Got a dictionary handy? Maybe you should share with him what Webster has to say about it.

Gee, duh, tell hubby to look up CREATE in Genesis in the bible. God made something (a pretty awesome something I's say - the entire universe!) out of nothing. He had an ORIGINAL idea, an ORIGINAL plan. No blueprint. No copying from someone else. Just good old CREATIVITY at its best!!

Buy your husband a good dictionary.............and teach him how to use it. Then have him look up the word creative........he just might be surprised. Bea

"CREATIVITY is allowing yourself to make mistakes. ART is knowing which ones to keep."

if you take someones directions and follow them to the letter and make something exactly like someone else you have successfully RE created it. you havent pulled it out of the air and made it come into being with no direction but thru what is within you. sharet

Tell your DH to look up the definition of creative in his Funk and Wagnell's!
Being creative means to create, NOT copy!

Your husband sounds like mine, not a creative bone in their bodies, they are followers, not leaders, everything is done by the book, not like we do, we often check out things and make them our own by taking an idea and creating something of our own out of someone elses's ideas, your DH sounds like mine, the world is or should be all done on black and white :-D

What are your thoughts on being CREATIVE?
Your husband is soooo wrong. You sound like the ultimate creative person. Not only creating but doing things all new in your own fashion is super creative in my book. lol.
