Since I love it so much, I utilize all my spare time to work on it. However, I have a 2 year old and a 6 week old, so spare time is precious. In order for the time to count as spare time, both babies must be sleeping (I won't sacrifice being in the moment with them for my passion), the house must be cleaned, and my schoolwork must be done. <br /><br />Some days I find 2 or 3 hours to work on my photographs, other days I have 30 minutes. For me, it's not about finding the time, but rather prioritizing my schedule so that I don't invest too much time into it at the expense of other important parts of my life. <br /><br />It's all about balance.Shonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439763042384558570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113902182933280081.post-28876497717566729932011-09-10T13:11:46.512-05:002011-09-10T13:11:46.512-05:00Beautiful!

One, I always have my camera and journal with me so I can take advanatage of little snipits of time. Two, I have started haveing a 2 hour "whitespace" time on Saturday mornings. I get up at 5:30 and have my private devotions and then I take my Bible, a journal, and my camera and I hit the road. This morning, I got some beautiful sunrise shots. The third thing I have started doing is on Sunday afternoon's I have given up my naps. I have time blocked out to study photography and time blocked out for creativity. I actually write "creativity" in that time slot in my planner on Sundays. I can use that time to scrapbook, blog, take pictures, bake, make something crafty, whatever. That's it! Thanks for the opportunity to share, and thanks for sharing your creativity! Have a blessed weekend!Stephani Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454344843360038702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113902182933280081.post-59026066889354820342011-09-10T11:38:07.895-05:002011-09-10T11:38:07.895-05:00oh my goodness--SO GORGEOUS!!!!!

YES indeed! Also - love...God = a creative genius? YES indeed! Also - love photos of flowers from the underside -- just saying. The sky makes an awesome background. Gorgeous photos. Love the PINKED one.<br /><br />About making time to be creative... When I was young, someone once said to me that "you always find time to do the things you love." When I was young - I think that was true, however, often doing things I loved came at the expense of giving up something I should've done (if I had been more responsible). As you age, and (in theory) become more responsible, it becomes (has for me) harder to "make" time for the fun stuff -- which often includes creativity. Sometimes I just have to "play the SELFISH(?) card," and take some time for me -- letting everything else just WAIT.<br /><br />How's that for a convoluted answer? =) ~SallySally @DrinkingFromMySaucerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852430785247119538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113902182933280081.post-32583258461395043542011-09-09T08:22:32.749-05:002011-09-09T08:22:32.749-05:00Yes it is.
