What are your thoughts on being CREATIVE?
Where on earth did your husband go to school? Did he go to school? Sorry, that was bad. But I do have to wonder where he got such a warped idea.
Let's go back to basics. God CREATED the world. He didn't buy a pattern, He didn't make it like His neighbor's. He made something new out of nothing.
Now, granted, we can't do that. But we can sit down with a pencil and paper and design something we can't find a pattern for or something different from the patterns available.
Of course, anyone who can design on their own is creative, but I'd also consider folks who try new color arrangements of old designs creative. Folks who take an old pattern and add a new twist to it are creative. People who step outside the boundries are creative.
You are CREATIVE, he needs to use a dictionary.
