to noone else but me, simply because I made it. And that's enough for me.
