Hope that you had a chance to play with last week’s exercise. As my week went along, I found that my creative juices were beginning to flow. Sometimes just getting started helps move us forward. I ended up creating a YouTube video. It is pretty bad – but creating and posting it got me over […]
Rebooting Creativity
Creativity is something many folks think occurs in some magical way. The artist/crafter/creator gets some sort of visionary impulse that propels them unwaveringly toward their (typically fully internally realized) masterpiece. Maybe once in awhile – mostly in the movies and in books – but creativity typically expresses itself through practice and exposure. Like any “muscle”, […]
Celebrations Continue!
While face painting must be on hiatus during this phase of the pandemic, balloons are very much available! I can create personalized table top or floor centerpiece/decor items to celebrate graduations, birthdays, showers, etc. This video was for a birthday event that had a “sea theme”. Use the Contact or the Request a Quote form […]
Happy July!
Lately when people say they want things to get back to normal, I’m sort of scratching my head to remember what that means. Perhaps that’s a good thing. Maybe we have the opportunity to reinvent “normal” in a better way. I have friends that are loving working from home. Meetings are shorter because everyone is […]
Opening Up
Here in the Flower Mound area, as in much of Texas, there are tentative moves toward opening up. Covid cases continue to pop up so everyone is watching the current situation closely and hoping that things will continue to level and eventually drop. Here at Merry Sherry’s Creations, we are not quite ready to go […]
An Opinion Piece
What an extraordinary time this has been for the world. To those who have lost friends and family, my heart and prayers go out to you. I know this has been devastating for many – from the loss of loved ones, the loss of jobs, money, in many cases homes. Watching the news is disheartening […]
Graduation
Everyone looks forward to this rite of passage. Parents look forward to seeing their children take flight into adulthood. Children look forward to laying claim to “getting through” the craziness of school, school, school. But finding ways to celebrate in the current coronavirus pandemic adds a whole new level of “I survived it and lived […]
Celebrating
2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways. For far too many this has been a time of loss: jobs, schools, businesses, social connections, and the most horrific – loss of loved ones. It can feel pretty daunting to just get through the day – let alone think of celebrating anything. But life […]
Happy is Not Cancelled!
While things are pretty rough and it is going to take awhile to figure out next steps – it is still very important to remember what we retain! Life is happening – even in this midst of this difficult time. Birthdays are happening, weddings, babies are coming into the world, graduations are reached, anniversaries are […]
#OneMillionBubbles
I’ve been putting out balloon sculptures several times per week and have so enjoyed the reaction of the neighborhood. Today and tomorrow, I’m participating in the “One Million Bubbles for Joy” campaign. Thousands of balloon artists around the world are creating lawn art to share in their neighborhoods. Today I thanked parents. Our block is […]
