What an exciting and inspiring chat yesterday – all about living a creative life with our co-host Laura Simms (@laurasimms). Just in case you missed it, read Laura’s post “Wonder Walk: fresh tool for fresh sight” about taking some time to really “see” the inspiration around us which will help us live a more creative life. Special thanks to Laura for co-hosting our chat today!
Also be sure to check out the print made by Nicole of Three By Sea inspired by our chat, then go forth & live it-don’t plan it!
