i love a good list

Visiting Jessica at To The Moon Designs I found that participates in a weekly list theme:  List it Tuesday.  I LOVE a good list and Aimee at Artsyville is encouraging me by giving me some new ideas for my list of lists - watch out!

This week is make a list of creative things you can do in 15 minutes.  Here's what occurred to me:

press fall leaves from my walks

take a photo on a walk and practice my techniques
stencil or paint a pumpkin for the front porch
find a new soup recipe
wrap smooth beach rocks in yarn or twine (I have quite a collection from my beach combing this summer)



paint an inspirational word on a beach rock
practice lettering
make a piece of mail art (visit MMSA for people to share with)
start working on a collage a day (thanks Jane Davies), even if I don't finish it
start or finish a scribble painting ala Jane Davies - totally fun and freeing
daydream
make a foam stamp from one of my pattern sketches
stick my nose in one of my new art books (the trick is to stop in 15 minutes!)

Next week I'll be more creative in my presentation - this list making seems like good journal page fodder, doesn't it?

The links from others have some of my same ideas (making a stamp seems to be a popular idea), but also some other ways to be creative or get those creative juices flowing.  How are you creative when you only have 15 minutes?
