How do you Express Your Creative Side?

I've been told that most of us with BP are very creative. How do you express your creativity??

Ex: Writing, Cooking, Scrapbooking, Collecting things, etc.

I write, cook/bake and occasionally do arts & craft stuff.

I used to see creativity in a particular light, however, there are so many more aspects to being creative such as problem solving and creating thinking. Creativity can be used for expression as well as for solutions.

I love elegant solutions to any problem.

I use writing alot. I also like a "thinking outside the box" solution to probelms, too.

I like crafts, but I'm not very gifted in that department...I still try.

First it is with cooking. I work on mastering dishes from around the world of the type I am particularly fond of such as Mexican, Italian, Indian, and all things Asian.
Second I write, have written one book and parts of another and periodicaly poetry just sort of fills me up and spills out.
I draw and paint a bit, am planning on doing a mural in my kitchen soon, hopefully before Thanksgiving.
I crochet and use my finished products as gifts for a bunch of friends.
I've built with my husbands help a log cabin and our current home and I find myself constantly drawing new ideas for homes I'd like to build "someday"
I also do some base relief carving and build small projects from wood. I'm hoping next summer to do a nice sized gazabo for bar-b-ques.

OMG! The ad with Abe Lincoln and that damn beaver just crossed over into my comment space so I couldn't write my comment until the ad scrolled back!
holy %^&*&^%$
What crap is that?

Any way,
Beside bitching,
I write and write and write.
I walk in the woods and talk/listen to God and have as much loving making as possible.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
