Sometimes the best creativity doesn’t start with a shopping trip — it starts with what’s already sitting in your junk drawer.
Let’s be honest: you don’t need another trip to the craft store to feel creative. You don’t need the perfect setup, the “right” supplies, or a color palette that matches your Pinterest board. You just need to start — with what’s already in reach.
I’ve made things with my son out of cardboard tubes — yep, the ones from toilet paper and paper towels. Not glamorous. Not Instagram-perfect. But it got our hands moving, our imaginations going, and reminded me that creativity doesn’t ask for fancy — it asks for effort.
So here’s your nudge: stop waiting for ideal conditions. Look around your space, grab something that’s been collecting dust — scrap fabric, an old jar, that random notebook — and make something. Big or small, pretty or messy, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you made it happen.

What did you create from what you already had?
From my road to yours, happy wandering.
