The Creative Club

1. I have the most creative, talented friends and family in the world.

2. "The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty... remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe. Isn’t it remarkable to think that your very spirits are fashioned by an endlessly creative and eternally compassionate God? Think about it—your spirit body is a masterpiece, created with a beauty, function, and capacity beyond imagination...If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it.... As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you." (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf)

Because both of these things are true, I'd like to invite you to be part of The Creative Club:

This club is for anyone who wants to enjoy more creativity in their life. If you choose to be part of the club you'll be invited to a blog where you will also be an author and can post things you find creative for the rest of the group to enjoy.

Once a month we will get together and have a Creative Night where members will take turns teaching us a project or a skill (participants will pay for their own materials) or you're always welcome to bring an individual project of your own to work on. If you live out of town (not near Salt Lake) then you're still invited to be part of the club and participate on the blog and join us for events if you're ever in town that night.

If you'd like to be part of the club (of course you do!) then please respond to the questions below:

1. 
   
   Name:
   
   
   
2. 
   
   Email to send blog invite to (the blog is private so we can post addresses of events and last names and things like that):
   
   
   
3. 
   
   What night of the week would work best for you to come to a Creative Night (once a month)?
   
   
   
4. 
   
   Would you be willing to teach the group something? If so, what?
   
   
   
5. 
   
   Would you be willing to host a Creative Night at your house?
   
   
   
6. 
   
   What things would you like to learn at Creative Night (if you know anyone who has made something you like, this is the spot to recommend them!)?
   
   
   

Once we know what night works best for people, we'll schedule Creative Night for October. Leslie McNaughtan has volunteered to host the first event so watch for more details on that (to avoid "spamming" people, I'll only invite those who respond to this and want to be part of the club).

I can't wait! I need reasons to be regularly creative, to catch up on all my own projects, and to see great friends who make me feel so inspired!
