Climbing mountains

I saw recently that @inlove_withlifehub has a themed tag called little things.

I love that idea. We get so hooked on the big things, but forget how little things can help us. In tough times those little things have got me through - lying in my bed at night in boarding school listening to my little radio, feeling the power of the ocean on a sunny day, talking to my dog as a kid and now, feeling the sunshine on my skin in winter while sipping a cuppa after completing chores. Filling my little squares and finding new ways to create and push myself is also a massive way to help me through. What are your ways of getting through life that doesn’t cost a lot and that fills your cup?


The  #2021_creativegrowth posts this month for the ‘mountains’ theme also helped to fill  my cup.


The mountains called Laura @laurariverwilson - who found that being up a mountain and seeing how the land lies, is so uplifting.


The Colorado mountains beckoned Ann @ald65walks who always lifts our moods with her kind words and stunning photographs (have a look at Ann’s feed for her new tags and join in!)



Marilou @mariloucadizmarshall reached the top of one of her creative mountains and was  published in the Somerset Studio Magazine Fall issue by Stampington. And there are doodle pages too. Well done Marilou!  



Bubana @bubanahavajima has upside-down cone mountains filled with wonderful summer fruits.




Thank you for your lovely contributions and hope you’ll continue to join in with the next one! 


And that brings me to this month’s #2021_creativegrowth theme - which is open to many interpretations and is ‘seasons’. 




How will you artistically represent ‘seasons’? What approach will you take … will it be


Seasons of your life?  

A change in seasons? 

Condiments for your food?  


What materials will you use? Paints, pencils, charcoal, flowers or your camera and artistic eye?


I’d love to see what you do for this month’s theme! So have a lovely month and as our seasons change and our pandemic persists, take care out there.
