Some peoples' talents lie in the areas of arts and crafts. I visit several blog link-ups each week where people share where their creative muses have been taking them. Wow! The efforts are somewhere in the area of inspiring and mind-blowing.

When I think of industrious, I think of housework, not sitting at the computer writing stories. I need to get over that. :D
ReplyDeleteWriting stories is very worthy work, Patricia! Stories educate and entertain us. Thank you for the work that you do! :O)

ReplyDeleteI love keeping myself busy with blogging and papercrafts... And reading too. Well I guess that's industrious :) loved the topic you chose to write today.
ReplyDeleteI am terrible at art and craft but I like to let my fingers dance on the keyboard of my laptop as my thoughts get words on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSo does this count as "create beauty with our hands?' :P
