Do you all have creative outlets? Just curious what you do, used to do when you had more time, or would like to try. 
I used to paint and draw some and write poetry. I'd like to learn to play the violin and the drums.

shoe outlets
Best places to get screaming deals on great shoes:

joes is definitely athletic only. STP is more athletic/hiking but not always -- they get overstocks from lots of places.
I have always had pretty flat feet. I got some Asolo low hikers from STP that are incredible. Retail was around $130, but by the time I got their discount plus my special coupon plus this that & the other thing and free shipping, I think I paid around 60 bucks, & my feet have never felt this good. I got some nice Birkenstock sandals recently for around half price, too.
consignment stores and outlets
I've been shopping those for years....I get sticker shock at the malls...prices are outrageous. In recent memory the most I've paid for a designer suit that included skirt, pants and jacket....houndstooth print in a petite size (which are hard to find) with the original tags still on it from a major dept store was $25. I did break down and spend $7 on a cashmere turtleneck though.  It's real fun to get a bargain and still have money left over to go grocery shopping.
Yes, we have to be creative
for this website and smarmy isn't strong enough but it'll have to do...LOL
Sorry I am not very creative so
I don't have a caption, but I am loving reading the posts.
How creative
That is such a creative idea. My husband owns an SLR digital camera and loves it. It is one of the best cameras we have ever owned.
I'm not very creative so
no suggestions on names here but I like the other ones that were mentioned below. Actually I posted a while back about wanting to find a way to make extra money maybe through farmer's marketsm craft shows, and such, focusing on jams and jellies and maybe a few single serving cakes, pies, scones, shortbread-type cookies to go with the other products.
Anyway, the point of my post is to wish you good luck! I have been too scared to start this venture yet but hope to in the spring, giving myself the winter to prepare. Please keep us posted! I know nothing about starting a business, licensing, etc. and that is the scariest part for me. I don't even know where to start! I think this could really work for you if your prices are right. I'm trying to do more homemade/from scratch items for my family for the sake of cost so you could provide the convenience to those who can't do it themselves and still provide them with some cost-savings not to mention all the controversy surrounding autism, ADHD, preservatives, etc. Seems like everything these days have something artificial in them and I like the idea of feeding my family without that.
Anyone know of a creative
type of profession one can train for without too lengthy schooling? I'm in my upper 40s and am never quite satisfied with "normal" jobs. I really need something creative but now don't have tons of years ahead for lengthy training (wish I knew then what I know now). Any ideas out there? Thanks! 
Creative Memories
My mother loved Creative Memories. She passed away last year, so I already have so much stuff, and I can say the items are well worth it. Creative Memories has nice stuff if you like to scrapbook. My Mom started a few books, which I will cherish forever. She was trying to make one for each child and grandchild, but she was cut short by an illness. I am loaded with Creative Memories stuff, but wanted to share that you will have so much fun being a consultant. I had a great time at one of the functions. I also saw a new twist on scrapbooking by using favorite recipes. Not only could you include pictures of family gatherings, but also type up the recipe for the scrapbook page. Fortunately my daughter spent a lot of time with my Mom and she will be able to use the supplies we have inherited through learning the techniques with my Mom and she's only 7. This is not something just for adult, but kids like it too! Good luck and happy scrappin'!!!!! I think you'll have fun meeting new people!
Any creative people out there?
In giving gift cards to kids on Christmas, how would you do that? I think it would be sad to just hand several gift cards to a kid that are in a tin or such. No christmas fun in that!
Has anyone ever tried being a Creative Memories consultant ...sm
If so, how did that work out for you? I just signed on to supplement with transcription and was wanting to know if anyone else had tried this before.
Have a great day!!
You are all so creative! I need help! I will choose the best answer sm
and so I hope you can help us!! My husband and I teach an adult Sunday School class married couples class. We need to come up with a catchy name to put in the bulletins, on-line, on the screen in the sanctuary to let others know about our class. We can't come up with anything! One couple suggested Married Rockstars! How hilarious is that? Of course, my husband and I don't look anything like rock stars. Couples of all ages and personality types come to the class. Can you think of anything?? It's been 2 weeks since we've been trying to come up with something! The ages range from 25-45 or so. Thank you so much!!!!!!!! 
Squirrels are creative, aren't they?
They can figure out a way to get into most birdfeeders. True acrobats!
I love it - very creative (true too). nm
:)
Any creative ideas for keep cats busy?
My cats have plenty of toys and there are two of them so occasionally they'll chase each other around the house, but does anyone have any suggestions for keeping them busy? I just had to go throw their toys around for a while because they jumped up on the desk and started pushing things off - I guess they were bored! They are indoor cats and one is overweight. Any ideas for things they can play with and maybe get some exercise?
All very funny and cute! What a creative group of mom's!
My son wants to be a french fry this year. I had it down and was ready to make a great costume until he clarified to me that it was 1 single crinkle cut fry...now I'm lost. I'm going to the fabric/hobby store today to get ideas. I don't know how anyone is going to know what he is! lol
That's a creative idea. I'd love to have a listen, but I'd never have the nerve to ask! n
OP
Creative ideas needed for an adoption party...sm
Hi,
We are finalizing the adoption on Monday of our 7-year-old foster daughter. We're working on setting a date for a party to honor this event and are trying to come up with some creative ideas of how to make this extra special but without spending a cazillion bucks.
Please post your ideas. Thanks!
