A Rock!
Patsy has always been drawn to rocks. Smooth rocks are the best.
The girls had a mother – daughter date to the studio for some special time together. As seasoned creators they dove right into their crafty process and two became collectors of all things natural for a series of bird houses they were making. As things progressed they realized the houses needed birdies and Patsy had an idea! She could incorporate her love of rocks here. She had been eying some materials that inspired her so she went with it. The result is the sweetest little bird on a perch. I just wanted to take it home!

Socks are one of the best materials to create with at the studio when it comes to making favorite characters from movies. Since they are usually soft and squishy too they often allow for cuddling when the creative process is done so creative play becomes the next level in a creative adventure.
Elena, like most kids these days, loves the movie Frozen. She even knows all the songs so it’s no surprise that she would find herself creating the endearing snowman, Olaf . She and her mom crafted every detail right down to his lone tooth when all was said and done. What a great afternoon they had making their happy sock creation and what memories they will keep about their special afternoon creating together.

Thousand Oaks Arbor / Earth Day fun
Sunday, April 6, 2014
What a great event this was!
Being amidst a buzz of ecological mindedness that permeated every city activity, vendor booth and attending guest was inspiring. We had such fun with our PAUSE4Kids friend and founder Keri Bowers and all the PAUSE gang as we teamed up to provide all kinds of crafty fun for everyone!
CReATE’s specialties of the day were water bottle sun catchers and revamped ceramic camera banks donated by our friends at Wendy Lou Accessories.
As a friend once told me “We don’t own the earth, we are just the caregivers for the next generation” (unknown)
How true that is. Participating in activities and events that encourage our stewardship for Mother Earth help us help our future and our future’s future.
Arbor/Earth Day tomorrow
Saturday, April 5, 2014Join us at the 2014 Arbor / Earth Day tomorrow between 11am-4pm, Conejo Creek Park in Thousand Oaks. We’ll be teaming up for crafty fun with PAUSE4Kids to bring free art fun to all.
We’d love to see you there
Looking for something
Saturday, April 5, 2014
Lena’s mommy takes her many places around our nestled area and ventures to the Greater lands of Los Angeles too. Todays adventures have lead them to CReATE on the look out for something special. If you ask me they have found it in little miss Lena. I understand she loves to paint and I can see that by what she is drawn to, the easels. She spent her visit creating among other things a trio of mixed media collages that remind me of an I Spy book where the more you look the more you find.
Yes, I’d say something special is definitely right under our noses.

Rubber Stamps are the unsung hero’s of creative expression!
Out of the mouths of babes this wow creation stamps out an expression and make’s it stick to our thoughts with its whimsical and colorful imagery. I want to tune into my own gifts and take note of the gifts of others when I ponder what this visual implies.
