If you’re like me, you get frustrated when you fail to come up with fresh and engaging ideas for your next creative project.  I really like to think of this as being like ‘writer’s block’ – any creative person can also get in a rut and run out of creative ideas.  Lately, I have been in the rut and have been searching for ways to kick-start my creativity again.  You may be curious about what I found at infoandarticles.net – a great site for humanities and crafts. 
 
First I found The Artist’s Way review which I read with amazement and then proceeded to buy the book.  I had been told of this book before but had dismissed it.  I’m satisfied that I’ve now read it as it has utterly changed how I think about creative ability and capacity.  After working my way thru the varied exercises, I discovered some long forgotten interests that when i did them again I gained gigantic delight.  I found myself asking why I had stopped doing those things. 
 
The other surprise from the site was the DVD Rubber Paper Scissors with Judi Watanabe review which also led me to buy and I’m so glad I did.  For people that don’t know, Judi Watanabe is a vet in the rubber stamping industry.  You may have seen her lately on CraftTV doing super scrapbook-related episodes.  For some time now, I had been longing for a total instructional DVD on rubber stamping.  You most probably guessed that I used to be a rubber stamper, but still set in all the old strategies.  It is now time to bring myself up-to-date and this DVD is chock-full of step-by-step instructions to help me.  I also must complement the great video and audio production.
