Besides writing and poetry, I enjoy crafting and creating.
One of my favorites is decorating sprayed tree branches
for any occasion. Click on photo for a closer viewing.
Spirit Of Creativity.
The Spirit of creativity dwells within you and me, from our creator, who formed the heavens, earth, and sea. Whose visions came to pass, and as he spoke, they came to be.
Creativity fills our minds, endless possibilities begin, felt deep within our hearts, our creations rises from within. It begins to surface, and our hands begin to form, creativity within us becomes alive and is born.
To believe that there is no limit, your creativity begins to soar, above mountain tops into the heavens, deeply into depths, never explored. To create is like having a key, that opens prison doors, and sets a spirit free.
Free from hurt, sadness, and pain, creativity can bring healing from deep within. Whether through, poetry, or words of hope and encouragement, creativity is God's treasured gift which is heaven sent.
Creativity through music, dance and song, through art, stories, and books, even creating a cozy home. We need to share them all, and not keep it to our self, it's a blessing the Lord gives us to share with somebody else.
Remember to give give God the glory, for we can do nothing without him. Celebrate each talent, and gift, by thanking and praising him.

I am inspired to CREATE!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. When you make your creations, don't you just marvel at the colors and textures that God created? Thank you and have a blessed Sunday!
I love the tree. You have been given a wonderful gift.
I've never been very creative when it comes to making crafts. When someone says let do a craft, I start to hyperventilate.:)
Your creative efforts always make me smile.
Lori, you should have shared this post on Pink Saturday! You do some beautiful work. Have a Great God day today.
It is all about what GOD is doing within our heart and soul. I love when HE creates through me.
Blessings, andrea
You are beautifully creative, love you.
What a wonderful talent He had given you sister! Those masterpieces are cool! If I get that kind of nice looking bouquet, I think it would be hard for me to eat those candies 'coz it's just to nice to be eaten :) God bless you.
I'm so thankful that the creator of everything gave us his created the ability to create as well. There is such satisfaction in creating. You certainly got your share of "creatability" if there is such a word. Thank you for sharing your creations.

Excellent post. Thank you.
I know the Lord gave me a gift,I'm just trying to find it. Your tree and Candy bouquets are pretty also.
God Bless,
Ginger
Your creations are beautiful. God has really blessed you with such wonderful gifts.
When I was "much, much" younger I did a lot of crafting but I just can't do it anymore. I guess that's why I love blogging so much.
I guess we change as the seasons in our lives change.
Be sure to visit my blog. You might be interested in knowing what I've posted.

Wonderful thoughts about the creative spirit! Thanks for letting that flow through you!
Wow, you are really creative, my sister! I love your tree and candy surprises. And what you wrote is just wonderful. Thank you. Love and Hugs ~
Oh how I LOVED this post!!
Your tree is so cute... just made me smile and oh so happy!!
I won a giveaway from Barefoot Primitives and just tweeted that I'm diggin thru fabric and my creative juices are now flowing, then saw your post about being creative.
GOD THING! ;) THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR GIVING CREATIVITY!! YOU ARE THE GREATEST CREATOR OF ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHOOhOoOOO
Love ya Lorie!
Wise words and thoughts! Hope your health is fine!
I used to think that I was not creative but then changed my thinking when I began to go deeper in the Lord. He showed me the talents and gifts he had put within me. I may not be like Jill or Dick but in me is something worth celebrating.
Thank you so much for the reminder today. Sometimes when I am behind on things I tend to feel like I've lost sight and the creative juices are only flowing a drop at a time. Thanks for the reminder and the renewed motivation I feel.
Hello Lorie,
I am a lover of crafting too and I have often sprayed tree branches to decorate! Love your candy baskets too. You are lovely Lorie, inside and out. God is so wonderful to have made us all so unique. We each have been blessed with gifts and talents that we can use to bless others with and show the love of our Lord through. Hope you have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Just stopped by to see how your doing. Hope everything is well with you.
Luv u,

Lori, thank you for leaving a comment on WTW, so I could follow you here and be blessed by your gift of writing.
Your blog is wonderful. I love the soft music and your poetry is moving.
I'd like to explore an idea with you. Would you mind emailing me so we can communicate that way. Hope we can chat soon.
Blessings, sister!

Oh I love your beautiful creations Lorie! From one creative heart to another giving ALL the Glory to God! I love that He instilled His Spirit of Creativity in us and in so many different forms.
Best wishes in the give-away!
Love you my friend!
Lorie, How true your words are. Made in God's image we were created to create and I think when we don't we will feel a void in our lives.
And the interesting thing is no one creates alike-when we truly express ourself-it is unique and beautiful and honors our Creator.

These are beautiful, Lorie!
If you have time, stop by....I need a favor!
I love God's creativity. I love that He imparted that into His people. I love you too girl.
Hi Lori! I love your post about creating and sharing this God given gift with others. I blogged about that very same thing last Saturday and called it "Show Some Creativity Saturdays". I became brave and showed some of my artwork on that post and am planning to do this same thing on all Saturdays until I run out of creations!! Hopefully, that won't happen. I would love it if other creators like yourself would check it out and leave a comment so others could click on your name and pop over to your blog and see the creations you have made too. It would be awesome to encourage some other in the closet creators to come out of the closet and shine for the Lord in this way.
I always enjoy reading your blog. It is so uplifting and peaceful.

What a fun idea! There is a lot of time & love put into such a gift!
A pink tree . . . wonderful creation. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. All that we have, all that we are, and all that we do come from one place, you're right. When we share "all," we increase the meaning of "blessed." Thanks for increasing me each time I visit.
No wonder your blog is so beautiful! These are all so gorgeous, but I particularly like the idea of those trees. I would love to see your house during the holidays!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll definitely be back to read more of yours, too. Gosh, I love that tree! :)
HI Lori,
what a beautfiul post and your sweet tree is just lovely! Thank you for your uplifting words on my blog! I pray your health is well this day and your heart is encouraged!
