[Edition One] Self Care Sunday: Craft Therapy

Time to spill the beans…beads…you get my point. Self Care Sunday is a little series I have put together to help you get in touch with your creative side, and accomplish small and meaningful goals to help motivate you for the week to come.

Today I created three Crafts, varying in length of time required, to help you feel creative and motivated going into this week. Crafting takes patience, and a little planning. If something goes wrong it’s okay because it’s art ;)

Art Therapy is a great way to release some tension, and stress. Doing something that is repeatable, allows you to slow your thinking and focus on the task at hand. The rest of world kinda melts away. When painting the coasters, while it took a long time to paint the various layers. I did feel pretty zen.
