Crafty Tuesday: Permission to be silly is given

I agreed to be part of a holiday card exchange that I have participated in before because they were a few players short and I had a reputation for getting cards out in a timely manner and picking up the slack for others who drop the ball (yes, I know I am mixing my metaphors). So in short order I found myself having to figure out what to do for the exchange.

I thought my way through it and then got a giggle at a thought for the card which I will be posting next week so the cards I have sent have a chance to reach their destination.

There are times I have to remind myself that silly is allowed. That the serious work of art can take on a whimsical form. Something that makes someone else smile is as good as something that makes one think at time especially in times like now.

So I give y’all and myself permission to be silly because I think we can all use a little silly now.

What amuses you? What makes you smile and shake your head a bit because you can’t believe that you are smiling?

I am going to make a couple of puppets that I want to make for no other reason than it makes me smile at the idea of the puppet. And I know that if I walk around with them, others will get that goofy look on their faces and will be amused.

I have decided that this next year is my year to be silly. To try out my weird ideas and see what works and what doesn’t.

I think we need more silly right now.

I am grateful for ideas that make me smile.
