AGREE 100%
WOW - sure don't understand his thinking - since I always need some kind of pattern, idea, etc 1st, I consider myself VERY UN-CREATIVE - & envy all you talented people on here who come up w/such GREAT IDEAS. :oops:

I'm always thinking - "why didn't I think of that"!!!! :cry:

What are your thoughts on being CREATIVE?

TEll him to look up the word create in the dictionary.

Creative = Create meaning that something is made not following a pattern of something else and if you follow a pattern or a recipe you are not creative but following somone else's creativilty.

God CREATED heave and earth he did not follow someone else's pattern.

I agree with everyone. Your DH really has it backwards.
Happy Creating, Kutnso

Creative is doing your own thing. Cookie cutter is doing what someone else has already done for you. Not sure where he came up with his idea of creative.
