So after a stressful week during the holiday season, I knew I needed to quit being ba-humbug and get in the holiday spirit…also needing to let go of the week’s stressors! Creativity allows my brain to relax, laugh, and have fun so I went with friends to a Floral Centerpiece Decorating Class. And let me tell you I laughed a lot while trying to construct my masterpiece.
When I got there I saw this and thought ‘what have I gotten myself into?’ I sat next to my friend, Andrea, who is an artist and I knew she would put me to shame! I let Jen (with Love Bug Floral-the instructor) know I am way out of comfort zone.
One stem at a time we put into the Styrofoam. Then Jen told us we needed to cut the carnations with these tools….does she not know I can cook up anything asked but others should be worried when I hold a box cutter! With each stem I slowly eased my mind off of work and relaxed into my childhood creativity. Luckily, I wasn’t the one that cut myself…Kathy did. Ha!
When life stress is at a high, give your mind a break and get with friends for a good laugh. And you may even get to take home a masterpiece to remember the moment!
