I have been having a lot of fun lately listening to The Creative Mom Podcast.  This is not a podcast specifically about children and their crafts, but more about you, as a mom continuing to live a creative life withing the realm of your mothering.  I have to say that it is my favorite podcast!  Every week Amy Cowen talks about different avenues of creativity: visual art, journaling, knitting, photography, weaving, etc.  She reviews both adult and children's books that encourage creativity as well as blogs and podcasts that do the same thing.  Every week she also gives a creative prompt to get you moving in your own creative journeys.  Last week the prompt was, "Color My World" any medium could be used to express this idea.

I just did a quick sketch in my sketchbook for fun around this theme.  My piece was titled, "All I Need Are the Tools of the Trade to Color My World."

There is a Flickr group associated with her podcast for listeners to share works of any kind.  And she is currently signing up listeners who want to participate in an Artist Trading Card exchange.  Every week there is something new and inspiring to listen to, so I'd encourage you to check it out!  On an iPod or just on your computer, you should give The Creative Mom Podcast a listen.  I think you'll be glad you did!

This is a great project! I love scrapbooking and anything else creative. I am definitely going to give this a try. I am passing the link for the podcast on to my daughter. She is the creative genius in the family and she has some time in the evenings that she is looking for something to keep her busy.

Thanks for sharing,
Barb
